Let’s be honest here: dish soap is for getting leder-balsam off hands, not for cleaning dishes. #horsegirlproblems #eventerproblems

Horse life: go have a blast for two hours, get back and take care of the horses, sort out tack from the trailer, make hot chocolate, do evening chores, blanket and turn out now dry horses, remember you made hot chocolate,start cleaning tack, put clean tack away, drive home for dinner and muck the trailer in the morning when you can see. #wouldnttradeitfortheworld #horsegirlproblems #horsegirllife #eventerproblems

Sometimes I get distracted by other projects and forget to check in on the #EventerProblems hashtag for a few days.
