I used to ride about 3 times a week when I shared Ellie but since ending that I only ride once a week now. Once Bella is old enough to be back and going well I shall up it to about 3-4 times a week again
 
I usually ride six days a week - try and have a day off to keep hubby happy (non-horse day!). Just getting back into it after my six weeks off. Next seven days is going to be interesting as going away for a couple of nights - off to ride in a moment and then will ride on Monday when we get back; starting a new contract on Tuesday - have been working out timings so's can still ride every day! Will have to get up at half past five!

I'm a hacker
I ride as and when. Sometimes I don't ride for 3 weeks, sometimes I ride 3 times a week.
My horses live out 24/7 on a 5 acre slope so they keep themselves ticking over enough to carry me on a ride when I feel like it.

Damn summer rain - to hot to put a rug on - to wet to put tack on!! Argh!!
 
I work with horses and have my own so i ride 3 or 4 nearly every day! My pony needs alot of riding as we do endurance rides of up to and inclu 80 km. I also own half a section A who i am breaking in and i am breaking in a darty at work. There are also several others to exercise to. So i ride lots whatever the weather.

I am an endurance rider (up to and including 160km ERs). When training, I usually ride 4 or 5 times a week. I am a big believer in rest days after hard exercise and my pony is turned out 24/7 so walks off any stiffness.

She usually gets a day off for ever 10 miles completed in a competition and at least a fortnight for 160k.

I work with horses, so ride every day, my own horses always get the day off after an event.
The number I ride is low atm 2/3 but last year was upto about 10 a day

My girl gets worked about 3 times a week - try to do a hack, school & lunge alternately to keep her fit and trim and laminitis at bay - hoping to do some shows with her next year so will have to start doing a bit more. She is quite happy to do nothing and is no probelm to get back on after any length of time off!!

My boy gets worked about 5/6 days a week (bit of variation due to work) and has one lesson a week and then we try and alternate hacking and schooling/jumping to stop the duffus getting bored - but he needs to work or he gets naughty

!! Is quite happy to do nothing but his work ethic is quick to disappear!!

I am a competiton rider. Each horse has is an individual and therefore has a different training programme. Every horse is worked every day, but not necessarily ridden. Most of the horses are ridden 5/6 times a week. The other days are either lunging or just on the horse walker. After a competition, they don't usually have a day off, they just have an easy day, i.e. A little hack just walking round the tracks or on the horsewalker and then turned out for the day. I find this better than giving them the day off as it ensures they dont stiffen up.
 
Worked 5-7 days in any given week, but that might be in the school, on the Pessoa or just a tootle out.

I try and give her a month off every year, as she seems to do better with one long break rather than a day off here or there.
 
i need to get 5 or 6 out, including the neighbours horse
i ride as many as i can a day, sometimes some get led out from another horse
 
I don't have my own horse, but help look after 4 horses for their very busy owners! 2 are in work, on average I would say we try to ride 4 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less- we haven't ridden in 2 1/2 weeks because the weather has been so bad

"Those who mainly hack, with the odd competition/riding club activity etc"

3/4 times a week.
I compete every other Sunday, and go on a long hack on the Sunday I'm not competing, so pony has Monday off. Then hack probably twice a week and school/work hard once a week if the ground permits. Trot quite a bit on hacks to help keep pony fit

I am a hobby rider who attends some RC/shows.

I ride Ed 5 times a week at very least, because of his nature and his personality, he enjoys fast work and jumping, so I tend to do 1 day schooling, 2 days slow hack 2 days fast hack. On the 6th day I'll either be competing or jumping, unless I decide he has 2 days off a week.
 
I only used to ride once or twice a week with old share horse. Now with new one, i've already ridden 5 times this week

all been atleast an hours hack. Will probably be 4/5 times when i'm back at work and depending on when his owners wants to ride him.
 
I ride for 6 days a week upto 2 and half hours a day- i have 3 horses - 2 in full work and 1 semi retired. They all get a day off a week which is usually a Monday- when I have a lie in (well get to the yard at 6.15 rather than 5 and boy do i get told off).
I ride my first in a morning at 6am and lunge or long rein or free school the oldie at 6.45 ish. I have to be away from the yard by 7.20 and aim to get at least 1 bed mucked out and all my waters done - i also turn mine out and usually fed the yard of approx 30 horses. I will then hack out or ride the 2nd "full time" horse on the night. On a Sunday they all get hacked out, unless I am competing.

I miss going any longer than a day off riding but struggle in the winter as I hate it when the mornings are dark as it is soooooooo hard to get going when its cold, wet and dark and the warm bed is calling you
 
i try to ride taz at least 5 days out of the week he gets a sunday off and another day off so i can catch up on some things and spend time with friends etc lol
