How many horses does everyone have?

[_jetset_]

Just wondering how many horses you all have... I have one but am getting another on loan very soon (but will be three in March when Han's foalie comes

)

 

[eekmon]

Yea just the one! Have had him 24 years !! Have no time or money for another!!

 

[druid]

Three as of this evening and...ride all at least 3 times a week and S at least 5 times.

 

[pixie]

There isn't an option for none

 

[vic07]

have 6 - 2 youngsters, 3 eventers and 1 dressage horse. They get at least 2 days off per week. Hence why 2 must go as this isn't sustainable with a full time job!

 

[Shrimp]

One and exercise him in one way or another nearly everyday day.

 

[Zebedee]

Five in total of my own. One away learning to be a show jumper, and three grazing in my charge, making seven at home (four mine plus the three) & one away.
All breeding / youngstock at home at the moment bar one, so no don't ride them all (thank goodness!)

 

[jewel]

3 one is old so retired. a shetland pony for my daughter and a yearling so i have some thing to ride when my daughter starts schoo

Sorry about not putting none on... I tried to edit it but it wouldn't let me for some reason.

Have 5 at the moment, but one is for sale as hopefully will have another 2 next year (foalies).

3 are riding/driving ponies other 2 are horses that are ridden and competed.

One! I'd love more but just don't have the money! I ex him every day except one that my trainer schools him (gives me a day off). I'm always intrigued at how other people with full time jobs manage more than one horse? I'd love to consider buying no. 2 some time next year but worry that it could get too much.

I did have three, but over the past 18 months, I have gone down to one

My two year old kicked me in the face last April and caused a fractured mandible, so when I had to move stables, he was sold as I did not trust him any more. Then at Christmas my beloved Flyer (palomino) died of a heart attack.

I used to ride/lunge each horse daily (except the baby - he was walked out ect). Now I ride/hack daily or twice a day if I'm feeling energetic

Poor Ralph doesn't know what has hit him

 

[JadeWisc]

three.....2 are ridden a few times weekly and one is in training to start to be ridden

 

[MagicMelon]

5. I try to ride most of them daily but often dont get a chance to!

 

[Tia]

I think I have 13 horses of my own right now. I ride almost every day and will ride 2 or 3 of them generally. Once in a while I have a blitz and ride 6 or 7 of them....but that doesn't happen too often. I don't really need to exercise mine myself though as others do it for me

.

 

[CastleMouse]

I have 1 pony

 

[_daisy_]

ive got 5. 3 are ridden or worked everyday. Ebi & Willow are obviously just happy left in the field. Dont think I could cope working 5 everyday.

 

[starsky]

7, but 2 are retired and 2 are foals so only 3 that need riding and one of those if on box rest at the moment.

 

[Parkranger]

Just the one for me - and he's enough hard work!

Luckily got a few able girls on the yard without horses so I try and get someone else to ride him twice a week now to give him variation of rider....and give my butt a rest!

 

[riotgirl]

I have 2, but one is 34 and retired.

 

[pottamus]

I have one and ride him 6 days a week in summer and 5 in winter. I am a one horse person and like to put all my time and effort into one...I don't think he would appreciate my attention on another horse anyway! LOL!

 

[JAK]

We have 4 ponies but they are divided between the 3 girls!

Ride most days, except Friday evenings, whch is their busiest martial arts/gymnastics night of the week! (The girls that is, not the ponies! lol)

 

[Kelly1982]

I have one of my own but ride another (i do everything with her though so its like she is more or less mine i just dont pay for her he he).

To be honest i dont really get time to ride both of them everyday as i work full time up London so my mare takes priority and Ellie gets fitted in at weekends and when i get a bit of spare time. Wish i did have time to fuss over her and ride her more though but i dont

 

[sallyf]

At the last count 11, 2 stallions that are lunged and go in the field. 4 broodies who just slob about in the field, 3 foals and 2 yearlings all out in the field until sold.
So hopefully a few less this winter.

 

[susan_w]

I have a total of 3. Mars, who is my daughters grade b showjumper, Joey, who I've got to sell, but don't want to, boo hoo, and Rusty, who was Megs first pony, who we've now loaned to the riding school - bless him, he's about 23 now, and his muzzle is all grey (he's chestnut), but he has a real aversion to being stabled, so put him in a stable, and he's like a 2 year old!!

 

[sojeph]

I have 6 ATM. My 2 cobbies that are ridden as and when. Daughters pony ridden as and when. Kids old lead-rein pony (retired), midi shettie (pet) and rescue pony (temporarily homed!!)

 

[lillie07]

I have 3, my pony Chess is out on loan, I ride my Mare Megan 4 days a week and compete her 1/2 days a week and Bailey (is turned away at the mo) but normally ridden 5/6 times a week and I work full time!! And not forgetting Esme my old mare (I loaned her didnt own her but count her as mine) who is in foal.

 

[rrose]

i have 1 (brit) the welsh. but i ride 3 other horses for people as well.

 

[Tempi]

Bloss is enough expense for me!!!!!!

 

[burtie]
