I'd go for the closer option. I have my horse a few minutes drive from home, and I can't imagine how you fit in a 40 minute round trip every day along with everything else.
Just an update for everyone who gave advice, I have decided to move to the closer yard I went back to have a second look at the weekend and made up my mind. And will have a little shed for storage to organise how I like which is a bonus.
What about fellow liveries? (Sorry, haven’t read all the replies if already covered.) I wouldn’t sacrifice a friendly, easy-going yard for the sake of being closer to home but with unknown liveries.
Likewise, and probably more important, the same would apply to the YO/YM obviously.
If all is equal, or there are people on your current yard who are problematic, I’d move.
storage is a double edged sword (I tend to hoard if I have lots of space!) and a solarium is neither here nor there for me.
