Ride 5,lunge/free school/ inhand work once a week unless weather means ground conditions are too poor/ unsafe to ride.

I ride as often as i can get mine to the indoor at the mo (need a driver as have no HGV license) and then when the ground is good enough hack them aswell, they tend to work 5-6 days a week. :)
 
I exercise him most days, sometimes has saturday off as that's my busiest day work wise, but i do try and make sure he does something whether it be 5 minutes on the lunge or a 3 hour hack most days.
 
I only ride once a week if I am lucky. Being a full time mum with youngest only at school in the morning I only have the opportunity once or twice a week amongst everything else and if its raining on the day I have allocated to ride then I dont. No school / arena makes it harder.

I dont mind really as I get a lot of satisfaction from just looking after them and I probably wouldnt ride everyday even if I had the chance. I enjoy hacking and a bit of schooling and lessons and the odd dressage / clinic now and again and my mare seems happy with that too.
 
I ride more in winter than summer as we have restricted turnout, so in winter i ride everyday where as summer i ride every other day.
 
Would you or do you ?

I'd ride every day if I had lights and time but as I have niether just at the weekends :-(

.... there is light at the end of the tunnel though, I will have time to lunge tonight bofore we are plunged into frosty darkness!
 
It's weather dependant really. Ideally I hunt/mock hunt so need to keep them fit, however if it's cancelled due to weather then I don't. Plus I can't hack out due to the really steep hills in the area, and our manege freezes.
 
I ride almost every day in the winter snow, as I have a chunky coblet so it's ok. :) although I felt sorry for him so I rode bareback with his rug still on :p
