‘Oh Crap’ Monday

Monday is the crappiest day of the week, so it only makes sense that we make things official. Here’s our latest batch of reader-submitted photos and videos!

Julie Howard: “I was at GMHA in Vermont at an event competing novice. My horse likes the long spots but we were working on our distances. I also needed to stay back and tall so I didn’t get flopped on her neck or fall if she stopped. Well, I stayed back all right, and when she unexpectedly left out a huge stride to leap over this cross country fence I was almost left in the next state! Luckily I stayed on and we finished to come in third in our division! But it makes for a hilarious picture!”

My horse decided today that the flowers are not meant to be jumped alone as a skinny especially after another jump… this was one of many attempts, but I ? off the side and refused to come off #horsefail #eventersofinstagram #jumpingfail ?

Considering I currently am unable to sleep I decided to make this lovely collage of my jump course over the summer that started flawless and ended in me eating dirt. Why? Well because I am an equestrian and what do we do better than riding? We laugh at ourselves. Also it was Roman’s first jump competition and longest course he’s ever done, and we 110% winged the whole thing. Honestly expected this exact outcome. Video will be posted one day. #ottb #thoroughbred #horsenation #ponyhabit #eatourdust #jumper #hunterjumper #ohcraphn

When the old guy isn’t quite as graceful as he used to be… at least he caught himself. Lol. #OhCrapHN
