Ok, so my share horse has had laminitis in the past so he cannot go out for too long. He is turned out about 7-8 in the morning and brought back in and put onto hard standing with haynet about 12-1 oclock, i get down the yard about 2.30, have everything done by about 3.15, tack him up ride, finish about 4-4.30 and then give him a good groom etc and i normally put him to bed about 5-5.30. However, sometimes i feel really guilty as some horses will still be being ridden, brushed etc and the other day was sitting having a cup of tea in coffee room (about 5.15) and a couple of people were like 'OMG I can't believe i've finished already, poor so and so being put to bed so early, i'm NEVER normally done by this time, gosh.' I was like
cos obviously G's normally put in around 5.-5.30.
Do people think this is too early?! I would happily leave him out til about 5, get him in, ride him etc so he's not being put to bed until sort of 7ish but he can't go out for more than about 5 hours so obviously unless he's not getting put out until lunchtime he has to come in early. Once he's in early and on the hardstanding it's like what do you do with him?! Once ive mucked out, done haynets, water etc i just want to get on with riding him and then putting him to bed etc.
Anyway, a really stupid post but as i said, some other horses are only just being ridden at 5-5.30 so i just feel a bit bad sometimes
