As a lot of you on here know. I moved yards last November. I have settled in well and sox very well!!
At the time I moved it was £25 for the stable and grazing. No school but they were hoping to maybe get one. But for the time being we could use another woman's school just down the road for free.
Then around two month ago the YO was speaking about hopefully putting a school in . Once they could get a digger in and move the stuff in the way at the moment, when it had dried up. Then around a month ago they said they were hoping to get the digger in in the next few weeks. This digger hasn't actually turned up at the moment. 3 weeks ago the YO spoke about putting the livery up if we was to get the school or to pay to use the school. Which I wouldn't mind paying £5 extra for the school.
Me and the other liveries came down to the yard today to find a note, litrally a folded piece of paper with our names on it. Saying as of the first week in May the livery will be going up to £30 per week. The general going rate for DIY with stable, grazing and school is around £25 in this area. There is 2 yards that I know how charge more. The yard sox was previously at, which had; 2 schools, tack room, grazing, dressage area, show jumping area and xc course, along with a tea room. The other yard is a full livery yard but goes to DIY in the summer and that charges £30 per week, but they have a indoor and outdoor school, both very large and regular shows there.
I can understand paying £25 for grazing and stables but not really £30. Not a lot of people around here would be £120-150 per month just for stables and fields. I could understand if the money was to go towards the school. or increase it when we get the school. But not when nothing has actually changed to make the yard better. Sox is very happy here and so are the other horses. However the other liveries are students or on min wage. So there looking at moving.
They did speak to the YO who said ' just with water and that going up' I thought we were doing well on the eco side of things! So either lump it or like it. I want to like it but ... nothing has changed to up the price of the yard, infact we have 7 horses on 6 acres of land.
There aren't many yards that offer group turnout that are near to competition yards in walking distance , the hacking is good etc and its DIY. But my worry is if other leave, which their already looking into sox will be by himself and , currently all the 4 horses get on well. its a good bunch.
