Would you move your horses closer to home if it meant sacrificing some facilities? I have the option of moving 3 miles from my house, Ive worked out that Id save 40 minutes a day commuting to the yard and back, and almost £100 a month from petrol money. But Id be giving up an indoor school, masses of storage space, all weather turnouts and the fancy solarium/wash bay at my current yard. On the flip side, the hacking if I moved would be improved as it involves a huge country park and plenty of off road walks/tracks that I know quite well. The horses would still be turned out daily, just on grass/mud rather than hardcore, and Id be trading a like for like outdoor to ride in. Worming, yard farriers/vets and the owners attitude all seems great at the possible new place, but equally my current YOs are also brilliant.
Feeling torn. An extra £100 in my bank account a month would make a huge difference right now, but I think from the outside Id seem mad to move away from the current yard Im on due to the facilities and upkeep of the place.
