#EventerProblems Vol. 158 from Ecovet: Just Nod and Smile

We eventers learn to roll with the punches. Rando horse show up in the ring during your dressage test? Nod and smile. Rodeo erupting in the ring beside you? Nod and smile.

Well Owen definitely wins the good boy award for today. He was having a great dressage test and then the announcers said there was a lose horse. Not one, but two! Well this guy decided to join us in our dressage test. Can’t say I’ve seen this happen before..but I’m so proud of how well he handled it and after a second he settled right back into it and had a good test. #eventingnation #eventerproblems ((swipe to see the video 👉🏼))

So proud of my girl for staying focused and putting in the top dressage test in my division despite the rodeo in the background and people screaming LOOSE HORSE! #eventerproblems #dressage

It might be RedNumbers XC day when you insist on wearing your old faithful, but rather tattered, boots & britches. #EventersArentSuperstitious #RedNumbers #EventerProblems #BadEventer #TheBadEventer

When you’re Oliver Townend , you’re in 2nd at burghley, and you want to walk your striding from 5 to 6 but there’s a band and knife wielding gurkas in your way…. you just eyeball it.
