You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	Well, 1.5 hours, but before I moved she was less than 10 min from my parents house. Lucked in to that!! But I would drive across the state if I had to for her to work on my horses.

Reaching for the stars.... Posts: 12704	Mine are going 4 hours down the road now. Used to be about 3. But once you have a negative experience it's really tough to let them go beyond what you're comfortable driving on a moments notice to check on.

No Tune in a Bucket Posts: 2935 Location: Texas	From the horror stories I have heard about sending off horses a long distance, I would suggest finding a trainer within a couple hours of home.

Saint Stacey	13. But her husband I’d used for 10 years as my go to muscle guy and I’ve never heard a bad thing about her training techniques. Plus all the horses in her barn were happy. You can tell a lot by a trainer if you can read horses in the shed row. I’ve never used her, but after meeting her and watching what others have said, I’d send one another 12 hours to Liana Deweese.

Miss Laundry Misshap Posts: 5271	Well, said horse was 16 hours. I found a trainer that was on the way home. 4 hours from her home. So I guess 12 hours. lol This person was exceptional. I didn't know she was small, pics were deceiving. She got there and he wouldn't ride her (thank goodness!). He kept her for 2 weeks for ground work and I went and got her. I'd be very cautious sending your horse to someone who didn't come with scads of recommendations and reviews. This person had those. Some people would have rode her anyways and possibly hurt her. So who are looking at sending to and where?
