Okay i guess im just nosey (can ya blaime me?). I was wondering what ya'lls schedule was. Here is mine.
**Mini's and Big horses if you wish**
MORNING:
1) MINIS:I turn the Mini's our around 7am every morning M-F. Weekends they get out a little later around 9am because i sleep in.
-They get 2 blocks of Hay in the Hay Feeder for them all to nibble on from time to time. Pasture are not to good. I Fill there water troph up to (i usually clean it the night before w/ the water buckets). I need to get a new one to ..*note to self*.
-Sometimes if its rainy out of something i give them 1 scoop of grain and tell someone to put them out when i clears up.
2) HORSES. All get 1 block of Hay, 1/2 Block of Oat hay mixed with it. And 1 scoop of Grain, 1 scoop of Nutra feed mixed together. Water also at this time. After they Gobble that down which takes the time i takes me to get ready for school i usually put them out to there own pasture (Not w/ the mini's ..down worry). Our yearling Arabian doesnt go out w/ the other horses though. I turn him loose by himself after i come home and i stay out w/ him. (were going to get elective fences for that pasture soon hopefully).
NIGHT:
1) MINIS: I bring them in from the pasture around 3pm right after i get home. They go to there stalls and usually watch the chickens and cats play. I check them out really quick and make sure there Fine. Then i usually Clean there stalls out (around 4pm)after i do the Big horses(around 3:30) and put down a nice new layer of bedding. I then Lung the mini's each for about 5 or 10 minutes since they run just about all day. Joey and Rocky do pretty good, coco i dont even try to anymore bc i now understand that coco is more of a lounger, then a lunger. So they get there exersize. Then they are fed 1/2 scoop of Grain mized w/ nutra feed 1/2 scoop. Then around 7pm when it has cooled off we go for a nice walk and do some basic training. *i usually dont do any 'serious' training unless its about a month or two before the fair. From time to time we do some good training sessions (about once a week). Of course im training Rocky for Harness so that takes up some time to + Joey im starting tommarow in Harness training w/ David helping me. He got Rocky started w/ me and now i've taken over. He will prob work about 5 days w/ me and joey and then let us go.
-I usually clean out hooves every other day
-Brush everyother day
2) HORSES: When i get home i put them up and check them out. Turn Sammy loose for a while and watch him run and pick grass for about a 1/2 hour or 45 minutes while i clean out the big horse stalls. Then i usually play w/ him (since he is a little baby ..lol playful thing). Put him up in his stall. Then i exersize them for a while (lunging usually unless i feel like taking a nice run around the fence a couple times w/ them). Then i let them hang out for a while while i go do some stuff. Then they are fed and then walked. Same as the mini's. exept 1 scoop of Grain, 1 scoop of nutra feed/sweetfeed mixed together. Sammy gets a bit more since he is growing. and Sammy also gets 1 block of Oat Hay as well. (since he wasnt out picking grass all day).
So far they are all healthy and hard and Happy. The 3 things good horses should be!!. So its working. This changes sometimes. In the winter they will probaly change a bit w/ the feeding. But its good so far.
