13 #EquestrianProblems According to Twitter

Because brevity will always be the soul of wit.

I realize that a common complaint with Twitter is that people “just don’t get it” but you don’t need to have a Twitter account to appreciate these tweets: the forced brevity that comes with only having 140 280 characters to express yourself is funny no matter if you know how Twitter works or are totally mystified trying to figure out why it even exists. This is why it exists: so we can express our #equestrianproblems.

Me: omg call the vet she needs a full body cast and a sling #equestrianproblems

Trying to decide on a show name for my horse is so stressful. What if I choose a name she doesn't like or if it gives her a complex!?! #equestrianproblems

8am: Decide to get the farrier out again because the horse is showing no improvement with his lameness 10 days post abscess.

I’d take one of those cute hand-holding photos with my husband but he won’t hold my hand because they usually smell like the barn. #equestrianproblems

You know you’re a horse person when…you and three other people take off your hats and shake them at a 1200lb creature, all to get its ears pricked forward, so a fourth person can get a cute picture. We must look so weird to normal people. #equestrianproblems #horsepeople
