Can you help with livery cost query, please?!

[sunnygirlfriend]

Hi
Can you help please? I have kept my 14.2hh arab at grass livery for most of his life, and pay seventy five pounds a month for DIY grass livery in Kent (near Maidstone), including use of outdoor arena, but everything else is extra.

I am considering finding somewhere with DIY / assisted livery with turnout and stables, as he is getting on a bit now, and I would like to monitor his feed intake more, but am 'out of the loop' - how much does it cost these days?! I am after either DIY or assisted DIY for in the week.

Hope you can give me some ideas, thanks

I am also in Kent, Swanley area. I used to pay £260 a month for assisted livery that was Monday to Friday everything done but i supplied hay, feed, bedding nothing extra for using facilities.
For pure D.I.Y in this area you're looking at £140 a month.
Im now on full livery and its £390 a month.
Hope these prices help.

Thanks to all who replied with costs for livery, it has really highlighted the differences in cost, presumably across the country!
I am on a budget but am hoping to get stable and field for a bout 100 pounds a month. Can't believe I am thinking about winter stabling in August!
Thanks
