How important is routine to horses?

Our horses are on a livery/riding school/schooling yard. ALL stabled horses are fed at same time every morning, everynight. Turned out horses are a bit different as some get fed and some dont, horses are mucked out at same time everyday, but get ridden and groomed whenever but they are in a pretty strict routine.
 
Mine get fed and mucked out first thing, they are worked in the morning (generally speaking)
They get turned out after work and brought in at around the same time but evening feed and skipping out, I like to do about 9 - 10p.m. but it is nothing for me to fall asleep on the sofa and wake up after midnight and go do them!
Makes mucking out in the morning a lot easier!

If they object then I have never yet received an e mail complaining!
