We're now bringing ours in at 4pm ish (going out between 7-8.30am), they're funny though as tonight the oldie was marching up and down the fence screaming that she was being neglected cause she was starving :rolleyes:
 
Normally about 5pm ish. They go out at about 8am at the moment, but when I'm not crippled and off work they go out at 5.30am and come in at 5.30pm, whatever the weather! (That's not true, Brown Horse makes it quite clear on the days he wants to stay in if it's raining!)
 
In the week my TB doesn't come in until about 9pm as I work till late, during the weekends he comes in earlier, usually about 5/5:30ish. He goes out most days at about 9am.

If the weather is really awful I would probably leave him in for most of the day but so far I haven't needed to do that yet.
 
Mine have come in the past couple of days between 4 and 4:30 as its been blowing a gale and raining all day. On a nice day they are out till 5 - 5:30
 
Mine go out around 8am and Whisk starts to get pushy around 12!! I try to leave him til 1 by which time he almost kills himself getting to me. If he could put his own headcollar on he would. :D Then because he has come in Sophie has decided she cannot possibly be left out on her own and so she comes in also.
To be fair there is absolutely nothing in the grass although I am lucky in that I still have plenty of it.
 
Usually at about 4:50/5:00 (turned out at about 8)

However due to all the rain my fields are waterlogged and we have strong gales so they're having to stop in 24/7 :(
 
Mine go out at 6am during the week and come in between 3pm and 6pm depending on what time I finish work and whether I am riding! At the weekends we ride in the morning so try and leave them out until at least 5pm. We are lucky as we still have loads of grass and the field isn't too muddy!
 
ours are going out around 7.30 and in by 12, 5 days a week. Hopefully this way we might have some grass for the spring and not bald patches of dirt!
 
atm ours are out by 7.15 during the week (8.30 on a weekend) and in between 5-5.30, but tbh we are having to practically drag them in off the grass as we still have plenty :p Im sure they would happily stay out 24/7, but if they were left on the grass for that long they would be seriously overweight!
 
During the week if being ridden at 3pm, if day off at 5pm. Hay is put out during the day (amounts according to how long they are going to be out), so they are not screaming with hunger in the afternoon! They tend not to be waiting at the gate, and we often have to go and collect my daughter's horse from the other end of the field!

Ours go out at 6am Mon-Wed (me and my sister do them those mornings) and come in at about 6pm or thereabouts. Thurs & Fri they will go out between 8:30 and 9am and in again about 6pm. On the weekend they will be out sometimes before 9am and we are bringing them in later now it's getting lighter so they'll come in between 5pm and 5:30pm. There are only two of them that come in, the other 3 are out 24/7. They will all be out come March and then in April will be chucked in the other 6 acres that's been resting since Jan (although they've not really been in it as they're lazy and just hang around the nearer field! lol) and will stay there a couple of months.
 
my lad goes out about 8am comes in about 5:30 during the week and between 8-9am and in between 3-5pm at the weekend. though he doesn't seem to want to be in or out at the moment :(
 
Mine goes out after exersize at about 11ish then comes back in at around 5pm. As the days get longer they are gradually staying a bit later each week but the grass has now near enough gone so my boy is hungry and a bit grumpy when he comes in. I can't wait till the grass in our summer fields starts growing, then they can all move down there and start living out! Only another couple of months (hopefully!) x
 
My main man goes out 7.30am and in at 4.30 if I am working or lunchtime out if not working cos I will be riding him in the morning. My 2 seniors are both out 24/7!
Though this weekend been bringing him in a bit earlier due to these high winds...thought it would be better to walk him in before he gets too hungry and narky (if thats a word LOL - but I am sure you get my drift LOL)
 
If not being ridden, turned out about 9.30am and then back in about 3pm. Field is a bog with no grass at the moment so they all gather at the gateway as get bored and hungry and mess about. Just wish we had a drier better drained winter field where they could be out for longer now it's getting lighter in the late afternoon.
 
Ours go out about 6.30am and come in at 4pm, they would love to come in at lunchtime though as they have had enough by then tbh! We try to bring them in at the same time weekends as they are used to that time but they do go out later in the morning - they get more hay over night Friday and Saturday so are quite happy.
