Grass Livery Surrey

[Sarah20]

How much would you, or do you pay for grass livery in surrey including hay per month?
Not sure what the going rate is but seems to be a lot less than what im paying!!

I know when I was grass livery a year ago it was £88 a month. I think same yard based in Leatherhead now charges £100 they have space for a few more at present if interested PM me and I'll give you owners contact details.

I only know of 1 place - about 3 miles from me & they were charging £25 or £30 a week all year round when a friend enquired last summer.
That is grass livery - they are checked twice daily, rugs are also checked if wearing them, also includes hay in winter once or twice a day as weather dictates.
Owners have to provide hard feed that can be chucked out in the field (or come up & remove their Fuzzy to feed it)
Fields are big so they can rotate & harrow, no poo-picking.

Seems a reasonable set up

I pay 120 not including hay. We do have our own shelter, though and amazing hacking.

Wow, I am paying 3x that a month!!!
Hes meant to share a stable and be in occasionally however "occasionally" is never in the past 2 months. Constantly been living out in the field, just has hay & rug changes and thats it. Hence why im saying grass livery because now i feel like im being done over as im sure grass livery should be way cheaper - no shavings etc. I wish some people were not so money generated and half the time im too nice to say anything!!! I don't think i should be paying for something im not getting

The yard I was at is called Thorncroft http://www.thorncroftstables.co.uk/
Andrea who runs yard is fab! I kept my horse there for 3 years but moved as needed indoor/outdoor school for my boys dressage.

I know where they are!! I used to live 10minutes up the road and occasionally went past as you can cut round the back to the leisure centre - i never managed to find anything on a search for livery on the Dorking road, now i know why as they are not directly on the Dorking road . Thnx for that, huge help!!

A pleasure. Hope you like it! I've only moved round the corner I'm at Woodlands farm (Downside livery) with Sarah Fell - On DIY. I only moved to get access to better facilities but if you want decent grass livery Thorncroft is fab.
