#EventerSolutions: DIY Nation

You’ve got problems … we’ve got solutions. Or, at the very least, we have a harebrained idea and some duct tape. Here are a few of the best examples of eventing DIY-itude we’ve seen of late!

Just used my stock tie pin to get a boatload of hay out of my phone's charging port. It worked phenomenally well. #eventersolutions #horseshowhack

This was my solution for getting caught out in the dark the past few nights. Seems to work pretty well with our hi-vis gear to keep us safe. #eventersolutions

I asked my hubby to pick up straw. He came back with these and about 7 other costumes. "They were on clearance. I WILL desensitize your horse." #eventersolutions #amynelsoneventer #eventing #horsestraining #equestrianhusband #jumper #horses #farmlife #creepy

When you smash your knee into the bar at work, it's a good thing to have so many horse care products on hand! Keeping the swelling down! #clumsy #nodoctortoday #noridingtoday #shakingmyhead #eventersofinstagram #eventersolutions
