I'm in the Midlands

I would pay roughly
1 - £260 pcm
2- £200 pcm
3 - £120pcm

Availability of off-road hacking and whether poo picking was required would also influence my decision

 

[Abacus]

Yard 1: £250
Yard 2: £250
Yard 3: £110 but the lack of water is very off-putting

Yard 1 and 2 have pros and cons so I think they are about equal, all things considered. You don't mention mucking out so I assume you are doing this one each yard, and also that the bring ins / turn outs mentioned are free or at least cost the same on each yard.

Thankyou for your replies!

These are the prices they actually are:

Yard 1 - £282 + £15pm for haylage - no muching out included
Yard 2 - £120pm - no mucking out but can turn out and bring in, change rugs etc, all for free.
Yard 3 - £140pm

This is a lil exercise i did for friends (long story).

i was actually at yard 2 for 7 years and love it, still go back to see them as they are like family. unfortunately it is 35miles from home as i moved. so i went to yard 1, unfortunately it was not what i was expecting and so im moving to yard 3 tomorrow. i am really excited as it has such a great atmosphere and is a lovely little place. These are all in kent
