I wouldn't be doing this unless I absolutely couldn't deal with it anymore.

We cut 15min when we switched barns but it comes out to be more than that when you add in my drive time to ride Comrade after taking care of my own horses. Then I went from 92 miles round trip to 64 miles. I would love to be closer, but our area has expensive housing. Can't wait to hear about you riding more.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675631291488697042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-68061362416999301822017-03-22T10:06:35.102-04:002017-03-22T10:06:35.102-04:00Eeeek!

They're all various levels of sickeningly expensive, but #options) and it seems like your current barn as been so wonderful. Three cheers for a trainer who understands, helps and doesn't take you leaving personally, and I hope having Connor 10 minutes from your house brings you so much joy. It seems like it's Big Decision Spring for a lot of the bloggers I read, and it's going to be exciting to follow your experiences as a reader :) TheFoxRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291735157875155200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-9993130313584633112017-03-22T09:53:38.952-04:002017-03-22T09:53:38.952-04:00I'm happy for you and excited to hear more abo...I'm happy for you and excited to hear more about the new barn. Having moved a few times (more than I should probably) I think its both exciting and stressful. It's scary to leave a place that you love but with the ability to trailer you have so many options and you're going to LOVE the short drive :)Piccoloponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275679567725425281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-30502204174887267102017-03-22T09:41:15.849-04:002017-03-22T09:41:15.849-04:00Moving barns is SO stressful but you will LOVE hav...Moving barns is SO stressful but you will LOVE having your pony so close!
