Those with neddies out 24/7

I go up to the stables once a day after i have finished work, sometimes go twice on weekends. There is plenty of people at stables and lady turns him out in the morning and brings him back in for me before i get home from work so she keeps a eye on him for me.
 
When Maiden was kept 15-20 mins away from home I'd check her once a day, but she would be passed in the field by the others at the yard so I didn't worry too much. We did have a couple of incidents but they were picked up on quickly.
Now she's 5 mins walk away, I go twice a day (well, share with other owner). Partly because I need to poo pick the field that often, and partly because I need to check her legs twice a day to pick up on any abnormalities as quickly as possible. Plus I like visiting now I can!

Usually twice, sometimes just the once but I have the benefit of being on a big yard and people are in and out of the field all the time and would spot if there was something seriously wrong.
 
Once a day. The person who looks after the other horse also looks at the once a day and everyone who lives in the fields surrounding the field has my phone number. if ever i couldnt check him I know I'd be contacted if there was anything wrong.
 
Well I live here right next to all of the horses and they are checked, probably about 50 times a day as I am always outside doing things.
 
I give her a quick dust off once a day, the other two liveries are up daily and the YO is around all evening so on a good day Brandy probably gets checked about a dozen times and on a quiet day about four or five. A huge benefit of her yard is that we can leave a note if we need to miss a few days or a week for any reason and everyone else will look after each other's horses.
 
Once daily minimum, more often if we are driving or concerned etc. However, we do have people onsite who watch them all the time and call if they are worried about anything, no matter how minor.
 
She is checked twice a day, every day at least. I go down there morning and night, another livery gets up there about 30 mins after I leave and another just as he is leaving. We all keep an eye on each others horses, check each others waters and if it was peeing down in the morning but the sun has not come out then we always check/take off/put on rugs if needed.

There is always someone to feed and check for you if your going out or something

Either once or twice, if it's only once I ask someone else to check them at the other end of the day. There's a couple of people on the yard I'm at that think once or twice a week is good enough

I do mine twice a day - before work they're all fed etc., after work some are ridden and then fed again. But then my parents are at home a lot of the time so mum checks on them regularily :P
