Just out of interest what do you get for the price you pay?

In summer ours are roughly £50 a week. This is 3/4 livery so they feed, hay in the week. We do it at weekends. This includes all feed and haylage (allthough we pay a little extra if we give them extra hay) Then in winter same price but they add the price of how many bales we have used

Facilities wise we have all off road hacking, a properly lit indoor school, pretty old stables

So what do you pay?
 
I pay £30 a month and get a stable and a 1 and half acre field shared with another horse. That's it - no menege or school but great hacking and VERY cheap!
 
Summer - I pay £30 a week DIY including my own stable and a shared field. The yard has an indoor and outdoor school, xc course, 120 acres off road hacking. Have to buy hay and straw and hard feed from yard though.

Winter - I pay £55 a week FULL including my own stable and a shared field, all hay and straw and hard feed, muck out, turn out, feed and rug changes.
 
I know, am really lucky and we only pay for the wrapping when we cut the haylede, so the big square bales that are usually about £25-£30 - we get for £9!!!

Its an old school friend of mine. She moved into a house with 22 acres and 11 stables. She had 3 horses and I had one. We were happy.......then my son bought his little lot of mixed shapes and sizes. Think there are about 15 there now!!!
 
£30 inc hay & straw a week in winter for stable huge turnout only with 2 other mares, use of floodlit school great hacking and jumps!!
and its literally next door to my house!!
 
I pay £25 per week, with 3 mile cross country course, 60 acres of hacking, brand new stable with rubber matting, 80 x 40 school.. have to buy straw/hay from same yard but is really cheap as they cut there own.. and own paddock
 
£65 a week. All bedding, hay and hard feed included, plus she is turned out and brought in, legs cleaned and rugs changed. All horses fed and hayed at the same time.

Have a foodlight school and good hacking, plus trainer on site for advice etc...and opportunity to travel mine to shows on her lorry.

Its expensive but i love it, so i wouldnt go anywhere else.
 
Mines £15/week. For that I have a huge stable (16x14), as much turnout as I like (6 acres for 2 horses - YOs pony and Tills), storage for hay, mucking out stuff etc, sink and running cold water, kettle, microwave, and the tackroom is pretty big considering there is only 2 of us and we have some lovely big floodlights for the yard when its dark (as well as for stables, tackroom and barn).

All the fences, hedges, gates etc are well maintained and YO checks Tills for me nice and early every morning, turns her out if she's in and doesn't need a rug chnage or puts her in if its really miserable and pony is soaked. She'll also hay and feed them if they're in and she'll do her for me if mum or I can't manage it for a day or two (any longer and we have a housesitter who does all the animals!!). We share the job of poo-picking the fields and I'll bring the little man in/move paddocks/feed in the evenings as she works late - IMO I may as well do them both at the same time as the are either in or out together!

I think I have a really good deal!! She buys in straw which I buy off her as I need it but I am responsible for my own hay, shavings and feed - atm we have just cut hay from 4 acres of the field though so if I want to buy it off her I can while it lasts.

Nada, nuffink, zilch!

My horse is kept at a friends home with her horses and ponies.

Have stable but ponio is out 24/7 but its good that he can come in if required. No school though but the most amazing hacking! Very good natural grazing too.

I do however pay for things where I can, like I sorted out the wormers for the lot and do big tasks to help like pulling up ragwort/clearing hay barn etc.

I pay for my share of hay and get my own feed.

If I cant make it she'll check him for me, change a rug etc if needed.

I also help her with her youngster and let her dogs out if she is in work so its a nice friendly share
