Am I the only weird one that likes mixing feeds?

[Gorgeous George]

Ok I've only had a horse a few weeks, but I love making up his feeds

his feed is very straight forward hi-fi and balancer but somehow I love doing it, so am I weird or do others enjoy this job too

 

[JAK]

Well, we can both be weird together then because I love doing this too!

 

[Porkie]

No, not weird at all!! I love making my feeds up too!! Would hate to be on full livery where I couldn't!

 

[fireduplee]

I love it too, I think it is something to do with the satisfaction of caring for your horse,

 

[Solstar]

i lurve it too! sol has really 'good' feeds to mix... alfabeet, lo-cal, mix, molasses, salt, garlic and molasses!

 

[JoBo]

No not weird at all, i also love making up feeds (wel maybe we are both werid, who knows). I think it comes from going from full livery to keeping them at home, i love the control! Saying that Bodey onl gets Alfa-a oil and veg.

Its the best part

I like it too, making sure the horse gets the right amount of each feedstuff and supplement is sort of satisfying! I usually ask to do it at work, about 20 horses to do morning and night feeds for - plus it keeps me indoors out of the rain!
It's probably the reason my horse has so many supplements at the moment, she only has chaff for her tea so I need *something* to mix with it!

*I must stop feeding my horse so much, I must stop feeding my horse so much...*!

 

[custard]

Me too, it's the only 'cooking' I actually like doing!

 

[xxcharlottexx]

nope i love mixing feeds too. Especially when theyve got mollases in

 

[CentrestageSHS]

I love getting a massive big scoop of something and plonking it in, I love it as well when you're feeding sugarbeet, I make it quite watery and when it's mixed with cubes it makes a really good mush!!! When it's cold and snowing in winter I make speedibeet with warm water, and the horses love it!! It's all warm and steamy and smells nice!

I used to think I was sad for loving making up feeds. Always have, whether doing fifty or two!

 

[wonkey_donkey]

The I'm weird too cos it's may fav job !!!

 

[Vicki1986]

its my fave job, i am on full 5 day livery but still make all my own feeds, i have 6 buckets so make a few days worth at a time and i also have a little stash of 7 or so plastic sealed lunch bags that have pre-made feeds in for when im in a hurry i can just dump them in the buckets x

 

[wizzi901]

[wvfoxylady]
