I had forgotten that altogether.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-83798693078420936822009-06-16T11:18:51.194-05:002009-06-16T11:18:51.194-05:00I have the same problem trying to fit in a ride be...I have the same problem trying to fit in a ride before I start work. I'm up early, walk the dogs, then feed the horses, then inside to feed the cats and dogs. At that point, this time of year, I should just go out and ride, but I usually feel the need for that morning cup of tea and a little bite to eat and by the time I'm done, I'm usually knee deep in work.AnnLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302520885355984852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-25588633937487594212009-06-15T16:03:07.264-05:002009-06-15T16:03:07.264-05:00Arlene, your routine sounds good too.

Mine mostly enjoy the work but not when I make them do it before breakfast! :) <br /><br />With my feeding schedule though, I'd have to get out there even earlier if I wanted to feed then ride. (but we feed tubs later than most - they get hay early but the grain/feed comes later)<br /><br />And again - YAY!! - about you riding again! I bet that felt good to type after your recuperation period after the knee surgery!billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-41586930189754348382009-06-15T15:49:07.098-05:002009-06-15T15:49:07.098-05:00I think you're on to something there.

I used to feel bad for them but then realized, Dusty can give me a half an hour of her time in the morning and have the rest of the day to graze and laze. I don't feel I'm asking too much of them, if this is a partnership it's slightly lopsided. I get to do all the work and they get to play all day. I'm not complaining but they are learning neither should they.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.com
