Photo Challenge: 8 #EquestrianProblems

First we had the tweets… now we have the photos.

Earlier this week we treated ourselves to the monthly Twitter roundup of #EquestrianProblems. The only thing that could possibly be funnier than 140 characters of the unique problems facing our odd little corner of the world… would be the photographs that prove it’s all way too real.
