Like a siren’s song, eventers are drawn to obstacles we think can be jumped (Exhibit A: #EventerProblems Vol. 135). But a word of caution: check your footing first!
On a recent trip to the beach, British event rider Dan Sibley was enticed by this fun-looking drop into water. He canters toward it at a good clip and his horse, Chief, takes a brave leap off the bank and then … watch and see!
So…life lesson well and truely learnt today: …Things are not always what they seem…

Thankfully, both horse and rider are A-OK, if a bit damp.
Dan’s Facebook page posted: “We were very lucky this time! Will defiantly not be jumping into beach puddles anytime again without checking first!”
