A recent social media phenomenon has hit the online equestrian community — the #CupOfTeaChallenge. Started by dressage rider Charlie Hutton, plenty of other riders have decided to take him on in their own versions of the challenge, with some sticking to fancy flatwork, while others have put their brave pants on and incorporated some jumps. The challenge? Hold a mugful of tea in one hand, reins in the other, and try not to spill anything.

So let’s take a look at some of the #CupOfTeaChallengers — we doff our caps to you!
