Is this a reasonable Price?

[Fruddy]

I've recently started sharing my horse. He was diagnosed with mild arthritic changes to the pasterns late last year and has had quite a while off work, however, he is now being lightly ridden each day, although not allowed to jump anymore or do prolonged fast work.

I advertised for an adult sharer for him, three days a week. I was upfront from the start about his arthritis as I didn't want to mislead anyone as to what his capabilities were.

He's a full livery horse (approximate cost to me per month inclusive of everything - farrier etc. of £800.00)

I am asking for a contribution of £100.00 per calendar month for a three day per week share, to include one weekend day. He is on a yard with excellent facilities - indoor/outdoor schools etc and obviously no mucking out or other stable duties.

Do you think this is a fair price to ask?

I think its very fair.

 

[Chex]

I would say very fair as well, they're getting him almost half of the time, and paying much less than half the money.

 

[Baggybreeches]

I would say so. Sounds like excellent VFM for the sharer.

 

[EmmaC78]

Yes, sounds fine to me. Good luck finding someone.

More than fare when you think of how much people spend to have lessons. £25 per week is pretty good for someone just wanting to do some light hacking.
