Whats the earliest you've turned your horse out in a morning?

I think it was about 4.45/5am on the way home from a night out as a one off ..

On a regular basis I have turned out at the 6am mark

Mine are out just after 6am during the week! At weekends when they have a lie in for a couple more hours they're really none too happy about it but I get up at 5:45am all week & I refuse to do it at weekends too!
 
usually round 6ish, but if i ride before work my alarm goes off at 5

but if I can hear wind n rain on my window the alarm gets reset & I (& pone) have an hour lie in!

Normally about 6:30 am. earliest probably been just before 6am. Only in winter months though as out 24/7 in the summer (or as soon as possible when we've had enough of mucking out for the winter!).

Glad i'm not on my own then. I was feeling a little guilty being at the farm so early, although i'm very quite and don't disturb the owners.

Between 5.30am - 6.20am, depending on how many times I hit the snooze button. I try to be quiet, but my OH insists I have an internal policy of "one up, all up" !!
 
Mine go out at 5.30am on weekdays so that I can get done and be in work for half eight.

I used to feel guilty when I had the old boy as he loved his bed and hated the winter weather, but now I've only got the youngster and the native I'm not so apologetic about it!
 
Earliest probably 7, once or twice when Frodo was at home, though he was normally out one hour later than that -- now they are turned out at 8 at the very earliest, more often at 9.

However a friend of mine gets up at 4 in summer solely to turn them out to avoid the heat

I turn mine out at 6.30am every day - I would say the earliest would of been 5.00am.

I tend to not get there any later than 8.00am at the weekend, horses are a long time in! Its not fair for them to wait until 10.00am to be fed and turned out.

I really would love to stay in bed until 10.00am! but I just can not lye in bed knowing my horse has not been fed and he wants to go out!
 
5.30am my lad is turned out! But normally he lives out 24/7 so I am hoping that will soon be the case for some of the year again...once we have a few more weeks/months past us on the laminitis 'all clear' that is.
 
6:15 / 6:30 am 7 days a week. Even if i wanted to lie in on a weekend my internal alarm clock gets me up and so I think if I am up they may as well go out

Also whoever is first on the yard sets one of mine off (she box walks) so its better thats its me so she can be fed and out

Mine go out at 5.45 every day, they come in about 4pm in the winter, stay out longer in the summer. I couldn't lay in bed if I tried !!!!

when my 5 horses were on livery and had to come in on a night, i would be up at the yard daily at 4.15, they would be out between 4.30/4.45.

now, they live out and ive changed jobs, works better for all of us involved - the lie in is lovely however ive got used to it now so need a new lie in lol
