We are down the A12 a bit from the Suffolk/Norfolk border, but that livery is £325 p/month incl. hay and shavings (and hard feed too).

Hay varies from £2.50 - 3.50 for small baled hay, last winter we were paying £3.50 for v. good hay. Heston bales are £30 for reasonable hay. Shavings vary from £7 to £9 inc. Vat.

Farrier is £65 for new, £60 refits.

I think livery costs decrease slightly as you head further towards Norfolk, however it will obv. vary a bit depending upon the yard

I'm on the West Sussex/Surrey boarder and around here full livery can vary from £450-800 per calender month, although if you aren't wanting riding or exercising then you may be able to get part-livery.

DIY livery in Sussex/Surrey is on average between £25-35 a week. I pay £87 per calender month for DIY - including all year turn-out in small groups, large stable, use of indoor school and schooling fields and jumps.

Straw is on average £10 a bale and I'm currently paying £35 for a large bale of hay.

Farrier's vary from around £60-75 for a full set of shoes, although I pay £25 for a trim.

Shavings - vary from about £6.50-£9, although our lcoal feed merchant is selling their own brand for £6 at the moment.
