So you will be doing all the work before school hey?

Just things like,

Fill your haynets as your buckets are filling.

Never walk anywhere without something in your hand (You'll be amazed what a difference that makes!)

Deep litter through the week and dig at weekends

In the winter maybe use turnout rugs as stable rugs too (Although I prefer to adjust rugs each time anyway,, but some people don't)

Make up breakfasts the night before

You will soon be in a routine. I used to do 3 horses in an hour before work and they never went uncared for.

Good luck, You'll enjoy it!

Plan trips to and from the tack room, what needs to go back when you pick something up?

I don't use haynets so I don't waste time filling them.

I spray legs (only legs!!) with coat shine in winter to help stop the mud sticking.

Keep things to hand, my everyday dandy brush lives on a shelf inside my stable. Headcollars on hooks outside doors.

OK Thanks we have to use haynets a yard rule for some reason... our are used to eating off the floor

ANY loading tips appreciated!

Have yard only clothes, a boiler suit can really help as you just throw it on over the top & you dont waste time changing.

Choose bedding carefully as having the right one can mean it's loads quicker, deep litter helps too.

I do as much in the evening as I generally have more time, leaving fewer things to make me late in the morning.
