‘Oh Crap’ Monday: Sand Gnat Edition

Monday is already the crappiest day of the week, so it only makes sense that we make things official. Here’s our latest reader-submitted “oh crap” video.

The return of warm weather to some parts of the country has us looking forward to all the great things that springtime has to offer: lengthening days for more riding, air temperatures that don’t hurt your face, access to all the riding places that were previously frozen solid…

And bugs. Sorry, folks, but warm weather means the flies and gnats will start creeping back, one irritating buzz at a time.

From reader Lynn Thompson: “My mare Diamond hates sand gnats. This is her opinion on them making a comeback for the spring.”

Sorry, Diamond. Looks like you found a good spot to itch, at least!
