What is your daily/weekly routine for your horse?

Well my routine is pretty much the same all the time. First I get up at 7 am in the morning, I go down to the barn to feed my horse his feed. Next if its summer I then put his fly mask on, and fly spray. If its winter I take off his blanket then I turn him out to the pasture. I then muck out his stall, then I put hay in his hay rack for later when I turn him in his pen at night. Then I feed my other animals, like the cows and the cats. Later on in the day I catch him from the pasture and then I groom him, and I pick out his feet. If it is a good day I then ride him for a hour or so. I usually ride him at least three times a week or more. Then at night I feed the cows their feed for the night. If its winter and below zero then I put his blanket on for the night. Thats usually my routine for my horse. Its simple but I only have one so its not that bad of a job to do. And since now I just graduated from high school now I can see him more and ride him more. I of course in the mornings and later on like 5 pm at night I go to work at the vets. Their we have about 20 horses their. Their routine is just they get fed their feed in the mornings and at wintertimes I have to toss out hay to them. Otherwise they never get rode at all, and they are never groomed. Of course if they were mine I would have less horses and I would be grooming them everyday and I would be riding them often.

well, mine go out by 6.30am monday to friday, weekends slightly later!! and are brought in about 5pm to be ridden and fed. they both stay in overnight due to one having had laminitis and neither will be parted from the other so they both live in at nights :) weekends vary, more often than not i try to ride twice a day and go for longer hacks than during the week.
