#EventerProblems: Vol. 36

OMG you guys, I leave you alone for a few days and your #EventerProblems spiral completely out of control.

Out. Of. Control.

Here are another 30 read-submitted super-real struggles.

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, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35.

All I wanted to do is take a #selfie, but no. #3Star rider #MaraDepuy gets in the way. Ugh. #photobomb #CIC3star #eventing #congoBrazzaville #EquestrianProblems #equestrian #sunburn #HorseSelfie #fairhillinternational #duttafhi #eventerProblems

Have you ever gone into panic mode while driving home from work because you can’t remember if you left your lucky whip (you know, the one you carried around all the big courses, on all the crazy racehorses, and in every lesson ever and is falling apart but you won’t replace ever) on the trailer ledge after your lesson ON FRIDAY??? Crisis averted…I found it. #eventerproblems #orisitjustme

When your horse doesn’t understand why we have to have a lesson so early in the morning… Thank you Allie for the great lesson this morning and for doing it so early! Feeling great about this weekend at KHP #earlymornings #ottb #eventerproblems #sleepyhorse #college

When you just can’t do today because life is hard, it’s 2:30 in the afternoon and you’re still hungover from margarita Tuesday, and you still have 5.5 hours until you can go home….we go on a trail ride. #eventerproblems #eventersolutions
