Just wondering how much folk pay for DIY, Lothians area? Basic stable + grazing and haylage, not including bedding though. Have heard a whisper that my yard are putting their prices up by a fair whack :(

£30 per week for assisted DIY i.e. horses fed and turned out in the morning.

I can vary significantly depending on the yard and the facilities - I know some yards that are almost £50 per week for DIY.

I'm in the west, but I pay £30 per week for stable, all year turnout , trailer parking and storage. Have loads of hacking and rubber arena. Can get help with turnout if needed.

I've been to a place before that was £40 per week. Crap hacking and a school with 2 poles. Fields were on a bog and to add to that you had to pay an extra £25 per month for the muck heap! Talk about daylight robbery. :mad:

Includes weekday turnout and bring in, good quality hay/hayledge and straw.

We have the use of a sand school and a jumping paddock too :)

I pay £45 week for stable, grazing, hay and sawdust bedding. We have a floodlit sand school and good off road hacking. I think that is a reasonable amount.

I have in past paid £30/week for stable, grazing and had to buy my own shavings/hay on a yard with an indoor school....but the hacking was all on road and not so good.

Another place I had been on yard was about the same but included adlib hay but no bedding and had a sand school with pay as you go lights...but good hacking.
