Horses and babies.
I have a 3 year old and 7 week old baby.
When my 3 year old was a baby he was guaranteed to fall asleep in the car and sleep for hours so 99% of the time I could whizz round doing my horse whilst he snores in the car parked on the yard so I could keep an eye on him!
Even now at the yard hell either fall asleep on the way and Ill leave him in the car or hes happy playing with scooters/bikes/bubbles/wheelbarrows etc that are up the yard.
This new little man is completely different, is very clingy and will not sleep in the car even though I leave for the yard when hes ready for a sleep.
Im having to do all chores with him in a stretch wrap!
Sadly the livery who I was sharing duties with horse was pts last week so Im having to go up twice daily and the weather is horrendous!
Im really struggling....
Living out isnt an option at this yard, I deep litter stable, do all haynets at weekend when hubby is home, I have a sharer that comes up 2 mornings a week.
Any one else in this situation? Any tips to make my life easier? I hate doing horses at the moment, really dread it!
Sharer has offered to do more but shell have to turn out/bring in early/late which means all other horses wont be out yet/already in and my pony hates being on her own. Shes 24 this year so selling/moving isnt really an option.
