Atm because of Storm's stiff hocks I am trying to ride her either at lunch time or evening. I bring them both in and pop them in their stables - I normally give Chloe a handful of hay and same with Storm, just to munch on because it can take me a while to tack up! By the time I've groomed her and done her tack up slowly its normally half an hour, so, I guess yes, I do give her time from coming in from the field. If I ride her of an evening, I would give her, her tea first - but it's nothing to get excited about, just half a carrot and a tiny scoop of Happy HOof, and I wait at least three quarters of an hour because although it's "chop" I class it as hard feed and don't work her immediately after.
