Im concerned that Ive gone mad. My idea on turnout seems to be at odds with many people I know and I dont understand. I like my horse to go out, eat grass and generally mooch about doing horse things. Ideally with company in the same field, ok if in adjacent field. Liveries at last yard and new yard keep their horses in if it rains, before a show, if its hot, on a Sunday... so their horses are cooped up in a 12x12 stables for 24plus hours at a time. They think turning out for a couple of hours is fine, then bring them in. Im in Surrey/Sussex but I am at a yard that has enough turnout for the number of horses. Mine, understandably doesnt like being left out in the field on his own so has to come in too when everyone else comes in. Its doing my head in. If I say I want him out more they look at me like I have two heads. Its not only a couple of people, it seems to be all 5 or so liveries at the new yard and was most people at the old yard (although again a small yard with very few people) Am I the weird one??
