#JumperProblems, Volume 6

Hunters, jumpers, equitation riders … we’ve all got #jumperproblems, and it’s high time we rallied on social media to share those problems with the world.

There are a few situations that are unique to our world, and in our new series, we’ll be celebrating and sharing those problems here on Jumper Nation. Tag your tweets and Instagram with #jumperproblems to be featured in an upcoming edition! Find past volumes by clicking the #jumperproblems hashtag at the bottom of the page.

First, a tribute to the other great Olympian (other than all of our favorite showjumpers), Michael Phelps:

Had to share this photo @ottblvr took at the show this past Sunday. Squid lost a shoe at the show. Thankfully the barn owner is a farrier! … #horseshow #horseshowproblems #equestrian #equestrianproblems #jumpers #horses #horsestagram #ottb #thoroughbred #barnlife #farrier #horseshoes
