On weekdays I was only there morning and evening so I would put the things in morning, as that's when the others went out. I didn't do anything in the evenings as she'd be settled for the night then like normal... I'd say good at lunchtime when you go as that's when he'll be on his own...?

Also, just remembered, when my thoroughbred was on box rest years ago, I got big Coke bottles, hung them on string and painted molasses on for him to lick off, kept him amused :-)
