DIY What do you get??

i pay 38 per week diy livery dont know how this fares compared to what otherspay? i start really early at work in morning so agreementwe have is the other lady puts my horse out and does morning feeds in exchange i take hers (7) in and do evening feeds - not evry day most days, we share fields there is use ofa sand paddock it includes stable,straw, haylage and hard feed i'm happy although i feel that slowly she is beggining to want me to do a lot more for her in exchange for turning out and giving my 1 horse a feed. other than as above wedoeverything ourselves
 
I pay £88 per calender month, for that i get a 12x12 stable, plenty of storage for rugs and bits and bobs, a secure tack room. Shared turnout ( split mares and geldings) with plenty of grass and fencing + grazing is well maintained. Use of 40 x 20 rubber/sand school and access to lots of off road hacking we also get hayledge included through the winter months and can buy bedding off the YO at cost ( 5.50 a bale!)
However there is no option for assisted so we all have to rely on each other if we are away and in the winter i share turnout with a friend ( 1 brings in 1 turns out )
We are pretty much left to our own devices however we have a worming plan and get told when grazing is rotated and odd times in the winter if the ground is really really bad we are told to keep the horses in.
 
£20 a week for stable in american barn, individual turnout, all weather school, sand school (very deep and nearly always flooded so don't ever use it!) and jump field with a good range of show jumps. Everything else is up to us, only problem is that we have no storage for hay and bedding and YO is now not supplying hay! It's really not cheap to buy per week!!
 
Mine are on DIY, I pay £18 a week for the smaller box and £22 for the larger. I get box and turnout, turnout is 24/7 in summer but restricted in the winter and there is a small menage. There is nobody working at the yard so holiday cover etc is up to individuals.
The yards is mainly left to its own devices, which is mainly good as you are free to come and go as you please i.e. there very little rules about how early or late you can ride.
There are a few probs with people not getting on with each other but then every place with more then 3 people has that.
 
£85 a month for stable, storage area and secure tack room. Hay and straw available at extra cost, as are all livery services. All year turnout in small groups, 24/7 in summer, daytime only in winter. Jumping paddock with full set of showjumps, some mini cross country jumps, sand school, limited off road hacking, but only 1 mile to the woods.

Very few rules, just common sense ones really (be considerate to other liveries, dogs on leads, no smoking etc). All maintenance is included.
 
I pay £38 per week you get:
Stable
Post and rail single sex field
Small individual storage
Use of all 4 schools
Use of all other facilities
If you leave you feed outside stable they will give breakfast
And you can pay extra for turn out or week livery
 
I pay £92 a week for stables and year round turnout for 5 ponies. Trailer storage is also included in that. Its elec fenced, I have 1 grass and 2 starvation paddocks between the 5 of them. Theres lots of off road hacking and an outdoor riding area with jumps but use of the indoor school is extra as is hay, straw etc. YO is on site and does part/full livery too but I much prefer to do everything myself.
 
I pay £108.33 per calendar month and get:

Decent sized stable
All year shared turnout (seperate fields for mares and geldings). Fields very boggy in the winter though.
Use of wood chip area - It's not a proper arena - just woodchips on top of the grass so gets v slippery in the rain and is unusable unless it's very dry
Use of 20x20ish indoor wood chip arena with lights
Use of jumping paddocks and good selection of jumps
Access to miles and miles of off-road hacking
Yard is supervised during the day but YM doesn't live on site.

I have to buy wormers, hay and feed on top of this and am billed seperately by the YO for what I use. I can also pay £2 extra a time for t/o or bring in and £15 a day for full livery.
 
Sorry - meant to add that in addition to below

( £42 per week including haylage & shavings and feeds being chucked in in morning / evening. Yard brings my girl in at night in exchange for me turning out a livery in the morning.)

I have unlimited haylage, use of indoor school, outdoor jumping paddock and individual turnout. Generous space in tackroom. Beach hacking is 5 mins away.
 
I currently pay £22 a week each, and I get a stable (in barn), and turnout - my mare and gelding, plus another mare. We also have a new 20x40 outdoor floodlit, and an indoor but thats so dusty no one uses it! No bedding/forgage/feed included but you have to buy his hay at £30 a big bale or the cost is £30 a week. The hay imo is very overpriced, although it is nice hay, granted.

I'm moving in 2 weeks to my own field with 2 stables, for £10 a week each. I actually cant wait!!
 
I currently pay £65 a month- thats just for stable and grazing. Everything else I buy on top of that. I'm looking to move soon in the Hertfordshire area and wonder how much I should expect to pay? I called about one yard which has 12 horses and this was £20 a week. It doesn't have a school just stable and grazing (personally not sure if there is enough). Any advice gratefully received!

Flaming heck, what a bargain!

I pay £30 per week, for this i get;
A stable, some storage space, all year turn out, there is one school to use, water & electric
The owners live on site and do a jolly good job of running the place too

Anything & everything else is extra

£180 a month (!!) for stable, shared turnout (two horses- although everywhere we go in Surrey the grass is pretty rubbish so its not really worth it.) water, electricity, small bit of storage in tack room and a bit out in the barn for haylage, spare rugs, bedding etc. You have to pay on top for bedding and haylage (She takes all the free shavings for her horses cause you get like 1 free bale for every 20 you buy when you deliver dont you?) and buy the feed yourself. It costs quite alot and looking at some of the prices you pay sometimes I wonder if its worth it but the owners live on sight and the yard manager lives close by. It is well run.
 
I pay £12 per week for a stable, and £8 a week for full grazing. There is no winter turnout. When haylage is fed, its £8 a week for adlib. straw is £2 a bale.

The yard owners do 3 feeds a day for the horses who are stabled, and they turnout either in the mornings or whenever you ask them to. Feeds and turnout are free!!

We have two sand paddocks and a grass riding paddock, and we each have our own tack room. water, electricity, toilet, kettle, trailer parking, show jumps. Use of all the facilites are free.
The yard owners live on site, and the yard is quite well managed.
 
Ours isn't livery as such. We rent three stables (2 used as stables, the other as a tack room) and have 2.5 acres, water and electricity. We paid to have a hay/storage barn added on. There's an old cow pen we have use of if the neds have to be in for whatever reason. That costs £170/month for all of it

The last livery yard we were on we had use of a new sand& rubber school (with floodlights), individual turnout, water, electric, and two indoor stables and that was £22 per week per horse (I think)
 
I pay £20 a week for grazing and stable.

As my horse lives out as much as possible I barely use the stable - last year she was stabled at night for two weeks, and this year for 6 weeks during the worst of the wet weather. However, when I do use the stable, I don't have to pay for straw and all my hay is free. I do supplement her grazing with hay all year round if needed as she has laminitis so can't have too much rich grass.

There is one other mare (my horses mother) so we sort out restricted grazing and poo-picking between us. I have a storage shed, trailer parking and my cart is kept under cover. I now have water in my girls part of the field so no longer have to carry it over if the tank runs out. There is no school, but at certain times of the year I can ride on the farms fields so I don't have to go on the roads to access the bridlepath.

I could actually get better facilities quite locally for the same money, but my horse is happy, I like the people, and when I'm not there she is looked after by the lady who bred her.
