Mine's on assisted DIY on a livery yard :)
He's fed and turned out in the mornings so I don't get my school uniform covered in mud.

How about you guys?
 
a private yard, horse comes in at night in winter/out in day, summer he lives out 24/7. The pony lives out 24/7/365 very rarely ruged either, has hay when it gets very bad and abit of happy hoof. Both seem happy with it. :)
 
On DIY but I take it in turns with other people to turn out and bring in otherwise I wouldn't be able to manage
 
at my home and turned out all the time unless lame etc. agree with mulled wine that it can be lonely and what are holidays?

In my head I'd have about eight stables, three for me and a few to rent out. Never going to happen because of a hundred reasons but I'm 16 and it's nice to dream eh:')
 
At home two still in at night one who is getting fit fot HDT and my TB who would die if turned out in this weather, two out coming in part of the day one on his hols shoes off being walked one day fifteen mins lunging the next ,other one no shoes too a Long term reschooling project hacking lunging doing flat work.
Just waiting for the weather to turn mild to get the TB out at night.
 
At the moment, on DIY livery. She's in over it in winter but I put her out as early as I can and bring her in as late as I can. Out all the time in summer. Currently looking for a house to rent which ncludes some land or has a field nearby so she can stay out all the time. She hates being n and I hate her being in.
 
Mine are in our own private yard. Out 24/7 with access to 2 stables as and when they want - at the moment given hay at night but hopefully once it warms up the grass will grow a bit better!

Either myself of friends go up twice a day.
 
Mine are on a DIY yard they are now out 24/7, but come in at night during the winter. We have a yard manager we can pay to do anything if needed.
 
Mine are on part livery at a livery yard. I work there too (am joint yard manager) so it's really good as I can fit them around my job really easily. :)
 
we rent a field for our 4 they live out 24/7 and have a field shelter if they want it. The field owners are not horsey but are there all day and wll call us if there is a problem. We spend most of our evenings and weekends there.
 
DIY. Arrive at crack of dawn, ride and muck out, while 'midget' (she's 16.1) plays in paddock. Return in evening and just bring back in. Trying to get my own business off ground so have quite a bit of time while I sort things.
 
We've got our own stables and land, with a few friends who keep theirs with us too.

Rocket lives out in summer/nice weather, but is stabled overnight in the winter.
Conker and Jack live out all year round unless the weather is ridiculously horrendous, in which case, they stay in over night.

I don't work anymore either, so I can spend lots of time with them. In a very lucky situation now, but was at a couple of not so nice yards along the way!!
 
Full livery at the riding school I've ridden at for the past 12 years :D

He lives out 24/7 in a herd of geldings...there's about 15 of them in total in a MASSIVE field. He loves it!

He has his own stable on the yard too when he comes in. He used to live in all the time and go out once a day but was too hyper. He's brilliant now he's out!
 
Out 24/7 and checked twice a day. TB is fed, but native x is currently on a diet! Kept on a farm with 3 other 'liveries' and suits us down to the ground, although I am having to look for a bigger field due to my mum's coming to me in the summer
 
Restricted working livery (only used for hacking and occasional jumping lessons with lightweight adults).

In during the day, out at night in a big herd. Fed once a day and hay in the morning

He is the happiest I've ever known him.
