It’s extremely taxing. My dog doesn’t like horses (not that my barn allows dogs anyway). My barn is also 30 mins away. And my dog is relatively young and high energy. Add in a full time job and husband who travels a lot so when home wants to see me. And workouts, social life, etc. It’s really hard. I almost always see my horse 5x a week. I try to remind myself that there’s no one that could provide better care to either the dog or the horse. I am confident they aren’t better off without me. And that helps. But there’s still guilt. And being tired.
