Not pooped in 7 hours

[Horsegirl25]

Can someone calm my nerves lol.
My mare goes out at night in through the day normally has around 2-3 droppings while in for around 10 hours.
Today we went to a show early left about quarter to 8, did a poop when she went in the box, again at the show and again when she went in the box to go home at 9:45 ish got home about 10:30 and came down at 5 and no poops in her stable.
I am paranoid anyway about the horses so this has stressed me out lol! She doesn’t eat a lot when she’s in and tends to lie down and sleep most of the day so I think that may be the reason! Normal gut sounds and she ate her dinner and banged the door to go to the field (usual) and she’s out now grazing no rolling etc.
Does this sound normal? I googled it (bad I know) and some people have over 24 hours no droppings, so does 7 seem ok? Ahhhhhh horses

She’s not really behind is she ?
She got in front because of the excitement of travelling and being at the show .
But you are right to watch her .
What did she get to eat when she got home ?

Only about 1kg if that but again completely normal - drinking and peeing normally too
I think I am just being very over cautious, but would hate to not be and for something more serious be going on.

If she is eating and drinking normally, I wouldn't worry too much, just keep an eye on her.

Thank you! They know how to make us worry!

I think going to a show makes them empty if you know what I mean, just keep an eye on her but it's probably just nerves poo emptied her out.

Thank you I think that may be the case then when she’s came home she’s not eaten much (normal for her), think she has been snoozing so I suppose she won’t really have anything to poop?

I would give her a very sloppy feed at the show then at home.

But yes they do tend to empty out.

I rang vet re similar a number of years ago, with no other symptoms they said wait 12 hours and call back after that. He did poo before 12 hours, and was normal.
