Is there a feed company that has a weigh bridge for horses that will come to a livery yard, weigh and condition score the horses then advise on appropriate feeding?

I think there's a few but Spillers came to our yard this week and did exactly that.

Did you have to pay, and how do you arrange a visit?

I think Spillers only come out to yards with 10 or more horses to weigh and assess, so you would need to get a few together. Think it is FOC.
If you do have some form of transport its worth asking your vet also. Ours hold days where you can bring your horses to be weight and assessed and general health check FOC also. Its like an awareness day that anybody can go along to

Just copied this from the spillers site:
If you have a yard of 10+ horses, our nutritionists may be able to visit you for a consultation, which is totally free. Please call the Care-Line team on 01908 226626 team for further details.
We had the whole yard done so were well over the 10.

We've had Spillers come to our small DIY yard for the past couple of years. It's all free, the advice is good and general, they don't push their own products too much. I can really recommend them.
We usually get about 12 horses together, and they prefer to come out during the week for smaller yards, keeping weekend days for large yards. Just send them an email via the Spillers site, and they will put you in touch directly with the person responsible for your area. I think they have 3-4 reps that cover different parts of the county. Then you arrange a date with that person directly that fits in with their overall travel schedule. Be prepared for a bit of a wait (the sooner you book the better). We've always managed to schedule a time in the late afternoon/evening (starting 4-5pm) so that owners who work full time can also make it.
