Photo Challenge: 14 Horses Just Wearing It Wrong

Good try, guys … but that’s just not how you wear that.

Oh, horses: they’re scared of things like the wind and their own shadows, and yet they’re remarkably intelligent when it comes to figuring out ways to wiggle out of certain pieces of tack or accessories. This week, we wanted to see your horses wearing something just plain wrong — and as usual, our readers delivered. If you too have an escape artist, worry not — you’re not alone.
