How far do you travel to your yard?

[Hunty91]

9 miles - takes about 20 mins each way, more if the A38 is busy!

 

[Cazzah]

About 8 miles at the moment - and the furthest away I've ever had them....feels like too far at the moment but struggling to find anywhere acceptable any closer.

 

[beatrice]

currently about 10 mins drive, depending on how many times i hav to stop on single track roads. However am moving to a new yard which is about a 20/25 mins drive but they will be on full livery so will only have to go once a day.

 

[dbendell]

20 mins but the yard is worth it

 

[Eriskayowner]

About 5 mins drive. I wouldn't walk it though as it's along the A38 which is really busy through that part!

 

[golddustsara]

17 miles and 30 mins. Would be about 20 mins but I live on the seafront in Southsea and have to travel all through Portsmouth to get out of this godforsaken city!

 

[j1ffy]

10 miles of London traffic...can take anything from 40 mins to 90! Hence I only have a part-loan not my own, there's no way I can do it more than a couple of times a week especially as I can work long hours.

Heard today though his owner is moving him further out so I'm not sure if I'll be able to carry on with him - would be at least 50 mins each way in good traffic

 

[Spyda]

2.9 miles

 

[MrsMozart]

11 miles and about fifteen minutes so long as no traffic: if caught on the wrong road, the traffic makes it twice as long

Can't wait 'till we can get moved!

 

[Twizzel]

20 minutes away if I catch the ferry, 35 minutes if I drive the long way round (which is cheaper as the ferry is extortionately expensive).

 

[miss_c]

About 10 minutes by car.

 

[soph21]

About 5 min drive, (just the other side of the village)

 

[Fizzimyst]

12.5 miles to mine, its the best yard I have ever been on, horses are happy, people are lovely, I've got no intention of moving them closer

although thinking about looking to move closer to the yard when my finances are looking healthier

 

[H's mum]

I'm lucky to have them at home now so they are literally just outside the door.. but I've been at yards which involved lengthy travel (30-40mins each way) and it really does become a grind (IMHO anyway)

[CastleMouse]

10/15 minute drive.

 

[daisy27]

About 2mins in the car 10mins to walk.... brilliant

 

[xmariax]

30-40mins up the motorway depending on the m25 traffic!!!! longer if i leave after 4.30!!!!!
i no it seems like madness to do it everday but my horses are so settled there i tried moving them closer and they hated it so i moved back.
i also have family local to the yard so they can babysit while i ride

have been doing it 6 yrs now its just part of my routine!

 

[sare_bear]

Just moved to a yard that is 17 miles away, takes about 25mins on good day. Couldnt find anything I liked closer and only go down once a day now. But so friendly its worth it.

 

[sugarpuff]

2 mins in the car!

 

[diggerbez]

about 10-15 mins depending on traffic. used to be 5 but i hated the place so would rather travel further. i love it

 

[chaps89]

15 minutes away from home, but luckily I work at the same place I keep my horse which saves any extra traveling as my stables are about 200 yards from my desk

I'd rather travel for 10 minutes longer to a better yard than for 5 minutes to a yard where I might not be so happy. As long as I could afford the extra time and fuel/it was justifiable

 

[Tarryho]

15 miles, takes about 25 minutes, but the facilities are good for me and they have services and my friends which I rely on so I only have to go once a day
