A frickin fortune!!

Livery is £35 a week
Shavings usually £20/£30 a month
Hay £30/£40 a month
Feed £20/£30 a month
Feet £15 every 7 weeks...
It does vary but usually around £250 a month and thats without all the little extras!

 

[Stinkbomb]

monthly averaged out

Stable and unlimited turnout and morning feed £80.00
Hay £3.00 ( i kid you not! )
Shavings £8
Wormer £2.00 ( one lasts me 6 months )
feed £4.00
Feet £7.50
Insurance horse and trailer £31.00
Trailer storage £ 10.00

Basically £145.50 then adding vacinations, show entries etc

 

[Lucy_Ally]

Between £200-250 per month. Less during the summer as she is out 24hrs.

 

[chestnut cob]

£40 a week for DIY livery (inc water, hay, stable, grass, straw)
£54 every 6 weeks for shoes
£42 a month for insurance
About £120 a year for jabs and teeth
£18 per lesson or for instructor to school him, as often as I book them

The rest depends on how much and what I feed, which competitions I go to, whether I have to hire a lorry etc.

 

[xxcharlottexx]

£15 a week for Livery
£35 every 7 weeks for shoes, though its just gone upto £40 so will be changing farriers as he wasnt worth the £35!
£3.50 per bag of shavings and use about 1 a week (only in winter)
£11 every 2weeks for hayledge (again thats for winter, its less in summer...still finishing old bale and he wont eat its as hes stuffed from the grass)

insurancec is just over £300 but that includes 100% LOU
other feed about £10-15 a month

 

[kcgibson]

£10 per week for field/stable
£50 per 8 weeks for shoes
£14 per 13 weeks wormer
£23 per month insurance

Then in winter, all the above plus...
£10 per 2 weeks hard feed
£5 per week straw
£20 per 3 weeks haylage

vets fees are free (perk of working at vets!)

 

[mollymurphy]

Hmmm...this is scary!

3 horses. Livery includes ad lib hay and straw - £25 per week, so £300 per month for the 3.

Shoes every 6 weeks - £60 per full set for 2 of them, £30 for front shoes for the other, so £150 every 6 weeks.

Insurance is about £350 per year, per horse...i think!

All good-doers, so not much hard feed - handful of Happy Hoof each once a day in the winter, and only after hard work in the summer.

Plus the usual wormers, vaccinations, and any extras from shopping trips! Oh and trailer insurance...and petrol.

Oh, and one is on cortiflex as well!

Dont want to add it all up, because i'm scared, and i graduate from uni this week, so will have to get a job and start contributing more!!!

[Blizzard]

I darent work it out!

I try not to look at bank balance!

 

[celia]

£80 a month livery + £40ish for hay (straw is included)
Feet £10 (done every 8 weeks)
Fatty native so only on happy hoof + supplement so about £10 per month for feed.
Wormer about £4 a month.
Parents pay insurance so not sure how much that is

So minus lessons (which are sporadic atm

) that's about £145 per month.
Less in summer as she's out 24/7!

This will be increasing though when my new girl arrives!

Hmmm think I am getting ripped off on my DIY grass livery at £3.50 per day including nothing else.

 

[MillionDollar]

Never been on livery as i live on a farm, but my 5 cost me about £80 per month (hay, straw, stables, turnout, etc is free), so only pay for farrier and feed, mum pays for wormer and insurance at the mo.

But im starting a livery yard in the next few months. Grass livery is £25 per week (includes hay, checked at least twice a day and poo picked 3/4 times a week). DIY will be about £45-£50 (includes hay, straw and use of loads of facilities). Will aslo do assisted DIY.

 

[charlyan]

Per month:

£55 DIY livery
£20 Hard feed (£60pm hay in winter)
£50 Supplement
£33 Insurance
<u>£20 extras</u> (apples, carrots, towards rugs, etc)
£178

every couple of months:
£20 hoof trimming
£15 worming (3months)

Does seem a lot, I pay £16 p/week for grass livery but have the use of a stable if required. Only staying there whilst my grass grows in my own paddocks but generally grass livery is arounf £15-20 a week in my area.

 

[bex1984]

£20/week livery - includes straw when he's stabled
£2.75/bale of hay - I expect him to eat 6-8 bales a month in winter, he's not really having any now
£8 bag of happy hoof, should last 4 months in summer, probably will last 2 months in winter
£15 having his hooves trimmed every 10 weeks approx
£20 on insurance, although this will soon double when i get rid of my high excess!!

I think mine is fairly cheap to keep, although obviously there's all the trips to the tack shops and little things like fly spray to add in!

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

In summer

shoes £60 every 6-7weeks

insurance £10 a month

stable £100 a month

wormers £15 approx every 8 weeks

food including supplements £7 a week

In summer she costs about £180-£200 a month

In winter the same as above plus hay at about £4 a week
shavings at about £7 a week

In total over winter i reckon its £280-£300 a month

Sadly this doesnt include extras like tack, clothing and accessories/essentials for the yard
