Eight TikToks that totally sum up life as an equestrian

Have you succumbed to the TikTok craze yet? Arguably the app of 2020 – move over, Zoom – the content creation platform isn’t just the home of over-adrenalised tweenagers and terrible 10-second remixes of the same three songs you hear on every single Instagram story. As it turns out, there’s also an ever-growing community of equestrians hiding out there – and they’re more than happy to poke fun at themselves and our (often strange) little world.

In need of some quick laughs – all killer, no filler? We’ve rounded up our eight favourite clips from the horsey side of TikTok – and we take no responsibility for the rabbit hole you might just fall down…

8. Turns out there are plenty of universal signs to show you’re a horsey person.

If you know, you know.

6. Even horses can get involved with human challenges.

5. “Who ARE you?!”

If your horse has ever shaded you because you have makeup and normal clothes on, you’ll feel this in your soul.
