Whats the maximum...

[brighthair]

amount of horses you could do in a day? Not including exercise, but feeding, rugging up, turning out, mucking out, nets, water, bringing in, feeding, and checking at night?
For the sake of this question you don't have to go to work, just do the horses!

*goes to carry on mucking out*

I could do 6 in a day, 8 at a push, and 10 if I had too. No more!

My insurance states any employee should not be in charge of more than 6 horses, so I guess that is the maximum you could do properly.

Riding wise, I could do 6, or 8 providing someone tacked up for me and I only rode for 45 mins each.

How long's a piece of string?

About 10, without grooming but picking feet out.
When I worked at a yard this is how many we had each to do.

......I could faff around with my one horse all day though!

I used to work on my old livery yard on a sunday to pay for my horses keep and sometimes i was doing 20, could have done a few more prob if you had all day ( i was riding mine and a couple of others and had a long break in the middle) That was to feed, change rugs and turn out, go round do all their boxes, hay and waters, evening feeds ready, sweep the yard and tidy. Bring all back in change rugs and feed.

It's not job related - just a thought. My YO is away, and doing what she does in a day I have decided she is insane!!

When I worked at a yard I had 20 to do, and it's definitely possible, but boring a hell!
