Never had a horse at home.

This is new to me. Haven't figure out a routine yet. First couple of days, I think I spent the entire day in the barn. (Why is so so easy to set my tack up in my designated area at a boarding stable, and so freaking difficult to figure out where to put stuff when I have my own tackroom?) I got to the end of the day and didn't feel like I accomplished anything, but it was very fun to putter.
I have even been organizing the manure pile. Trying to make it the right shape, so it gets all hot and composty (hoping to actively compost, so that it's useable as mulch/soil amendment sooner). Thinking about getting some sort of long thermometer so can check the internal temperature.
I think the poor husband feels like he and the cats have dropped down a couple pegs now that the horses are home. Probably wouldn't be too keen on my using one of the meat thermometers to check the compost temperature...
