#EventerProblems, Vol. 31

There are natural resources on this earth that are available only in a finite, limited supply — oil, water and coal being a few examples. Other things, well, they just keep coming. Like #EventerProblems.

Here are 30+ more reader-submitted struggles. We’ll kick things off with one from EN’s own Jenni Autry …

If you missed them: Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

Mia eating up xc (before meeting our demise at the water). More importantly, do @joshautry’s videography skills remind anyone else of #blairwitchproject? #eventerproblems #ottb

Dear @riseupcoffee, I need the flat, non-dome shaped lids back in my life. The flys here at #closeupshowstables seem to enjoy your coffee as much as I do and I’m selfish, I don’t want to share!

Throwback to that one dressage test at Inavale that was really nice (for us) until we just had to throw in a rear before we went down the centerline to salute. #QueenofCairo #eventerproblems

Compete in first horse trial in 3 years on borrowed horse, emerge unscathed. Ride own horse next day, and we both faceplant #eventerproblems
