[Booboos]

I do it all exactly the same every day...Sometimes I try to force myself to do the stables in different order (although the same routine for each stable) just to make sure I don't get too insane, bit it is hard

 

[Seahorse]

No I do things in all sorts of ways depending on what I feel like, today I rode before I mucked out for example.
I do odd things like go and fill a haynet halfway through mucking out!
I'm getting old too......

Oh dear ... what will you be like when you get to my age

... you'll be turning Axey out in his Stable Rug..... mind you does he ever get to wear it nowadays

 

[Seahorse]

LOL He lives in his turnout rug most of the time mainly because when it's on him he can't rip it down and trample it into his bed. It's the only rug he does it too.

It's because he is trying to put in on

Bless Him

More or less, yes, that way it is less likely I will forget to do something.


And at my age that is all too likely.

Sounds like we all suffer from OCD

1. soak hay
2. clean buckets
3. waters
4. feeds
5. muck out
6. get Ralphus in (he's usually at the gate watching

)
7. groom
8. lunge (cant ride at the mo

)
9. brush off and put to bed

 

[caemar1]

Yes! My friend is always taking the mickey out of me for it! Thing is though, my girs (of the equine variety) are used to it now as well and if I dont, say for example, feed them in a certain order they get wound up. I think my ocd has rubbed off on them.

It isn't just with the horses though, its with all the routine stuff I do at home as well.

 

[chaffinch]

Not all the time, but the basics are the same.
Am early feed
wash out feed and water and in winter put barley onto boil.
Groom and turn out

poo pick fields
PM

How old is old?

I pick and mix get bored if I did it the same everyday and I don't class myself as old

I have even been known to stop for a cuppa halfway thrugh filling nets then forget what I was doing!!!
