I’ve not read through the most recent threads because of actual life… I was out with my horses before 7 this morning (as every morning) I feed mine, change their rugs and put them out. I take a huge wheelbarrow load out of each stable (shavings beds on mats) of poo and wet each morning, putting the bed up to dry whilst the horses are turned out for the day, then back in early afternoon whilst the ground is so wet, beds down, haybar full, stable water, poo pick fields, wash off legs, change rugs etc before going back at 7 for another muck out, more hay, rugs if needed and dinner for them.. whilst walking my dog straight after… it takes me about an hour in the morning, half hour in the afternoon and an hour each night (that’s with no exercise for them) I don’t know much about alpacas but you need AT LEAST an acre per horse, consider the rotation of fields through the year, worming and vaccs etc too.. I spend my days covered in water profs and muddy boots
