I agree that it's good to see you exploring alternatives to the current sub-optimal situation - good for you.
However, is it really practical to live 200 miles away? XHXW1 decided to move 80 miles away after they D'd. She didn't consult with XH - just decided and told him very soon before the move. He was pretty upset and that's understandable. He went from being able to pick SS up from school and spend midweek time with him, to weekends and holidays only.
So, perhaps the equestrian dream is only affordable in Devon? Or perhaps there could be options closer to home - say within an hour away?
