DIY Livery.

I pay 150 a month, that includes stable, 24 turn out in summer, all hay and straw, flood lit rubber surface school, lunging pen and offroad hacking
 
I pay £60 a month - that includes 24/7 turn out all year - stable - no facilities though. Althought we ride 150 metres up the road and onto dartmoor

ETA - all hay during winter also.
 
£30 per week (works out at £130 a month over the whole year). Includes stable, all year group turnout (24/7 April-October), high quality hay and haylage ad lib, semi-flood lit sand school (outdoor), excellent hacking, on-site YO, trailer parking.
 
When I was on DIY (I'm on grass livery now) I paid £25 for stable and field at a BHS approved yard and £21 at a local yard all hay and bedding were extra. You could bring your own bedding in but had to purchase hay off the yard at both places which was an extra £8.00 a week on each.

BHS yard large outdoor school, plently of grazing with mare and geldings separate (24/7 in summer), a wash area, good sized lockers shared between 2/3. Kitchens, boardroom, trailer parking.

Other yard had medium outdoor school, individual lockers, trailer parking, all year turnout (24/7 in summer).
 
£16/week in summer for 24/7 turnout in big fields (mixed herd of around 20 horses) with stable in an American barn. Includes nothing else but hay, straw, haylage etc available to purchase. Hacking is good and there's a outdoor school (that needs digging, tbh - I may do that later

). There's a portacabin to store tack/rugs in with a little coffee & tea/changing room at one end. Seperate feed area and a covered tying up area for bathing, farrier visits etc.

Winter is £132.50/month including all hay & straw, I think it's £137.25 for haylage & straw. Horses are in at night, out during the day. It's a hunt master's yard, so I may be able to hitch a ride to meets every now and again

Not the poshest yard in the world but it's friendly and the fields & stables are tidy, which is what matters.

Extra services, turnout, mucking out etc are available, more expensive if a one off but better rates for a permenant thing eg turnout is £1.50 as a one off, but £1 if, say, you wanted it Monday-Friday.

ETA on site YO with dogs in the house and working gun dogs kennelled the other side of the yard - very useful! Arena is floodlit but we have to pay £1/hour for them (on a meter) which I think is ok. Hacking is great considering it's 15 mins drive from Cardiff city centre!
 
I've been quoted 50 a week when he is coming in at night. Includes hay and bedding. Just seems a bit pricey to me. I'm wondering if I should just rent the yard in the village I was offered. 2 stables, 3 paddocks hay barn and tack room for 150 a month and getting someone else in to share it.
 
Various yards have been:
£25/week + £5pw for straw (poor quality) and haylage, stable, turnout (not great or brilliantly maintained, 24hr in summer, in at nights in winter), outdoor school and not brilliant hacking.

£30/week to include stable, ad lib good quality straw and haylage, secure heated tack room, big stables, indoor and outdoor schools, good and well maintained turnout, xc course, off road hacking around farm, probably one of the best maintained yards I've seen.
 
£4.50 per day for stable and turnout and use of facilities at my uni yard.

Turnout - meant to be 6 days per week, 1 for poo picking although generally get a full week TO. Apart from the summer months it is only between 8am-3pm and with warning it could be not at all depending on the weather (never been told we cannot turn out though).
Facilities - only when not been used for lessons or pre booked - 2 x full set of SJ, outdoor and indoor schools (60x80) horsewalker and roundpen. Inc tack locker in the tack room.
Hay, straw, feed, etc not included. Trailer/lorry parking charged extra per day.
 
From the 3 yards I was at it varied from:

Yard 1 - £25 a week, included hay and straw, nice stable, field and school. Came about about £110 a month alltogether. Fairly strict to an extent.

Yard 2 - £40 a week, included nice stable,straw, hay, XC course, indoor school, 2 outdoors, bsja jump courses, horsewalker, free lessons but no turnout. (Was at college with me) Very strict there.
Came to about £170 a month alltogether.

Yard 3 - £10 a week, average stable, average field, no school (well part of field fenced off), no straw, no hay included but 24/7 turnout whenever really and very laid back. Typical old farm with a few stables put up!
 
I pay £125 for stable and grazing all yr t/o, and thats it, everything else I have to source myself I buy big bale of hay for £25 and shavings at 6.50....it's a nice yard with a school and hacking is fantastic right on the door step to windsor great park so mainly off road hacking.

depends on the yard and it's facilities
 
£125 a month (but it depends on size of horse). Get stable with rubber matting, haylage in the winter, turnout and bring in (but not rug change) in the winter, floodlit school, secure tack room, own locker in feed room, access onto bridlepath from the back gate, hay fields to ride round, 24/7 TO in summer, jump paddock and grass dressage arena in the summer. Plus it's very friendly which is a major bonus!
 
£35 a week, stable, individual turnout all year round, floodlit 60x40 outdoor arena, individual tack locker, off road hacking, horsewalker, lunge pen. Services are available and we have to buy forage and bedding from YO. Solarium and hot water wash box we have to buy tokens for too.
 
£75 a month per horse (I have 2) for stable (24/7 turnout during the summer, then in at night from October to May), we have a semi-floodlight outdoor sand school and can hack straight out the back gate onto fields (although to go further we need to do a bit of road work), YO onsite and will feed them in the morning if you want and if your really stuck she will bring them in for you in the eve. We have to buy in our own hay and straw ect though
 
£20 week includes all year turnout and stable no facilities though hay for sale on site buy my own shavings and feed

there's feed room and tack room (tacks kept at home)

self filling troths
 
£130 a month which includes stable, all year grazing, use of huge arena (I think it might be something random like 65x40m), either BI or TO mon-fri.

Have to buy our own bedding from the yard, £3 a session for the horsewalker, hay/haylage and feed.
 
I pay £130 a month to rent my own yard, attached to owner's house, with plenty of grazing and stabling, water, electric, lights etc. OK hacking and within riding distance of a school we can hire, but in summer we use our flat paddock.
 
i was paying £15 per week with my own paddock,and straw included hay on site for £2.50 a bale,no feed room or tack room.
farmer as just informed us that as from next month, rent will be £20 week,and straw will be £1.50 a bale. luckily for us he as not put the price of his hay up yet.
also the spare land we use to get to our field as been sold to a developer, so when the houses are built,we will have to get to field using the road.

At my yard it is £40 a week, coming in at night. No feed or bedding included.

If you could find someone else to rent the little yard with you it would work out cheaper.
 
I pay £100 a month. That includes turnout (daytime only) and stable (at night, all year round) use of indoor and outdoor schools, both huge and maintained to an excellent standard.
