Is anyone else fit to drop? It is quarter to 7 and I'm in bed. Got home at 6 did the horses and climbed straight in. The bags under my eyes are beginning to closely resemble a designer luggage set, I look and feel like shite. Every year I forget how awful this time of year is, getting up and mucking out in the dark, getting home in the dark, only getting to ride at the weekend, everything is wet and filthy. Please tell me I a not alone or suffering from SAD!

No - not alone. I have to go out to a do tonight when I really would like to be under my duvet too... and to cap it all my boy headbutted me tonight, my tooth has gone into my bottom lip so I look a bit like a boxer (husband says tell them he did it....) so won't particularly be able to eat my curry...never mind, less than one month and the days will start getting longer......roll on.... sigh
 
Yes am absolutely shattered, haven't done anything all day apart from go to the dentist and sort out Ebony this afternoon. Not sleeping well at the moment though as I'm poorly sick!!

I think the dark evenings really coming in fast make everyone a little more tired than usual, takes a bit of adjusting to. Roll on spring

Yes I hate this time of year, up and out in the cold at 6am every day to muck and turn out, then have to do it all again at 5pm.
Roll on the long summer days..
 
Definately not alone! Life is just blah - and I don't even have to do the horses if I don't want to! Nor do I have to be in an office everyday, though I do hae to go miles and miles for meetings at some point every week. Despite the easiness of my life, I feel cra&! Four weeks 'till Christmas. Don't know if Ma will make it. Don't know if hormones will cope. Life does get better (holding onto that thought!!!). Think need a good pint of happiness.
 
Me too, - although mine is all of my own making, I get carried away and end up having loads of late nights. I am sorting it out from tonight though as I have the farrier coming tomorrow very early so no laying in bed until 8.30 for me. Watching Hollyoaks later then bed by 10.30.
 
My dear, you are definitely not alone. I still wonder why I have got horses after all thease years. I get up at 5.45am. Attend to my horses in the dark and get stuck in the mud in the gateway. I go to work all day. Finish and go and get my horses in. Get stuck in the mud in the gateway. Horses covered in mud. Brush off the dry mud and get covered in the dirt cloud that the brushing creates!

Get home, put clothes in the washing machine ( Am lucky to get away with wearing a pair of trousers twice at the moment) Eat, do some housework and go to bed at 10pm at the latest.

Ride at the weekends if the weather is not chucking it down and dream of the warm sunny days of spring....................only 5 months away.

Yes I feel permanently tired but I would be lost without my horses.
 
Ah, thanks guys that makes me feel better at least I'm not the only person crying into my porridge in the morning! Hiphopcob didn't know the shortest day was less than a month away doesn't sound so bad when you put it like that.
 
My horse lives out 24/7 so all I have to do is make up feeds and hay etc and generally check on mine and Im still tired! Just the getting up early/being there late and the journeys to the yard get a bit tiresome in the winter I think. In the summer when its warm and you arent getting soaked and freezing it seems a bit more worth it

Oh join the club, trying to get the kids in the bath then to bed then get on with the work I should have finished yesterday and was supposed to be handed in today, prob be working till after midnight tonight, shouldn't be on here at all!! Anyone good at designing brochures, want to do mine for me??!!!! Getting fed up of just chucking my horse in the stable each night and not doing much with him. feel totally knackered!

Got Friday to look forward to as it's the yard Xmas meal, so for once don't have to cook and get to dress up and go out!! It's always funny when we go out as no one recognises anyone as we all have clean hair and nice clothes on and don't stink of horse!
 
Shattered!! I fed the horses this afternoon, i just opened the gate and let them charge through, i couldnt be bothered with faffing in the bl@@dy mud!! Which horses went in the stables got the doors shut and the others caught and tied up! I gave them feeds and started to takl the bales of hay out to the main field aka mud bath, I ended up getting one bale out and got as far as halfway accross the paddock and ended up sat on the bale sobbing!!.. i chucked hay out kicked the horses out and drove home and sobbed all the way!! I think im hormonal

Soooo tired. I pay for my horse to be mucked out, brought in for me, but still shattered as get up at six, work him, sort out rugs, scrape mud off, do tea, haynets, wade through the mud in field, get home, sort stuff for work, get to work, get home goodness knows when, eat, bed by nine or can't cope!
 
Very tired. Had a stupidly long day yesterday. Got to yard 5am to to get horse in horse box and away by 6. Drove 3 hrs to Edinburgh vet school. Spend all day there with my horse. Then the horsebox broke down. Had to get recovery to come and take lorry home and horse box to pick me and the horse home. Finally got back after mid night. Back up and down the yard for 6 this morning. Remind me again when we have them?!!
 
I think it's especially bad this year. I usually think that summer is payback time for all the miserable weather and hard work of winter, but this summer was such a wash out I don't seem to have had time to really enjoy my horse/garden etc. Also, everything is even more expensive than usual, so just seem to keep forking out vast amounts of money with only chapped hands, filthy clothes and grubby horse to show for it!
 
I'm lucky in that I can usually rearrange my work schedule to let me take my boy out in daylight, and he's only on grass livery so not much extra work...but still really tired just from the constant darkness! And yesterday's fall doesn't help...ow, very sore hip!
