#EventerFailFriday: The Road to Success?

Every road to success is paved with a few potholes, right? That’s what I keep telling myself anyways. For complete transparency, here’s a few of my own #EventerFailFriday moments:

The creature decided today was as good a day as any to dump me in the lake and give my saddle a bath 😅 #horsenation #horsesofinstagram #itwasTOOhot #eventersgonewild #hishappyplace #ohcrapHN

Is it too early for #eventerfailfriday ? Trying to sharpen up #legacy🦒 jumping with some grid work, and he definitely thought this bounce was an oxer. Nice effort bud 🙈 #eventing #clevelandbay #thoroughbred

#failfriday post is coming early since it turns out I'm away on friday After about 5 minutes of debating, Gem finally decided to rocket launch into the water jump, which as you can see was not to graceful! No hate please, I know this one is a fail! Miss u @ali_neustaedter #eventer #equestrian #eqfails #waterjump #eventerfailfriday

A late #failfriday for today…because I have nothing exciting to post. When the short-strided mule that prefers a short spot says “wait”, you’ll wish you had waited! Also, is it just me, or does @anobbsy look way too nonchalant here? My most graceful exit and leapfrog impression 🐸 from last summer. Poor mule put up with so many of my shenanigans. Missing him quite a bit lately. 💜💜 #fail #eventerfailfriday #mulesofinstagram #assassinthemule #eventingmule #jumpingmule #majorfail

Zig was convinced the one stride should be a bounce, but is a good boy and squeezed the one in… #failfriday #eventerfailfriday #comingintohot
