Livery. Discounts for multiple horses?

I got £30 a month knocked off my second horse- there were 4 empty stables not being used and I couldn't afford to pay an extra £85 a month . I really appreciate it as it helps a lot and make sure I put 110% in to keeping the facilities smart and in working order
 
It would be nice but realistic ally its not going to happen!

Regardless of whether 2or more horses are owned by different people or the same one they still need a stable each take up the same about of room etc .

The only maybe is if the owner rides them themselves at separate times in the arena etc.
Instead of a family with multiple horses or sharers riding at the same time so the horses would be ridden like if they were owned by two separate people.
 
I was on a yard. I had my horse & my children's pony....I got a 50% reduction in the pony's livery. Pony only used facilities (school etc) once in a blue moon & as my 2 just went out together it saved the YO a lot of hassle & politics.
However it did backfire on me as whenever she needed a stable due to rearrangements, my pony was always the first to have to be moved. She ended up move 4 times in 3 months eventually & ended up in a cobbled together pen that was too small :(
YO had me over a barrel though & I couldn't complain as she would just tell me it was for a full paying livery!
 
I have three liveries each with 2 horses and I'm afraid they don't get a discount as the costs involved - water, electricity, rates, feeding, bedding insurance, staff wages etc - don't vary. However the RDA group based with us has 3 at livery and they do get a discount plus a lot of other things very cheap or free including use of some of my horses and ponies, electricity for their caravan and school etc.
