#EventerProblems Vol. 144 from Ecovet: Stop in the Name of Love

… Before you break my heart. JK! Horses are heartbreakers, we all know this, and we’ve all had our hearts smooshed a bit over the years. But no worries — we just break out the duct tape and the baling twine and fix ’em right up again, good as new! Never stop, horses.

Here’s your latest batch of #EventerProblems, and it’s an extra epic one. Enjoy!

I had such a fun weekend riding Rufio in the clinic! Thank you for all of your help and support, @eventerskickon1! Rufio was mostly great, but somehow my video was all the struggle moments. Here are pictures of my stubborn and opinionated animal ???????????? Still mostly love him! #rufiothehorse #didntfalloff #struggles #antaressellier #antaressaddle #alltheopinions #eventing #eventerproblems #eventersolutions #contortionist

That terrifying moment when your horse is requiring a lot of leg to turn… and then you see the bit hanging out of the side of his mouth ???????????????? #thanksalot #nathe #eventerproblems #maybethesethingsexpire

"Friend?! Are you okay?! Wilson!!" She stallion grunted and quietly squealed… just in case. Overall she did extremely well staying connected and relaxed in a new place! ???? #marelife #sillygirl #eventerproblems #eventerlife #bigbraveeventinghorse

Sometimes you get weird looks as the only male rider at an event, especially when you are 6’2” tall, your horses are a little crazy, you look better in breeches than the ladies, and you have a tendency to laugh when you should be scared… But sometimes you know on the inside that you sleep on pink/purple pony sheets you stole from your daughter because they are the most comfy set that fit your mattress…it’s the little things that make life fun… #eventerproblems #eventer #ottb #jumper #frankenventer #juicedeventer

#eventerproblems is not knowing whether the 5.6 lb bag of mints for homemade horse cookies or the 5 lb bag of sour patch kids for horse show treats is more ridiculous. Let the show season begin!!!
