[emilylovesotis]

do you think this is a reasonable cost for Diy livery. £260 per month for:
Morning feed, change rugs, turnout
Brought back in and night feed.
haylege or hay included
sugar beet included
indoor school with lights
outdoor school with lights
lunging outdoor school
show jumps in field in summer

Is that list what it includes? If so it doesnt sound like DIY livery??
But fpor what you described sounds okay - I pay that for grass livery!

That sounds about right.
Mine are on grass livery and its £8 pw per horse.

That sounds very good, especially with it having both an indoor and outdoor school. I'd love either of those!!
I only pay £30 a month though

But that's only for a stable, grazing and bringing in at night - no bedding, hay, feed or facilities!

It doesn't sound like DIY to me..... everything but the mucking out is done for you.

I am on DIY & as many on the forum, we do everything, feed, hay, turnout, bring in, muck out.

My DIY consists of stable & grazing, unlimited use of indoor school, outdoor menege, jumping field with set of show jumps. We pay for hay, shavings, feed etc ourselves on top of livery bill but we can buy in from either YO or other places. I am charged £27.50p per week for that.

It's always hard to work out what DIY and livery yards offer.

Whereabouts in the country are you?

Costs seem to vary so much, sadly vastly more down in South East where I am

My DIY is purely DIY - i do EVERYTHING... and pay £164 a month for that privelidge! But then thats what i want and enjoy so yes thats a good deal!

Mine is on grass DIY with the option of stabling in really bad weather £110 per month, but I have to buy and do everything
