#EventerProblems Vol. 143 from Ecovet: Tell Us How You Really Feel About Dressage

Griping about dressage is an #EventerProblems classic and just never gets old. Tell us how you really feel about ye olde sandbox, Eventing Nation!

When your dressage trainer sees something in the shop and knows you'll love it….. yay for new shirts and awesome trainers???? #eventerproblems #eventingnation #dressageisresllyhardok

Don't let that sweet, sleepy face deceive you. We are comfortably holding up last place after dressage at #SpringGulch in the Intro division (of all places). Cuz this fuzzbutt can't adult himself around a few circles in a little white box. Sigh. My competitive side is dying a million deaths tonight. Goal tomorrow: NO stadium or cross country run-outs. Only way to go is up, right? #operationnotgeteliminated #areaixeventing #usea #eventerproblems #myhorseisatourist #focushelacks #OTTBproblems #lastplace #ohcash #sigh

When the baby event horse meets a water jump for the first time and thinks it’s pretty much THE BEST THING THAT’S EVER HAPPENED. The narration from @anchorequestrian really adds to the spectacle. #waterjump #eventer #futureeventer #horses #ponying #warmblood #thoroughbred #crosscountry #trailriding #babyhorse #poorlongsufferinghenry #equestrian #horsenation #eventerproblems

Poor mare. Reduced to drinking puddles because she doesn't have a full bucket of fresh water in her stall or a full water trough 20ft to the right… #addsflavor #survivormare #marelife #thegoodonesarequirky #eventerproblems

Focusing on how nicely Nick jumped this training question and not on the slow-mo of me getting smacked in the face by a tree branch ????????

Meet Shimmer. Seamus’ Friday night alter ego. Because his dream job of being a high class event pony doesn’t pay his feed bills. #irishgatessecretnotion #eventhorse #eventerproblems #hesgoingtokillme #yeswegetboredatthebarnonfridaynights #nightbeforeanevent
