When you’re riding down a huge drop and you think it should be over by now but you just keep on going down #rk3de #rolex #eventer #eventing #totallyrealistic #eventerproblems

Rolex weekend site crashes are a time-honored EN tradition, but usually you people at least have the decency to wait until cross-country day to overload us. Don’t worry: We’ve got our tech team working on it and we’ll be back up and running soon. #probably #putmorequartersintheslot #broketheinternetagain #whoops #eventerproblems #rk3de

This is totally a very large jump at #rk3de and not a Novice fence on our cross country course tomorrow. #eventerproblems #shenanigancity #forcedperspectives #rolex2016

My dad made the most inhuman noise when I told him how much the saddle I want costs #eventerproblems #Rolexproblems

Rolex is RIGHT NOW and I’m not there. That needs to be fixed or I mist be allowed to watch the live stream all day. #eventerproblems

@RolexKentucky jogs are my kind of runway #eventerproblems

I’m more excited for @RolexKentucky this weekend than to graduate from college next weekend. #eventerproblems @eventingnation

When you say that you’re going to @RolexKentucky and people ask if you’re riding. Thanks for thinking I’m awesome but no. #eventerproblems
