- In my head I break down my horsey life into three distinct phases. Pre-season winter; where there's no competitions but I'm actively training the horses and focusing on fitness. In-Season; where we're training and competing, and then Off-season winter; Where I'm riding for fun occasionally but mainly just giving the horses a break.
I am firmly in our off-season phase, the horses shoes are off. I ride, maybe, once a week, maybe not at all. In this phase they are stabled at night (in pre-season they're stabled in the day) and out in the day and they take up about 1.5 - 3hrs of my time a day, which is basically the least amount of input they require year round.
I get to the yard just after 6am and turn them straight out in the field. We're still lucky enough to not need much haylage out in the field as there's still a fair amount of grass left but the mud is starting to turn up uninvited! I then muck out both stables, which are on a mix of equinola chopped straw and straw pellets. Then I prep the mash feeds for later and head on home to get ready for work.
I work 8-4 and have a 30minute commute to work. I then go straight to the yard from work, pull the beds down, fill the haynets, make the feeds and bring the ponies in. So pretty low maintenance really!
Your videos are always awesome. It’s so lovely to see how much you genuinely love and care for your horses.
You are super hardworking. You do a great job.
Thank you for sharing! I pick up tidbits as well, wish we had more hay options in the US.. Hope Tissy heals up quickly!!
Estrid should have been named tizzy 😊 That Arabian fire showing when she wanted out ..now !
Arabian fire - love it; so accurate!!!
She definitely should have 🤣😅x
Thanks for taking us along! I always pick up little tips to integrate in my own routine. I hope Tissy heals up soon. Just a little over a week until the winter equinox... then each day gets longer!
Thank you 😊 it'll be spring before we know it 🙌 x
Those dang abscesses can make a pony go 3 legged lame in an instant. Tissy only looked slightly lame for having any sort of abscess (and at her age as well)! Loved the vlog as usual, Beth. Best and warmest wishes throughout this winter!
She's a tough old cookie 😝 thank you, and you x
I bought that same headband light! I love it for going back to the barn when it’s dark. Frees up your hands! Poor Gracie! Does she have to stay in that barn all by herself all day? 😢
She goes out with another horse in the day so isn't always by herself x
