There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and #EventerProblems.
Especially #EventerProblems.
When we started this series last spring, we had no idea that it would take on a life of its own. Fifty shades of #EventerProblems later (at 30 #EPs a pop that’s about 1,500), however, the hashtag shows no sign of stopping.
Now more than ever, the struggle is real. Here are 30 more reader-submitted trials and tribulations from around the globe:

I tried yoga today. I didn’t hate it. My thought throughout most of the class: this reminds me of a centered riding clinic #eventerproblems
