#EventerProblems Vol. 148 from Ecovet: Summer Bummers

Bum-crack of dawn rides, scary tanlines, sizzling temperatures, storms that turn horse shows into mud wrestling tournaments (we see you, Fox River Valley Pony Club H.T.!) … some #EventerProblems are particularly rampant this time of the year.

Here’s a sampling!

Before and after conditions of today at Fox River Valley HT. But eventers do it with a smile and get it done (and are tempted to do a slip’n’slide competition with the riders)! SJ tomorrow and XC Sunday, with a forecast of only ☀️ the rest of the weekend! 😁🏇🏻 . . #eventers #horsetrials #eventinglife #stillsmiling #happyplace #equestrian #mudmask #dressage #eventerproblems #happyfriday #eventingnation #teambowmansporthorse
