Does anyone know when it will be allowed, or if it already is, to travel from England to view a horse in Wales?

Absolutely not allowed at present. Maybe in June 2021 but that depends on the England Lockdown coming to an end.

That long? I would have thought from the England road map it would have fallen into the 12 April group? I don't know the situation in Wales though, I know they are saying stay local at present but groups of four are allowed to meet - I can't see England being local to where I want to go though.

I'm in Wales and currently we are meant to only travel a maximum of five miles under the 'stay local' rule. There are only a few specific exceptions.

Unlimited travel within Wales is allowed from tomorrow but still no travel across the border unless essential.

The stay at home order in England ends on Monday. It ended in Wales two weeks ago and was replaced with a 5 mile limit, but that will, itself, be replaced by unlimited travel within Wales tomorrow. There is however still no travel across the border, unless essential, for at least another two weeks.

Sorry, I absolutely meant England - I've edited post now. What a moron!

No need to apologise, it's me. I get a bit precious about the England = UK thing, especially in the covid context. It's just very frustrating when people assume things apply to you when they don't. We've generally had much stricter controls in Wales (which I'm glad about as they've kept our rates lower on the whole) but the number of stories you read about people coming to Welsh beaches and mountains from areas with really high covid rates compared to ours because "Boris said they could travel" or they "didn't realise Wales was a separate country" makes me angry. It feels like we make the sacrifices only for people from elsewhere to bring it here anyway.
I have nothing against the English by the way - I imagine the people of Devon and Cornwall feel the same, although they haven't had the stricter rules - I just think everybody should be travelling as little as possible at the moment.
