Livery Fees

yeah we also have a rota system, 2 of the girls do morning turn outs and me an d another girl do bedding down and bring in's.it makes it a lot easier knowing you don't have to be there all the time especially with work and the prices of full or part livery!you gotta trust that the others will do it though!
 
what are road nails?

I adgist at two different places

First is a 6acre feild with good trails but also alot of roads to cross it is $95 a month 38pounds or 54euro

The other place has a slanted menage(means the horses run down one side) and private paddocks feed twice a day but i pay for feed. there are no trails except on friday when the ragers are at home. it costs $137 a month 54pounds or 78 euro
 
I'm from NZ but thought I'd add my info in anyway!! And I've even gone to the trouble of converting it to pounds, like Waikato Valuta lol

For my grazing, I pay 35 pounds ($100) a month, this includes the use of paddocks (organised by the owner), an indoor arena, yards, stall if needed. Not to mention all the free help and advice I get!! For a trim I pay 7 pounds ($20).
 
I am in Berkshire. We pay £23 per week for full grass livery, no stable, no place to store tack. In winter hay will be extra. There is an indoor school which can be used if not booked already and country hacking but some quite busy roads. Full livery is £70, feed extra. £45 for the farrier every 6 weeks. £35 for the physio and £20 for the dentist.

I am amazed at the difference in prices. It is very difficult finding a yard that you feel will look after your horse and provide the facilities that you want. As someone said there seems to be more horses than liveries spaces available. I havent found many choices round here so unless you have your own land it seems that you have to make a compromise somewhere.
 
I have a 12.3hh pony and he's kept at grass livery, although at the moment he is in some of the time as he's getting too fat. He costs me £77 a month inc. hay and straw. I have a young girl looking after him during the week and she gets to ride him. I couldn't possibly manage without her. I work miles away from where I live so cant get to the stables every day as I leave at 6.15am each morning and get home at 6.30 pm in the evening if I'm lucky! I see him every weekend and every day when I'm on holiday from work.
 
Hi

And I thought London was expensive!

I pay £350pm for half livery in London. This includes 2 lots of shavings per week, all feeds, turn out and bring in, use of an indoor school, outdoor school and jumping field. Full livery is £650 per month!!

Farrier £55 every 6 weeks.

Somerset sounds lovely..................

hiya!
Im lucky enough to have a small yard. For livery i charge

DIY; £15 pr wk for stable + grazing (£10 for just grass in the summer), it includes a bale of straw a week during the winter.

Full; is £50 pr wk which includes hay/straw/feed/worming and care.

We have forest and mountain riding and are 2 miles from the beach. We use a caravan for a tack room at the moment! and we have a 20 X 40 sandschool (or will have next week - its on the brink of being finished!)
I sell small bale haylage at £5 a bale and this year we'll hay hay too which will be £2 a bale, if they need extra straw it would be £1.50 pr bale.

I'm in Pembs, in West Wales :cool:
 
I do not live in England and pay in Euros. I pay 470 euros per month - this is a bit more than the other people at my place because my horse is on shavings as he is allergic to dust and straw makes him cough. This includes a big stable, daily turnout, food. I pay my own hay again because of his allergy I get special dust free hay, otherwise the hay is made there and is really good and included int he price. The facilities are good, 3 round pens, 1 big outside school, 1 big outside jumping school. I training track for racing. Nearby forest for riding out and relaxing in. Knowledgable grooms who live on site so someone is always there which is good for security also. Shoeing is about 65 euros for a complete new set, this is regular shoeing for a horse with no special problems. I am not sure of the euro / pound exchange so can't turn it into pounds.
 
I pay £20.00 a week for my rent which i have one stable, nice size field, tack room, I think i pay a little bit to much, but my horse loves it here, the owner is great and the security couldn't get any better.

My shoes cost me £52.00 every 6-8 weeks (they have just gone up £2.00)
 
I am on a lovely friendly little DIY yard where there are 10 horses in total. I pay £17.50 per week for stable and grazing, which also includes unlimited straw. We have permanent electric fencing round all the fields, a winter turn out field which never gets muddy :D , a starvation paddock, a full sized floodlit sandschool and a paddock set up with at least 10 jumps in it and plenty of off road hacking and fields to ride in if required. The tack room is connected to an alarm system. Hay is provided at £3/bale or you can bring your own. The owner of the yard will turn out or bring in if ever needed. My boy is barefoot so I only have a trim to pay for at £15 (although I do pay the farrier £20 because he is worth it ;) )
