My childhood cross country colors were turquoise and purple, which gave way to a goth all-black young rider phase, which gave way to the conservative era of adulthood. My current cross country color scheme is “whatever shirt is clean + grab a saddle pad, any saddle pad” — as a frazzled 30-something I’m doing well just to remember to pack the horse in the trailer, much less coordinate matching outfits.
Some eventers among us, however, never outgrew bright, youthful color schemes and a dedication to rocking them at every possible opportunity, and bless them for it.
A few purple-ish Instagram posts that jumped out at me this week:
A dedication to the color purple isn’t what I’d call an #EventerProblem. It’s an #EventerBlessing, making our sport a more vibrant place to be.
This week’s edition of #EventerProblems goes out to the fashionistas. EN salutes you.
Go Eventing!
