Fantasy Relocation - Where would you choose?

[Jellymoon]

For a bit of fun, if you could up sticks with the horses and get away from this awful weather…where would you go? Somewhere with a nice climate and a good horsey scene, not too alien to someone used to the UK saystems. Not too far from UK so one could come back to visit family and friends.
I’m thinking Girona area, Spain…but where else?

 

[ROMANY 1959]

Blue ridge mountains , Virginia USA. Could live with the winters. Just me and the dogs and a few horses.

 

[cauda equina]

My fantasy would be to stay where I am, and relocate everyone else

 

[HopOnTrot]

DH and I flit between Yorkshire or a ranch somewhere in America.

 

[ArklePigInBlanket]

West coast of Ireland!

Eta I did read the brief but it's possible my idea of good climate isn't everyone's.

 

[ihatework]

I love where I am, but would be very open to persuasion to relocate to southern Spain Dec-March each year!

 

[PurBee]

Sorry, my fantasy doesnt fit the brief entirely - id choose specific areas of Costa Rica, purely for the temperate climate and ability to grow abundant food/grass all year round, rather than politics etc.

Nearest Uk place thats also gorgeous would be Tuscany Italy, and regions around Barcelona/north east Spain - again for climate only!

If money was no object, i’d love a massive ranch in California

 

[poacher82]

Farmstead in British Columbia, ideally lovely and rural but Vancouver-reachable.

 

[Zoeypxo]

Tuscany, or gold coast australia minus the spiders

 

[dougpeg]

New Zealand. Never been but ticks a lot of horse related boxes. Better weather too.

 

[blitznbobs]

Can I stay where I am but have 3 all weather turn out areas and a large indoor school?

That is all

 

[Jellymoon]

I love where I am, but would be very open to persuasion to relocate to southern Spain Dec-March each year!

I think that would be my ideal too!

 

[Boughtabay]

Here, but I’d have a horse lane to the nearest bridlepath and it would be dry

 

[Goldenstar]

Round Middleburgh in Virginia.

 

[Pinkvboots]

Anywhere without alot of rain

 

[silv]

Wyoming or Montana in the mountains.

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

I want this exact property in this exact location - those views would never get boring, just beautiful. I like the rolling hills, the coastline, the barn, the sometimes extreme weather, the green, the remoteness.. just yes

[millitiger]

Montana
New Zealand
Monmouthshire

Whichever one though, would need minimum 100 acres on good ground.
Then the weather would be immaterial as my winter turnout field could be 20+ acres, so no mud bath.

 

[SO1]

I hate the heat so it would have to be somewhere which didn't get really hot during summer. Azores is meant to be fairly consistent with temperatures.

 

[AutumnDays]

Northern Sweden. We both love it there (regular attendees of the WRC Rally Sweden!). Actual seasons. Proper wild countryside. People that don't like interacting with other people unless necessary. We looked at moving there a good few years ago, but now with the horses and dog, I think it will stay fantasy

 

[littleshetland]

Anywhere there's no traffic....so possibly Sark.

 

[SkylarkAscending]

Scotland - probably Dumfries and Galloway but I’m open to ideas really The highlands are glorious too

Weather - as you can tell - doesn’t bother me, I can always go on holiday

 

[Foxglove]

I’d definitely winter in Southern California!

 

[Kunoichi73]

Farmstead in British Columbia, ideally lovely and rural but Vancouver-reachable.

This for me too. Although, with the last few years of forest fires, I might have to have a rethink.

 

[spotty_pony2]

somewhere dry and a bit warmer - would seriously consider France, Spain and Italy as long as I could take my horse with me!

 

[sollimum]

If I had a little tardis, I would stay here but take the coblets with me for midnight flits to Cornwall.

 

[Vodkagirly]

Love where I live but it's been a hard winter with no school.

 

[meleeka]

West coast of Ireland!

Eta I did read the brief but it's possible my idea of good climate isn't everyone's.

My friend is about to move there. It looks lovely, but a bit remote for my liking and the weather would put me off.

I’d like to move up north, the Yorkshire Dales, or the Peak District. OH wants to move to the Isle of Wight

Isle of Wight is lovely, its own microclimate, lots of hills to get horses fit and the sea...

 

[Polos Mum]

Cape Town, fab beach riding and healthy competition scene.
I'd probably do 6 months there and 6 months UK in my fantasy world (bringing all the ponies / dogs with me as I flit between the two)
