Just interested to see what you'd be doing with your horse every day of the week.

Post in the form of-
Monday-
Tuesday-
etc

=D
 
Well it varies a lot, but just an e.g.

Mon - go for a short hack.
Tues - jumping lesson
Weds - go for a long hack with my friend and her pony
Thurs - quick plod round the block after a night at work
Fri - clear round jumping
Sat - go to a show, jumping/dressage/showing/xc
Sun - 30 mins in the school
 
Scenario 1 - if not competing the coming weekend, or if doing some form of jumping/ODE

Monday - day off (if have competed the day before, but if haven't competed then will probably school ahead of my dressage lesson)
Tuesday - dressage lesson
Wednesday - day off, or hack if weather is nice!
Thursday - schooling
Friday - hack
Saturday - jumping lesson/clinic/schooling
Sunday - hack/compete

Scenario 2 - approaching a dressage comp!

Monday - school (day off if have competed on Sunday)
Tuesday - hack
Wednesday - school in prep for lesson and isolate any issues
Thursday - day off
Friday - school
Saturday - school a little bit until happy, then hack to relax
Sunday - dressage test

Monday - Dressage trainer (act as though cannot remember anything that was taught previuos week)
Tuesday - Canter track (forget that i have fifth gear and am a lazy WB)
Wednesday - Day off (Favourite day)
Thursday - Jumping lesson (Jump far too high and wide and make mum look like a muppet)
Friday - Schooling in outdoor or go on our farm ride (however the farm ride can be scary with all those clouds 'sheep' in the field)
Saturday - BE event or just hack if none on (Note to self hacks are scarier than eventing)
Sunday - BD event or schooling if none on. (Find the nearest stallion at BD event and behave like a tart)

Monday - Eat grass, make a fuss if no turn out.
Tuesday - ditto above
Wednesday - ditto above
Thursday - dito above
Friday - ditto above
Saturday - Go for a long hack and behave like two year old
Sunday - Go for long hack if didn't on Saturday
Eat grass
 
Mon - day off
Tues - lunge 30mins or school/jump 1 hour
Weds - hack 1 hour or lunge
Thurs - school or jump
Fri - lunge or school
Sat - hack, jump or 1 hour lesson
Sun - competition/ clinic or lesson

I also try to get lessons in the week if I can
 
Mon - he eats in his field all day and does not a lot
Tues - same as above but sometimes get a half hour hack in during the summer before work
Wed - hack out
Thurs - hack out
Fri - hack out
Sat - hack out
Sun - hack out
 
Just an example as it varies

Mon - Day off
Tues - Lunging
Weds - short hack or schooling session or another day off
Thurs - Lesson
Fri - Hack, more lunging or short schooling session
Sat - longer hack
Sun - Longer hack (hopefully some shows soon too)
 
Monday - sometimes a day off, if he's had a busy weekend, if not then jumping/poles/school
Tuesday - school
Wednesday - school
Thursday - day off, as I'm at college and my OH looks after him
Friday - silly fun evening, as my friend comes to ride him and we take it in turns, we usually jump, or play pony games
Saturday - school/jump, or very ocasionally go to a show/to the gallops, or out for a hack (if I can find anyone to hack with), or OH comes to ride like a nutter, or his nieces come for a pony ride
Sunday - same as Saturday

I feel horribly guilty at the moment as I don't take him out hacking enough

but don't really have anyone to go with and can't face it on my own

Hopefully will do a bit more hacking in summer...
