Weekly Instagram Round-Up

This week: we coin the tag #wintermakesuscrazy.

The troops are getting restless and even our boots seem have given up hope that spring is on its way (see the ‘gram by @kortneyeggers below). To keep our spirits up through winter’s last gasp, the Horse Nation is coping in some unusual ways. From decking horses out in hats and costumes to participating in wild-looking snowy sports, this week’s Instagram standouts are making the most of what Mother Nature throws their way!

‘Gram of the Day from @xrarider: When you don’t have a tape measure or ruler so you have to improvise #horsenation #equestrianproblems #snowpocalypse

‘Gram of the Day from @dry7: By day: bored playboy billionaire But by night: he is BATMAN! The caped crusader fighting the injustices of iced over water buckets, deworming, itchy blankets, mane pulling. His arch enemies include: the farrier, the vet, anyone who makes him work hard. #horsenation #winterhorses #wintermakesuscrazy
