!!-so was just wondering how new prices compared

New price :
£58 per week,
inc Straw and hay (not great quality, no option to buy own)
Basic food (any extras need to buy yourself)
1 rountine a day (a.m. or p.m.)
restricted TO in winter, ok in summer

Now the added thing is that I work in a school and love doing my own pony so I actually do everything myself on weekends and holidays (my chioce I know

), so was wondering if anyone had comparable prices for DIY with morning routines on week days.

Any info would be amazing, thanks in advance

Gloucestershire yards:

last one was £31 per week (I think) for a large stable with rubber matting and an automatic waterer. All year round turnout, some hassle about getting a decent paddock though! Use of two outdoor schools (with full set of Jump for Joy SJs), and some very small XC fences in a large field. Was DIY so nothing else included, I got ad lib haylage at £10 per week (lovely stuff although the horse didnt like it!) and bought in shavings at about £6 per bale.

Current yard is £25 + VAT per week, all year round turnout, excellent paddocks really well maintained Fabulous outdoor school with mirrors and a great surface, plus a set of Jump for Joy SJs to use. I buy straw at £25 for a big bale, and hay (really nice quality, the horse loves it too!) at £3 per bale. Haylage also available but he likes the hay so much I havent bothered changing

I buy feed at £8 for a sack of Molichaff Show Shine and £10.50 for a sack of Dodson & Horrell Staypower Cubes from the local feed merchant, I use one sack of chaff and two of nuts per month.

BTW at my last yard the livery charges went up annually, never by that much, but usually by inflation?
 
Hi Splotchy,
Thanks for that is exactly the kind of info that I was looking for.

1 year ago it went up from £42 (incredibally cheap I know) to £50, and this October £50- £58. So basically my tight wallet is a bit put out by the £16 per ek increase in one year. But Im trying to work out if we are now average or expensive! Its so hard to work it all out
