How long are your hacks? and how often?

I tend to hack for a minimum of 2 hours on both weekend days, but more likely 3 or 4. An hour when I ride during the week if its light enough. I much prefer hacking to schooling :D
 
My new favourite app endomondo tells me I go out between 1-3 hours. Normally I go around 4 or 5m which surprised me, I felt it was much further than that. Trying to find new exciting routes now to use on it.

I visit Idiotpony twice a week, so I have Monday for School work and we have Adventure Fridays for hacking fun.

That's what I do, but am free a couple of week days so do a 1 1/2 to 2 hours a couple of times mid week as well as weekends.
 
I do 1-2 hours, generally; a bit longer at the weekend if it's nice!

Although our main 'off road' route is out of bounds at the moment as there's a very large tree down :(
 
Normally 1-2 hours, 2-3 times a week, sometimes up to 3 hours in summer for a longer ride.

I have no roadwork and take many routes, all of which have a number of good fast cantering options! :)
 
Now I work at the yard I use my pony to escort hacks, so generally 3 times a week for 1hr. On my two days off I take her out for faster work and 2-3hr hacks. 1 day she schools or jumps.
 
If I have a hacking partner, 2 - 4 hours usually, covering 10 - 20 miles (longest I think was the epic 20 miles over 7 hours in the snow last year with dafthoss and her yellow pony).

Currently though, very short as no hacking buddy on new yard and F turns into a prancing dragon pony when alone, which makes for a seriously unrelaxing hack. Working on short ones = confidence = one day we can go for long ones without fear of imminent death...
 
Don't think its worth tacking up for less than 2hrs.That's why I don't like to be tied to a time,I get on anf keep going.When I hack one of the boys over to the barefoot trimmer we make it a long one (11ml round trip) but if the weathers not good I do admit I take the trailer and park it somewhere along the way and just make it shorter.
 
15 to 20 minutes once maybe twice a week on 3 and half yr old at walk in private woods owned by farm where she lives. this morning for the first time completley on our own! :D
some one was on yard and i had phone just in case. but not needed, she was a very good girl!! :D
