From the necessary farrier and vet appointments to fun trips for horse shows and trail rides, owning and riding horses takes up quite a bit of time. So how do you make time in your schedule to fit everything in?  

In last week’s online poll, we asked our readers how much time they take off work each year for horse-related activities. More than 400 people responded, and we’ve tallied the results!

Of the 430 respondents, 93 (22%) said they take more than two weeks off work for horse-related activities. Some 90 respondents (21%) said they take more than one week but less than two weeks off, and another 90 people (21%) said they take a couple days off, but less than a week. Only 28 respondents (7%) said they limit their time off for horse activities to a few hours, and 61 individuals (14%) said they do not take time off work for their horses. The remaining 68 respondents (16%) had other responses.
