This time of year, between me and my mother, twice a day, as they are fed that often.

But YO is onsite and always wandering around the yard at odd hours and checks on them frequently - he comes and tells me that Be was asleep at 4am so flat out that he had to go clap his hands at her to check she wasn't dead!

I'm really jealous that most others on here have theirs at the bottom of the garden! I go once a day and then my RI/YM feeds her once for me and if i cant get down late pm my friend at the yard does her for me,team work is what we do down at our yard!
 
I am hoping the time will come one day when I am like the lucky few of you that can look out of their window and check their horses. Just need to persuade the OH that it really would be a good idea and he would probably see more of me......yeah right!!!!

Twice a day is the norm for us

Once in the morning to turn her out, then again in the afternoon/early evening to bring in, muck out, ride etc.
 
I keep them at home, so when I am not at work they get checked at 7am, 12pm, 4pm and 10pm as a minimum. If I'm at work, my mum checks them during the day.

However, when I am at home I spend most of my time with them anyway!
 
Hubby checks on them about 5.30am when he goes milking.

I turn out about 9am, the ones not being ridden. Usually hay Patches then as I have a coffee before I go riding.

Ride about 10am. Turn her out on return which is usually about 12 -1pm at the moment. I see the other three then, and make sure their rugs are ok and they all have water etc.

Muck them all out. Bring them in at 4.30, before it gets too dark to find my way back from the fields.

I go out to them at 8pm to remove Patches leg wraps. I check they've all pooped as normal and have haylage.

Duncan does the final check around 11pm - midnight. He will hay any that don't look as though they have enough haylage to go overnight.
 
I am fortunate enought to have them at home so I do yard chores twice a day but am constantly looking at them from the house or wandering out to the paddock in between.
I tend to go and look in on them last thing at night too.
 
Morning and afternoon for me so twice a day in winter months and less so in summer, unless riding or I can persuade other half to drive me down to have a look as I don't always fancy a long walk there and back.
 
I don't check him at all. Pretty impossible for me to check him right now.
But the fields are in veiw of the house, so my mum and brother can see him, my dad sees his at least once a day when he goes to check the cows and my aunt checks him quite a lot aswell.
 
Everytime I look out of the window or leave the house.

I can't not see them, it's great, I know exactly what they all tend to do and when, if anything is amiss I know immediately. They have a habit of yelling for me if something isn't right anyway, no water, no hay, late for feeding, someone has escaped........right lot of tattle tales I have.

They watch me as much as I watch them

I put once a day because that is how often i do it personally (except 1 day a week when I can't because of work), but as he's on full livery he actually gets checked more often than that.
 
I check them/see to them morning and night, and mum goes over mid morning. So 3 times really.

And we can also see them in the field from our bedroom windows so they get checked out the window by my mum at least 10 times a day!
