Hi Minimex2, This is something I don't want to be a problem at the yard, would you prefer an option to have 5 day livery and be able to supply your own hard feed/hay? Therefore only paying for what you use and being able to choose what to feed.

Thank you for all your useful advice. I've been on both full livery and part livery yards myself and as others say it differs yard to yard. Luckily being a small yard it will be able to offer tailored packages but would like to have a standard option in place. I can see benefits in including...

Owner to provide all hay/hard feed. 1 bale of shavings a week included. The reason behind having an option to supply your own hay/hard feed is I've found many people may compare ie what a 15hh may eat to a 17hh and not wanting to pay the same as someone else who's horse required double the...

I do agree with that! Thank you for all your advice.

Thank you for the above advice. I agree bank holidays should be covered within 7 day livery. All extras will be diarised and invoiced. On previous yards extras have been invoiced onto the monthly bill but I can see the benefits of invoicing these weekly. A full contract will be put in place...

Thank you for your reply, the above it the figures I had in mind. As a small yard we can offer individual one to one high standard of care. If your on a 5 day or a 7 day livery packages what is the usual agreement over bank holidays/Christmas etc? Some yards around the area cover the bank...

Thank you for the information, will PM for the guys details- it will be good to have a few opitions and prices!! I think we will be looking at the mobile shelters route for storage, although they don't seem any cheaper then what it would be to put up a fixed hay store but I suppose your...
