...our full liveries are not far off that!!
 
Now at different yard on full livery but up until just before Christmas was at a nearby yard on assisted DIY which cost £160 per month. This consisted of morning feed/hay handed out and turn out (2 or 3 times per week in winter dependant on weather) and use of floodlit school.

 
I pay £28 a week (for assisted livery - on top of stable & grazing), for feed am, rug change, t/o, muckout, bring in, pick out feet & change rugs.
Feed is given with all the others am, and YO charges £2 to turnout & bring in, and £2 to muck out.
 
132 per month for box rent and giving feeds 3x a day. Everything else on top for £8 per day - give or take. Is within the M25 though so probably a lot more than anywhere else ;(
 
£125/month for stable and haylage, plus turnout and bring in included, but £1 for rug change. They will also put a net in for them when they come in if you leave one ready.
 
At the moment my mum pays £160 a month for it. That is for turnout (include rug change if needed), feeding in the morning, putting a haynet up and putting in water depending on when they go out (on restricted grazing). When i was living over the other side of surrey and at a lovely competition yard it was £182 a month for the same service but the facilities were much better!
We are moving to a diy yard and thats £100 every 4 weeks but for £2.50 a day she will feed and turnout.
 
i pay £25 a week for stable, £17.50 for unlimited haylage and then pay for my straw on top of that as i use it. arena is free, altho lights work on a 50p meter and then other jobs (turn out, skip out etc) are on top- think most 'jobs' range in price from £1-£3

its all very confusing as i have 3 horses at the moment so i have no idea what everything is costing me!
 
We have assisted DIY available at our yard. Basically you just pay your normal DIY bill & then pay the groom for whatever she's done for you that week. She has a menu of fees depending on what you want done i.e. muck out, turnout, bring in, clip, etc.(her fees are too low IMHO)

Our DIY is stable & grazing, secure tack room, rug room, large storage area in barn for hay/bedding etc, large floodlit arena with quality surface, free lorry/trtailer parking & good security with cctv. We provide our own feed, hay, bedding. This is £20 p.w. & the YO is a really nice person who will consider any improvement that benefits the horses (She isn't horsey)

I pay £45 a week, for that I get

Two bales of bedding (Meggazorb or Shavings)
Huge Loddon box

Outdoor all weather school
off roack hacking as we are on a country estate

Fantastic value I think!
 
I pay £50 per week for stable & grazing, plus 5 days livery, inc. feeding, muck-out, in, out, rug changes, field poo-picked, etc. There's all year round turnout and horses can stay out 24/7 for 6 months+ if you wish (but my 'fatties' come in every day).
I don't get charged any extra for the occassional weekend (when on holiday), or holding for farrier/vet.
Also have free use of large outdoor menage with flood lights, off-road farm riding, etc.
I pay separately for hay and bedding (£3 hay and £1.50 for straw - carrots, haylage, shavings available too - all delivered to the stable), and provide my own feeds (although yard will supply certain brands if required).
I prep my own haynets and bag-up my feeds to help keep my costs down, plus I then know how much my horse is getting so it's easier to manage feeding against workload/weight.
There's a horsewalker (small charge) - oh and the yard is adults only ... heaven!
