I know if you work you may have to turn out earlier than you would like, but what time do you or would you like to turn out? I know sometimes I used to have to turn out at 6.30am depending what shift I was on. Of course it depends on what time they are coming back in again.

I turn out at 7.30 all winter and bring in at 5.30 ish now, it gets later as the night get shorter, until we go to being out 24/7 (If my old boy can be left out again this year

)
 
Depends which field they go into - if its down the lane I get my daughter to help me before school so about 7am but if it's just at the yard then about 8ish. Get them in about 5.30 -6pm.
 
about 8.30 if i ride, and first light if there having a day off etc, they come in at 1pm in the winter and then in the summer they go out as late as possible in the evening and in at 6.00am as i have a grey (white) and he burns!
 
5:45am if im on an early or 12 hour shift. 8am 'ish' if i start at 11am.

Bed time depends, half fivish to 6pm unless weather foul and im off when they come in any time after 3pm. However four nights a week Im dependednt on another livery to bring him in, so its when she finishes work and gets to yard at about 6pm.
 
My guys go out at about 7am ish (depending on what time I actually get up...), and then they come in usually around 4.30 / 5pm. Bring in time is changeable though - if its a nice evening and they aren't fussed about coming in then they stay out longer. If it is raining and horrid and they are asking to, they will come in earlier. Although I work full time, mum is at home most of the time, so if they are looking miserable she will bring them in.

But I am very lucky to have a very helpful and kind mum!!!
 
6.30 pm during the week, 5pm at weekends as they stay out at night all year round. They come in between 10 and 10.30am. They get far more turnout which has got to be better for them, it fits in with my lifestyle and means they don't lose turnout time when I ride.

through the week, mine are out by 7.40 and come in at 4ish.
at weekends, they are out by 8.15 and come in at 4ish. (i get half an hour extra in bed at weekends)
 
Riding aside they're out from 8.30am till about 6.30pm usually. In the summer (from about April till the end of September they're out 24/7.
 
I like mine to be out as much as poss due to recent COPD diagnosis on my mare.. so out at 6am, in about 10 or 11pm! Mine trash the beds too if i leave them in later than 6am so it makes for an easier life too
 
out at 7 ish am and in at 6ish pm depending on what im doing that day,but i live here so it doesnt matter to me how early i get up as only have to walk out the door and im in the yard lol !!!

The boys go out at 6am in the winter and it depends on the light (and the weather - they queue at the gate early when it's freezing cold and rainy) but come in atm about 5pm.

Hopefully by March/April they'll be out 24/7 for a few months then Dom will come in during the day until the late summer to help keep his waistline in check.

The old boy stays out to encourage his to spread!! Hopefully then they're out 24/7 until December-ish - weather and grass depending.

The girls (mare and 8 month old foal) are out 24/7 all year.
 
If i'm working at the office they get thrown out at 6am, then i'll come home at lunch ride two and then they either go out again or stay in. They come in at 3pm ready for me to ride 3or 4 others before i go to bed!
If im working at home, 4 go out at 7am 3 get ridden first thing etc. same when OH isn't working.
