From the shopping around I have been doing, it varies from yard to yard as to whether hay/feed/bedding are included, and if they are what type of these are included.
Can I buy/keep a horse with a £28.5k salary in 2025?

Have a read of this thread from yesterday where that poster details that for her £260 grass livery she is not allowed to visit her own in foal mare
.Missing my mare
Not only has daughter (11) outgrown her share Shetland (and he’s retired) so she has nothing to ride, but we can’t visit our lovely in-foal mare either. 😔 She’s on full livery and being taken well care of, but the rule is that from now on (or rather starting a few weeks ago) we can’t see her -...

Ah yes I just spotted that thread! Gives a bit more context.Have a read of this thread from yesterday where that poster details that for her £260 grass livery she is not allowed to visit her own in foal mare

OP I know there are regional differences but I do think for full livery especially it's worth calculating the daily rate, then thinking about how realistic it is that it covers at least minimum wage for the labour cost of providing care for a horse. Because if it doesn't, or it's really tight, I do wonder where corners may be cut to make it work.
