If you missed them: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, Part VII, Part VIII, Part IX, Part X, Part XI, Part XII, Part XIII.

At the end of a long hot and exhausting day at the horse show with @clarkeventing yesterday (where Julie and Fleur won 1st place in the Open Prelimary division!) super groom @toribeauche shares her LAST piece of watermelon with Fleur. As per usual, princess Fleur only does things daintily – including biting into a watermelon. #repost @toribeauche #horse #horses #horseshow #horsepower #watermelon #summer #horseshow #cute #funny #funnyvideos #instafun #eventerproblems
