I have been asked by an existing DIY livery to give her a daily rate price for full livery. It's been yonks since I did a full livery so am a little stumped as to what to charge.

I was thinking along these lines.

Winter am:- feed breakfast, change rugs, turnout, muck out stable (deep littered straw) fill haynets, water buckets etc.
Winter pm, bring in, pick out feet, groom, change rugs, feed.

How does £10 per day sound.

Summer - (on 24hr turnout) am, check horse, feed, apply fly repellent and fly mask/rug.
pm, check, feed, remove fly mask/fly rug.

for this I thought £5 per day?

Does this sound reasonable or too much?

Thanks - any advice much appreciated.
 
Sounds fine, just as a guidline my YO charges £7.50 a day for day livery.

That includes: morning feed, evening feed, haynets, muck out, waters, turnout, bring in.

It is more for rugs, feet pick and grooming.

So you are on the right lines.
 

Thing is, it would mostly be weekends and holidays. It isn't going to be a 7 days a week thing. The young girl who owns the horse spends some time living with her mum (just up the road, so she can attend to her own horse then) and some time at her dads, which is when I would be needed to do full livery. I think I may reduce it by £1 a day though, seems a bit expensive to me.
 

No. Feed they provide themselves and I supply haylage and straw - these are priced into their monthly livery charge. So price is just for the jobs.
 
I currently pay around £13.50 a day and this includes totally everything and my horse if throughally looked after - mucked out, fed, hay, rugged, groomed and includes all hay/feed and shavings etc
