Is this a common livery option?

For those who know yards that do it - what does it include and approx how much does it cost?
Oh and what area are you in (as obviously will vary around the country!)
 
South. We did basic - two checks a day and winter (when needed circa 6months hay and/or haylage) feeding for 200/month. Had emergency stables, hard standing and school.

Full (rugging, feeding, vet, farrier, winter feeding - everything bar riding) was so dependant on horse though. We didn't discount ponies as fed all year and patched so had to poo pick not harrow. full was always tailored as some would turn out and leave without rugs, basic trims and just want checks done. Whereas another full livery would have shoes, patched and rugged. So each contract and price was very different.
 
i paid £150 a month inc hay/haylege/checks/feet and feed

stable/hard standing available (stabling overnight etc was extra) but they had field shelters etc as standard :)

north west.
 
£234 a month, checked couple times a day. Hay, hard feet, check, feet etc. then use of all facilities on site which are plently. Stable, schooling available if needed at extra cost.
We are in berkshire
 
Thanks, good to know it exists at a reasonable price! For those who are on, or have used it in the past, did you have trouble finding a suitable yard?
 
Not really, but it is at the same yard where our mare is on part livery. Having said that. If I wasn't at the yard already I would not have known as they don't advertise it.
 
The one I was at was advertised but a lot seem to be word of mouth located. I'm not sure how profitable it is or how many issues arise such as owners not turning up or seeing to things such as farriers or vetinary needs, but I suppose it depends on the original contract and who does what.
