Mine's fed at 5:30am. My sister-in-law says that my horse and hers stand at the end of their corrals and stare at the house window, just waiting for the light to turn on and then if she's not out there in what they deem a reasonable amount of time.... the neighbors hear all about it. :shock:
Each horse has their own stall and large run (we don't shut stall doors, they are free to go in/out) so feeding in the morning is giving the pre-prepared buckets of feed. Hers eats in her stall, mine outside (unless it's raining/snowing or tired human pours the feed into the inside feeder) and giving hay to mine and hay/alfalfa to hers.
We have to feed separate, I have a quarter horse whose convinced she's starving to death and inhales whatever you feed her (including de-wormer, she LOVES that stuff!!) and she has a thoroughbred whose slow, picky and needs hay in front of her 24x7.
I don't mind shoveling manure, it's quiet and peaceful.... nobody dares to come out there and bother me when I am, for fear I'll make them help! :lol:
