Average travel time

[EmsnMaisie]

I'm asking this of people who DON'T keep their horses at home and have to travel by car to get to their horses.
How long do you spend travelling?

[Lacetti]

My horse is kept about 11 miles from where I live, and 4 miles from where I work. It taks me approx. 15-20 mins (depending on traffc) to get to yard from home and about 5-10 mins from work... BUT in rush hour from work it takes me a good 30 mins!!!! Grrrrrrr

[Jenny2502]

my horse and pony are kept about 3 miles up the road but its off a main road, so its so busy most of the time so sat-wed it takes about 15mins thurs and fri it can take up to 30mins!! as rush hour on a thurs and fri seems to be more rushed!

My pony is less than a mile away from the house so on average it takes about 3 minutes!

I drive a moped, from home to yard 8 minutes, from work to yard about 30mins

6.5miles from house to horse - 10 mins drive
18 miles from horse to work - 35mins drive
then back the same way :)

At the moment Freddy is at a yard that is 15 mins from home.

Hoping to move closer - 10 mins - but waiting for space to come up at yard we like.

The field is about three miles from home (and work), so on a quiet day, I can make it in about five to seven minutes.
Unfortunately, I have several roundabouts to get round on a dual carriageway, so during rush hour, it can take anything up to 20 minutes to get out of town and into the village :eek:

My horse is kept 5 miles away from my house but i have to go through town to get to him so depending on time of day it can vary but usually takes 15/20mins to get there.

In the summer i would like to cycle there and back will save a bit on fuel and keep me fit but i would think it will take me about 35mins to get there.... there are some pretty steep hills to climb!!

[cob1]

5 mins (just a couple ov miles away)

Then 1hr to work :eek:

[Bertie]

Up until 1-week ago it was an 18.5 mile round trip from home and about 6-miles from work. Now it is 3 mile round trip :D

[Joyscarer]

I allow 35 mins to get back from the yard to pick my daughter up from school which I obviously have to be on time for. I can do it in 25 mins on a good day. Peak times it just isn't worth setting out :mad:

[Ginger Thing]

7 miles, 25 min drive.

[acw295]

10.5 miles from home to yard (managed to shave .5 mile off lately by going slighly different ay :D) which takes 15-20 mins depending on time of day.

Work to yard is 8 miles but in rush hour can take 25 mins (normally 10-15 mins)

Each day I do 40.5 miles and worse case scenario 1 hour 15 mins in the car total travelling time (2 visits to yard daily) :eek:

[spikeylaura]

I too am a moped rider - my house to yard 5 mins (3 miles), OH house to yard 20mins (9 miles) then the other way round for work - my house to work 20mins, OH house about 10 mins (traffic!)

[ForestGump]

The yard is 10 minutes away on foot and 2 minutes in the car. I like having him that close because in an emergency the longest it takes me to get there is 10 minutes. Although in an emergency I would be running if I couldn't drive so would only take me 5 minutes. :D

It used to take about 40 minutes by car to go and see my horse.

[Rachel_sugar]

it take me 15-20 minutes by car to see my horse from home to far to walk

but always go down there from college which takes me about half hour to get there

[learningcurve]

10 minutes max from home.

[Jumperbabe]

From home: 10 miles/25 min
From College: 35 miles/ Just over 1 hour

I typically go home after school and then go to the barn. It just feel like it takes so much longer if I leave right from school. Of course there are days I don't have a choice. Either way I try to go out to the barn every day
