#EventerFailFriday: The Road to Success Is Paved With Fail

I don’t know why this series is called #EventerFailFriday. All the riders and horses in these photos and videos are putting themselves out there, going for it, living their best lives. In my book, that’s not failure. That’s just a speedbump on the road to success. Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you’ll land among stars, as the saying goes. Or maybe you land in a water jump. The important thing is that you get up, wring the water out of your shirt, and try-try again.

An unfortunate exp at the water… #eventerproblems #dunktank #chp

I think Cidney might be just a little happy to be jumping again after almost a year and a half off… #southerncomfort #cidney #ciderman #ottb #offthetrackthoroughbred #thoroughbred #gelding #eventer #eventing #eventerproblems #threedayeventing #horsesofinstagram #eventingnation #eventersofinstagram
