[Reply] I'm so glad someone brought this up, because my opinion is like
Diane's.  I had a friend (Angie, her paranoia makes you look positively laid
back!) who was obsessed about "routine".  Result : her TB would colic if
supper was more than fifteen minutes late.  Mine must just deal.  If I'm at
a show, supper can't be on time, and sometimes breakfast is out, too.  I
also sometimes take them off of lunch, or give some lunch and not others.  T

 

 

Ditto here.  Our guys are out on scanty pasture all day, with access to a round bale.  They get their grain/beet pulp every evening "around" 7 pm.  That means somewhere between 6 and 8 pm.  LOL  If we get home late, they might end up waiting till 9 or 9:30 pm (which doesn't make for happy ponies, but there's not much they can do about it other than give us dirty looks when we pull in the driveway).  No routine here.  Of course, they start gathering hopefully in the vicinity of the barn around 5 pm, just in case we may want to feed early that day.  Hope springs eternal...  :)
