Somebody take my horse away from me!!!

[conniegirl]

ponies still get shoes caught on chicken wire though. Ive got one pony who delights in going up to fences and deliberately pulls his shoes off on it.

wooo got 10 out of 10.... Seemed like more of a common sense quiz to me!

 

[Eaglestone]

Whoops 8 out of 10 as of cause got the first one wrong ... it takes me 2 hours a day do faff around wth 2 horses so I reckoned 1 hour for 1 ... wrong!

and I read the question on fencing wrong and answered it 'post and rail' as I thought it said 'which is the best fencing ...' I am tired tho

 

[the watcher]

9/10 - I can't do it all in 30 minutes.

Don't need to call the ILPH just yet

 

[Box_Of_Frogs]

Got 9/10 but like many others,I don't agree that half an hour a day is long ebough to look after a horse. Just winter mucking out takes over half an hour, then grooming, exercise etc takes it much higher.

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

i got 9 too.

first question - the answer is just plain stupid!!

 

[LizGooch1]

Almost ready for horse ownership

How did i get by these last twenty years?!

 

[BeckyD]

30 minutes to care for a horse a day?! Takes me 30 mins just to groom, let alone m/o, t/o, b/i, feed etc etc!!!

 

[PaddyMonty]

8/10. Much prefer a single strand high tensile wire to wire mesh if I had to use wire at all (which I wouldn't)

Good job i dont own a horse.

 

[Magicmillbrook]

I got the time and fencing wrong - after having my mare get her foot stuck in mesh I hate the stuff!

Even on the quickest days it takes an hour, 30, mins morn and evening.

 

[at work]

Silly lot - read her 'basic of horse care' - she says horses don't like stables and never mentions riding, so I guess it's 30 mins to check horse is OK, replenish water and maybe feed - she evidently doesn't reckon you'll ever need to muck out, groom or actually ride

I got the chicken wire one wrong too

 

[Gorgeous George]

I got 8/10 too! I got the first one wrong because I also put 2hrs, and I got the wire one wrong - I was looking for evil barbed wire!

 

[pnap]

30 mins - does anyone only take 30mins a day to do their horse? I would say that taking care of it includes exercising so that should surely put it above 30mins (though I appreciate not everyone will ride/lunge everyday)

 

[RobinHood]

If I don't ride then I'm not at the yard any longer than 30mins. It takes 10mins to muck out and empty barrow, 5 mins to do hay feeds and water and get clean straw, and then 10mins to get pony from field, pick feet out and spray with thrush spray and put him in the stable. At the weekend I spend much longer grooming and faffing about, probably about 90mins plus riding time.

 

[DiablosGold]

8/10...'Almost ready'

Lol!

 

[simsav]

I got the 1st one wrong - no way I can get everything done in 30mins!!

 

[Daisy11]

i went wrong on that but got all the others right this means we give our horses more time and love them lots

 

[asbo]

9/10, takes me longer than 30 mins a day, wish it was only that

 

[minkymoo]

9/10! Though can someone please tell me how on earth it takes 30 mins to muck out (well) do hay, feed, water, bring in, groom and put to bed? Am I missing something here?!

 

[kerilli]

8 out of 10, oh dear. apparently my enormous stables aren't good enough for a horse, it should be in 12x12 instead.
and i can't look after one in 30 mins a day, not if i get to ride it as well.
what a load of absolute bunkum. whoever wrote that should be ashamed of themselves. prob an r.s.p.c.a. inspector...

 

[Lady_Bug]

You answered 9 items out of 10 correctly.

Your score is 90%. Congratulations! Isn't that the trailer coming with your new horse?

30 minutes a day to care for your horse on DIY? Must be joking
