Hopefully, I'm going to have a few days away with the OH in the beginning of September. So excited as we don't get away much that I'm forward planning already!!!!
I'm going to make up 'pony ready meals' in advance so that all my helper will have to do is remember to soak the bucket contents and add the supplements. P's feed will be easy peasy, his are very simple. H's however, are not so simple (to the non-horsey helper) and he will need to have a small pot with each ready meal containing all the supplements for each feed. One of his extras is turmeric. Obviously he needs his freshly ground pepper and oil as well, so I was wondering if it would be OK to make up a small pot containing the three ingredients ahead of time? We will be away for 5 feeds worth of supplements, so would need to make this up the day before we leave. What do you think?
If I don't do this, chances are he won't get his turmeric, pepper and oil, or not correctly anyway as good though my helper is, he can get forgetful and I would prefer H to still be getting something approaching the correct ingredients rather than one or even all of them being missed.
Also, I am aware that this sounds a little like I don't trust my helper, and tbh - you're right - it's my father and he's getting on a bit - if he starts feeling stressed that's when he forgets stuff - hence the 'ready meal' idea to make it easier for him.
