Two options:

Option 1: Full livery, 4 bales of bedding per month, hay, feed, turnout, use of facilities. Supplements, shoeing, vet and training excluded.

Option 2: As above, with horse in full training. 4 dressage training sessions per week (some can be lessons). The other 2 sessions mixed between stretching, hacking, jumping or fitness work.

Thanks!
 
Depends on location and facilities available. Also the quality of hay/feed/bedding available.

I would never have my horse in full livery again, but when I did I was paying the equivalent of part livery + £10 for 30 mins schooling/hacking etc by a dressage rider.
 
She was schooling him 4 times a week + I paid for 2 separate lessons so it was the equivalent of £10 per 30 mins session on top of what I paid for part livery (not cheap). This was in the south east.
 
At the yard I currently stable my horse I pay £75 a week full livery that includes; one bale of shavings a week (though normally have more), hay/hayledge , primary feed i.e. nuts/chop. And use of all facilities.

Last year when I kept my horse on a professional show jumping yard, I paid £100 a week which included all of the above, plus ridden everyday and competed at weekends (paid extra for classes entered). This was at ‘mates’ rates so I’m unsure what the ‘going’ rate is.
 
Wow full livery where I am now is £112.50 and it is pretty much option 1. But couldn't be happier with the care my horse is getting.
 
I was on Part Livery which was Option 1 at a yard with 2 outdoor and 1 indoor school, horse walker, wash box with hot water and heat lamps, indoor lunge pen, parking for the lorry and 250 acres to ride round. Individual turnout which was 24/7 in summer and every day bar hunting days in the winter. Cost me £80 a week. No extra charge for any of the facilities (including floodlights). £10 a month to park the lorry was extra.

Round here (SW/Gloucestershire area) Option 1 is usually about £80 a week, having researched extensively!
 
i have one horse with a good 4*** rider and pay the following;

£50/week for option 1
£15/ride (she normally rides 5 times a week)

other yards around here charge around £70/week but there aren't many riders i would trust to ride my horses without supervision.
 
Full livery at my old yard was about £460 a month..... Basic bedding, half a bale of hay a day, basic feed, turnout (limited and low quality), use of facilities but no riding.

I was on assisted DIY, and no way would I have paid full livery prices as the quality of everything was lower than I find acceptable

Wow I want to live where you lot live!!

I'm on part livery - with feed, hay, bedding and t/o, mucking out etc it's £500 a month. Around here this ranges from 485-680 a month for the above.

Full livery is obviously alot more expensive - found one yard the other day that was £880 a month!!
 
My friend charges £250 a month; this includes turnout, mucking out, bedding, basic chaff and nuts feed, hay , bedding, binging in; No exercise and there's only a small but good manege. Hacking is excellent though.

I think she's mad, far too cheap!
 
Couldn't afford any of it!

If someone sends me a horse though, they're treated the same as my own - same quality of care n feed, got school, SJ, XC, lovely hacking, loads of individual P/R turnout..
Option 1 - £120
Option 2 - £150
I think I'm undervaluing myself!!
 
My horse is currently away being backed and as such is on full liveryand being worked 4/5 times a week. Am paying £130pw all inclusive...am in NW
