Discussing “the Big D” with a friend…has a completely different meaning to us… Clearly we’re discussing dressage… #EventerProblems

Cruz is quite the over achiever! He likes to set personal goals and his goal right now is apparently setting a record on how many times he can get hurt in a week! Btw I’ve honestly never iced a horses back before… #firsttimeforeverything #thoroughbredproblems #eventerproblems
