Dee decided that he wanted to hide his halter, my crop, and my bridle rack in his stall. Took me at least 10 minutes to find them all. #eventerproblems #eventersofinstagram #horsesofinstagram #horseworldproblems #AFHT #areavii #eventinglive #eventingnation #naughtypony

When the horse is sad because he’s wearing 4 different shampoos at the same time. We’re currently fighting the good fight against the summer crud, grass stains, identifying as a chestnut, and the struggle of being a grey. He hates me. #Ottb #grey #babyshampoo #blueshampoo #iodineshampoo #maneandtailconditioner #thoroughbred #greyhorsestruggles #eventerproblems #nobelleamerican

When the barn cat knows you’re babysitting the barn by yourself and decides to scare the living daylight out of you and play roadkill. Surprise he was just play possum. #eventerproblems #barncatsofinstagram #barncatlife
