I have been thinking about this for a while and it was something that my dad mentioned a few months ago which was pretty much Sox takes up a lot of my time. Which I know he does. I like caring for him; doing the day to day things etc. However I see where my dad is coming from. Its a bit up in the air but their is a guy on the scene who totally gets that sox is my ...hobby/ lifestyle etc.
And as much as I love that horse to bits and I love looking after him ( currently not in work) I almost think I do spend a lot of time at the yard, but at the same time I don't like rushing around. I guess I would need to be organised. But its like when I am on shifts I am at the yard at.. half 5 in the morning, do my shift and go back to see sox at 8pm. Not getting home til 9pm. It is long day and I totally get he is my choice. One of the girls at the yard, who I have previously had disagreements said that I can do the mornings and she would do the evenings. I turn out/ feed she brings in etc. However sox is barefoot and wears boots for turnout and due to his immune disease he wear boots on his legs to and I woudn't expect the girl on the night to take all of his boots off really, also his legs swell if he is in so I have been putting bandages on on a night which help but again I would expect her to do this.... I cant really do the evenings and she cant really do mornings.. Also the yard isn't.. like a 2 mins walk away its a 15 mins drive/14 miles to do one round trip...
Guess I am just ranting slightly...
