I am on a small private yard just myself with my pony and YO who has two horses. We are very good friends and its as much my home as it is hers! The thing is in the summer i like my pony to be out for as long as possible, she is cooped up for 14 hours a day in the winter so in the summer months i like her to stay out until late (we dont do 24hr turnout as not enough grazing). The problem now is my YO has started to bring hers in at 8ish and i want my pony out until 10ish so shes only in for 9 hours or so. She then brings her two in leaving my pony out on her own. She doesnt go mad or anything but she does call alot because she cant see them and expects to come in (as routine until now she has come in with her friends).
What i want to know is what you would do?
Would you bring your pony in early with her friends and then she is stuck in a stable longer?
Or would you leave her out on her own and get her in later?
Im probably making a big deal over nothing!

can't you make a compromise? She wants them in at 8, you want yours in at 10, why not get all in at 9? I don't think 1 hour is much of a difference. Everyone does it differently because they have to fit around other areas of their lives. If she left her horse out but had done everything else would you bring it in when you got yours? It's nice when you share a yard with a friend and can both muck in a bit.
 
Yes maybe i should just talk to her about it. I know its not the end of the world or anything its just one of those things that upsets me seeing her cooped up early when its a lovely sunny evening. Oh well lifes not perfect!
 
This might sound harsh but its her yard and her horses. She can do what she likes and theres nothing you can do.
If you want to leave your horse out then do, he'll soon get used to being on his own.
 
No absolutely thats quite right.
What i wanted to know was what people thought was best for my pony to leave her out on her own or to bring her in early with others?
