Weekend Instagram Roundup: Keeping It Real Out There

For as serious and intense as this sport can sometimes seem, at the end of the day we all just want to have fun. And we can always count on you guys to bring the “insanity in the middle.”

Here are a few of our fave photos from weekend USEA horse trials from around the country!

Coach Will Faudree was a great sport today in getting in the dunk tank to help raise money for the area. This coordinator was glad she got to dunk him first. But then he got the last laugh and I was then told I was next in the tank with him getting the honor to dunk me. Thanks to Rebecca Christine Brown @rebeccabrownie , Becky Roper and Kimberly Brunson for stepping up too! #areavyoungriders

Tangó was a shining star this weekend✨✨! We threw our best Training level dressage score by a long shot. He was fabulous out on cross country and to finish it off jumped soooooooo carefully in the show jumping. I am so grateful to all the support that I have from my wonderful mom ,@payne.misty, to awesome coach ,@attila_rajnai. To pile onto all of this our team finished second. Tangó and I continue to improve and get better and better. Onwards and upwards!!! PC: Tara Munroel

We got a Novice horse on our hands now! Had an excellent, relaxed dressage test, a solid XC with all errors on me, and a rideable and fun horse for SJ. Really looking forward to sharpening up over the next couple weeks before Aspen!

It’s so wet we forgot it was raining! Extremely proud of Camryn White and Petra for scoring a 33.10 for 3rd place after dressage in the Junior Training division at Plantation Field Horse Trials today. The best test they’ve ever done and it was in the mud! #welldone #dressage #eventing
