Morning feed time..

Here's a look into my daily chores. Which will vary with how many horses you have if they have stalls or pasture etc.
I wake up and rustle the kids out of bed. We go out to feed anywhere from 10-15 horses depending on our training schedule. All our feed and clients feed is in bins and metal trash cans to keep the rodents out. We measure out the correct amount of feed adding supplements to the horses who need them. We walk the feed out to them individually. Checking every horses water trough as we go. Which we will fill and rinse out as needed. We get round bales of coastal hay delivered so we pull off arm fulls of hay for the horses in stalls. We also have round bales out in pasture during turn out. We also feed alfalfa square bales to our horses and any other clients horses as requested.We have to supplement hay since we do not have nice lush pasture..hopefully by next year we will begin some planting! Feed time is a good time to check on the horses. Making sure everyone looks as they did the day before and no one needs special attention. I will do a visual inspection of the horses to make sure there is no unusual swelling or cuts. If any horse is lying down I watch to make sure they get up and are not experiencing colic. Feed time takes anywhere from 1-2 hours depending. Now that we have fed the horses we go inside and make our breakfast.
