Livery prices

[I love my Haffy]

Hi everyone.

Could i ask for your help AGAIN please.

Could you let me know how much you pay a month and what you get for your money?

Thanks x x

[My Crazy Clan]

My field works out about £12.50 a week per a horse x 7 horses = £318 a month.

10 acres, feeding paddock, running water, nice hacking, quite field away from the roads.

[MyLuckyStar]

We pay £70 per calendar month per horse. We get free turn out in the mornings, use of a full size floodlit menage, use of jumping field in the summer, a bit of off road hacking, fully secure yard and shows held monthly in summer

Mines £72 a month DIY, for a stable and year round turnout, you can buy hay and straw off the yard owner or get your own, there's an outdoor school, to use whenever you like, or you can ride on the land, decent hacking, electric, running water, places to store your things, the yard owner just lives over the road so there's always someone to keep an eye out, also the yard owner is a riding instructor which is handy not having to travel for lessons. She also does a full or part livery on a seperate yard over the road, takes horses for breaking or schooling and does clipping or other things like that. I think I've got a good price there :)

For full livery we pay £40 per month per horse. This includes:


Stable
Secure tack room
24hr turnout in the summer
Daily mucking out
Rug changes
Daily Turnout/bring in
1 feed per day and as much hay as required
Use of the 'school' (term used lightly as it's a bit of field fenced off that gets boggy in the winter)
Good hacking
1 bag of Shavings per week

per MONTH...:shocked: blimey

I charge that per week for DIY livery

[Squid]

My yard is quite expensive but it's the closest one to me and is basically a 5min drive from both of my jobs and an 8minute drive from my house so it suits me to the ground even though I have considered moving!

It's £160 a month, and that's DIY

-A stable
-all year unlimited turnout
-a rubber school with jumps
-field hacking & road hacking
-horse turned out in the morning if required and brought in if required. (but should only be one of these choices per day)
- a secure tack room but I keep my tack at home
- storage
- tap/hose
- electricity points


other than that I pay for my own hay, shavings and anything else on top of that!

[Smoke on the Water]

Cat I wondered if you'd missed a 0 off somewhere!

I pay £22.50 a week for stable and turnout, plus use of indoor and outdoor school. Everything else is on top.

I spend between £200-£250 a month.

[Catg]

LOL! Sorry girls had a bit of a blonde moment there! :lol:

We pay £40 per week per horse.

[Thingamyjig]

Catg, thats still cheap for full livery, at least it is round here, anyway.

[Catg]

Hi Thingamyjig, yes it is we are lucky in that respect but just to clarify that everything I listed there is supposed to be for the full year but the horses live out 24/7 from May to November and only come in for bad weather, worming etc so for 6 months of the year they don't really need to do anything other than keep an eye on them and muck out the odd stable. They will bring Zeb in for me if I have a lesson after work for example and have a tea ready for him but otherwise he stays out.

They are lovely people and we can keep the horses in when we need to in the summer for example if I am showing but otherwise there far less for them to do so it balances it out I suppose.

Sorry if that was a bit waffly!

How does it work at other yards?

[Loosey]

I pay £25 per week (£108 pcm) per horse. This includes Year round turnout - 24/7 in the summer, stables, ad lib haylage, use of outdoor floodlit school and individual tack rooms.

It's not the tidiest of all yards - I've been at some much smarter but the scholl is olympic sized, the grazing is good, the stables dry and warm and the hacking is AMAZING! People are really nice and I've grown to really like it there!

[Catg]

That sounds good Loosey, I really miss having a proper school but a floodlit one would be brilliant. That's defnitely something I would look for in a new yard.

[coloredred]

I pay £30 per week for DIY which includes all year turnout, horse walker, sand school and cross country course. I then pay £7 a week in summer and £10 a week in winter for as much haylage as i can use.

School has lights so it can still be used in winter. The yard is also a riding school so i can have lessons on site in the school and on the xc course. I can also have Magic schooled if i want. The tackroom is very secure and i also have my own storage space in a barn.

[bimba]

Both mine are DIY on a private yard, there's my 2 and their horse so I basically do my own thing. I have 24/7 turnout all year if I want it, stable, hay shed/feed shed, secure tack room, good hacking, fab grazing, someone on site pretty much all the time plus the friends who own the yard will let Mac out in the morning or bring him in if everythings left ready at no extra charge. I pay £18 a week for Mac and £9 for TJ which I think is very reasonable.

[XenaWarriorPrincess]

I pay £35 a week for my two but they share a stable so i am technically paying for the stable rather than per pony!
They ger turned out for me in the morning and brought in if i cant get there for some reason!
Included bedding and haylegde but not feed!
Although mine is a good deal because i work there aswell :)

[beks the artist]

Here is what I get for £20 per horse:


Stable
Own tack / feed barn
24hr turnout in the summer / winter
Small 15 x 40 indoor school - big enough to have a canter down the long sides (some of the lights do work!)
Fantastic off road hacking over the mountains
Own organic hayledge available to but per bale at £30.00
Electric in all stables & outide lights
Water
Owners leave us alone and let us do what we like (within reason)
Flatish field for me to put my set of show jumps
Horse trailer stored at farm for free
Dry stone walls - No barbed wire!
Someone on site 24/7

[CDR]

I pay £47.50 per week for part livery so they do him 5 days a week. It also includes all bedding and forage.

If Bailey goes onto the working livery where they use him for the riding school for half of the week it'll be halved so £23.75 per week.

There's a school, jumping field and decent hacking. It's a long walk to the field though!

[OzzieWelshie]

I pay £20 a week for DIY which includes turn out all year round, brand new stable & secure tack room, off road hacking nearby as well as quiet lanes & use of school. Theres always someone on site aswell which gives piece of mind.

[Houndsfield]

Wow..... my yard seems expensive.... I pay £32.00 per week for a large stable (but daughter has a 17hh horse!)... We get grass turn out - restricted in the winter ;-( The use of a good 60x20 school.... good hacking - but that's all. It's expensive - but convenient as close to a Riding Center (5 mins away) which holds good events weekly. Also very close to motorway junction.... for competitions.

[Twizzel]

Various DIY yards I've been on:

£25/wk, stable, field for turnout (1 field used constantly through winter and summer, very poached), use of sandschool, limited hacking, £5 per week for poor quality straw/ okish hay.

£25/wk to include stable, fab turnout, floodlit school with rubber surface, good hacking, not including bedding, can't remember about hay!

£30/wk good size stable, ok turnout (good enough but struggling with grass now), good hay and straw included, sandschool, xc jumps, great hacking, isolated village- takes ages to get anywhere from there!!

£75/wk part livery, turnout and bring in, rug changes, muck out, 1 bale shavings/wk, on a busy riding school with huge indoor school, another smaller indoor, outdoor school and horse walker. Limited hacking, turnout in large groups but very boggy in winter.

[Gillian]

And I pay £280 per month in the winter for full livery. Huge stable and daily turnout etc. All feed hay and bedding included. Rugs on/off. Holding for farrier and vet.

Yard facilities include excellent off-road hacking including forest and massive beach. Use of two cross-country courses for free whenever we like. There is also a floodlit school however it isn't surfaced - just grass. Large fields with plenty of grass, all year turnout.

[Puss in boots]

I pay 120 per month for a stable and field, have to fill own water for field, there is great hacking, its a lovely location and YO's are lovely and very good at managing the place. Everything else is extra

the lady who owns Ollie was paying £600 a month for part livery and he didnt even get turned out!

[beks the artist]

Fruddy - I want to be at your yard!!!! WOW!

[helena]

At our yard it is £25 a week for large stable, tackroom big enough for 20 bales of hay, use of brand new menage, off road hacking, 10 minutes from beach,
horses in individual paddocks from March-November,turnout in morning, bring in at evening and give evening feed.

December-Feb when turnout is limited to 1 hour per day its £18 a week.

[Dottie Lottie]

I pay £20 per week, which includes all hard feed, hay and straw. We have excellent off road hacking some on private land and woodland which also includes a hunt course, small xc course, jump field (no school though, we school in one of the fields). He is also fed every day and rug checked and held for the farrier if Im not there. The farmer who owns the yard has various big fields dotted around and so for the winter Bill is out in the 12 acre field with automatic water trough and no poo picking whoop whoop!

[de80]

£100 for stable, individual paddock, sand school, hay/ straw provided for our use at very good prices. it's well maintain
£50 for stable and grazing
both are per month

[Ali27]

In Oxfordshire, I was paying £90 a week for part livery with straw, hay, hard feed, mucking out and turning out etc. Then £45 a week grass livery in Summer but could bring in for DIY as price included straw and hay. It had horsewalker, post and rail turnout, farm ride, floodlit outdoor school and good hacking.
I have now moved back to Staffs and my old yard and I pay £25 a week for DIY. We have a large outdoor floodlit school but surface isn't brilliant. We have a jump paddock too. We can ride around the farm in the summer and the hacking is not bad with mainly hacking on roads but some bridleways. I love this yard as we can get on and do our thing and there is always someone to help out if you are going away etc!

[Fruddy]

Fruddy - I want to be at your yard!!!! WOW!

Its a fantastic yard Beks - I've been there for over eight years. We usually have a waiting list for boxes - as very few people leave once they get there.

I think what makes it such a great yard is not only the Yard Owner who runs the place with her two daughters, and they are all absolutely lovely people, who care about the liveries as much as their own horses, but also the mix of people who stable there - we have competition riders, pleasure riders, people who own horses but don't ride and children with ponies. Everyone gets along really well - not all are great friends and socialise together, although many do, but there is absolutely none of the bitchiness or cliqueyness that you find on some other yards. The invitation to join in days and nights out is there if you want it, no bother if you don't!

I consider myself truly lucky to stable there and it is worth every single penny that I pay in livery.
