Waffled a lot!
Just looking to getvan idea of what people in the nw pay for what facilities please.
I think for the North West, unless you're in the posh bit of Cheshire, £25 per week for DIY sounds about right., especially without a school. I'm from the North West originally and have always been amazed at how expensive livery is in comparison now I've moved away. I know my friend, who is on the edge of the Peak District, has set up a proper track livery (24/7 turnout all year, a huge barn shelter, individual stables if needed, a school, loads of land) but they tend not to be full because they struggle a bit getting people to pay the increased price.Thanks everyone.
Its a nice little private yard (will be 5 horses), good roomy stables, lots of turnout and grass (does get muddy) with a hardstanding turnout/track system for bad/muddy weather so horses will always have plenty of turnout. Great for cushings/lami/mud rash prone horses and elderly/arthiritic types. No school, but straight out onto endless tracks, bridleways and small, quiet lanes with amazing views. There are a few arenas nearby that could be hired/borrowed.
I was thinking £25/wk. What do you think?
