How far do you travel to your yard?

[welshied]

Just wondered as i am looking at new yards but don't know how far it too far!?

 

[Eira]

A minute

 

[welshied]

The one i am at at the minute is only 2 mins in car but isn't very good TBH

 

[Ecila]

About 5mins 10 if I get caught at the railway crossing!!

Used to travel 15/20mins which was too far!!

 

[only_me]

less than a minute

 

[DiablosGold]

10-15 minute drive or 25 minute walk.

The yard that I'm moving him to will be a 25 minute drive.

 

[Gooby]

12 1/2 miles approx, can take anywhere between 15 mins to 45 depending on motorway traffic. I would like somewhere closer to home but I used to travel this route every day for 14yrs for school so Im used to it, the yard has excellent facilities (although winter turnout could be better), my instructor is on the same yard so dont have to pay travel costs for her and my close friend of 17yrs is on the same yard so we help each other out a lot and if I ever have problems like my recent confidence crisis she has been able to help me through.

About 5m - and yes that is 5 metres - not mile!!

 

[wildpoppywild]

5 min drive 15-20 min walk, im slow lol!!

would love to have stables and land at my house would be soooo gd

 

[longtalltilly]

about a mile or so down the road!

 

[DW Team]

About 2.5 miles but used to be 16 miles which took about 2 hours driving a day for my two vists a day. We moved because of the horses! Gained the 2 hours so more time to play.

We keep ours about 10 - 15 mins away

 

[FairyCakes]

About 4/5 miles

 

[only_me]

I'm lucky in that i live right beside the yard

 

[JoBo]

Well I keep mine at my parent’s which is 10 minutes drive away.

 

[Chico Mio]

Like Flo_Bell, about 5 metres to the actual stables. I just open my back door and I'm in the yard.

We don't really count though, do we?

We are having to do a 40km round trip to see Jiro at the moment.

 

[tormor]

1mile door to door so a couple of minutes in the car or 15min walk

 

[Enfys]

I am fortunate, everything is on my doorstep.

 

[JoJo_]

10miles I think it is which takes 15-20mins depending on traffic and if I get caught by red lights.

 

[lucym]

10 miles- 20 minutes on country roads, is a fair way, but there is no where closer

 

[3Beasties]

20 miles away during the summer which take about 30 minutes to drive, I work at the place they are kept so I have to go there everyday anyway, so it isn't a problem really. I wouldn't want to travel that far otherwise!

During winter they are outside my bedroom window!

 

[china]

just over 2 miles, bout 5 minute drive,

 

[E_Lister]

About 500 metres, a 2 min walk across a field! And from my yard I think I am the furthest away

 

[Perfect_Pirouette]

20 miles away! So around half an hour drive away.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Down the garden path!!

Before moving here I lived 12 miles away - which was a 30 minute drive through country lanes and then I moved to 5 miles away and that took 15 mins (both could take longer if we got stuck at the level crossing!!) - but was worth it as the yard is so good for the horses.

 

[Bowen4Horses]

about 7 miles, 15mins in car

but about to move specifically so i can have him at home... woo hoo! then he'll literally be in my garden. well, paddock. xxx

 

[joy]

9 miles.

 

[cariadssogreat]

1 mile. 2 minute drive, never any traffic although the odd tractor lol!

 

[Pedantic]

5 to 10 mins in car, or 15 to 20 mins walk, depends how many people I end up talking to could then take me an hour or more

 

[lilym]

6 miles from home only 1 mile from work! journey takes between 10 - 25 mins
