Winter turnout - every other day?

[indie1282]

If you are bringing in at 9am some days then I actually think you'd be better off doing that everyday. He is going to get into the routine of being in at 9am and probably be more of a pain more commonly if he is left out later some days. What's the difference to YO in bringing him in every other day? Surely if she doesn't get on with him that's an everday thing!?

WB or not, he should do as asked. Mine are taught to walk out too but if I ask them to slow down for whatever reason, I expect them to do so. I used to dread turning out/catching in some of the bigger horses on the yard I used to work at. Owners said "he's a warmblood, that's just how they are", no its a horse and it needs manners.

As I said earlier....my father will bring him in...Not the yard owner.

Also I never said he's a warmblood that's just how they are, I said he walks out properly, which she thinks is pulling/walking off as she expects everything to drag along behind like hers. Horses are not machines and he although 99% he has great manners if something wound him up in the field that day it's not something that anybody can forsee is it.

Also my post was about turnout time - Not how to handle/lead my horses - which has been answered by some lovely sensible people on here already! 😃
