I know it varies quite a bit across the UK but Im just wondering if 32.50 a week diy but including haylage is reasonable? I was at this yard in the summer, new owners have come in and taken over and put the price up and there are going to be more facilities.
 
I use to pay 320 x 2 each month for full livery and now pay 200 each month for a field for 8 horses. It also depends if your horse is turned out all day with or without haylage during summer months and if you have been given a limit on it ie
half a small bale a day or unlimited. Also what facilities are available

Sounds good to me. I am shortly moving back to my old yard and it is £33 per week for grass (individual paddock) and stable, I think this is quite average.
I would be very happy to pay £32.50 a week and get hay included personally :)
 
I pay £25 a week and that includes the outdoor school, turnout, x-country course, Horse wash bay, 3 mile gallops and 250 acres of off road hacking.

Basic livery a week works out for me £36.25 (Straw, Hay & Stable)

Indoor School is £5 for 2 hours (use when you want) £3 for 20 mins for the horse walker.
Huge Hay bales are £25, Haylege is £25 and Straw is £20 and they last me about a month.
 
Well seeing as I pay £30 a week with no haylage I'd say that's a great deal!!

But I suppose it depends on what area you are in as to whether it is or not...
 
i pay 23 pound a week for diy that includes lge stable 30 by 60 outdoor and field use

extras i have are
haylage 5.50 a week
shavings 3.25 a week

so works out similar

im in north wales
 
I pay £50 PCM per horse. Includes stables for each (3), 24/7 all year turnout of a choice of 2 large fields and a smaller area with a lot less grass in for my rather fat pony, bedding, hay, electricity and water. Although it's full D.I.Y. and no lovely school to ride in, however I am allowed to build my own XC course around the edge of a different field! (which I will get round to doing at some point!) :)

Knew I was lucky but didn't realise quite HOW lucky til now.. choice of grazing (24/7), use of 3 stables and feed room. £5 per week. For both! And my new trailer also lives there 24/7.
 
At the moment we pay £120 per month, roughly £29.69 per week.
We get adlib haylage and Straw between November-May, other times of the year if your horse needs to be in you have to buy your own in (though you can use last year straw if any left) For instance, those of us with poor doers have just clubbed together and bought a lot of hay to top up our horses til November comes.

there's a floodlit school-sometimes the surface can be a bit iffy as it gets used a lot but my daughter is trying to talk the YO into letting her loose with the harrow thing

year round turnout-you can leave your horse out all year round if you want

miles of beautiful off road hacking

xc jumps (these are interspersed in various turnouts for the horses)

and wonderful people! (for the most part)

mymare note your in Scotland.Where are -may just drop by and join you!!£5 per week!MY OH would be beating a path to yours at that price!
 
I'm incredibly lucky. I pay £7 a week for Dee's stable and field and to park the trailer :D
The horses are only there because the owners like to see them in the fields :p In the summer the lady will often be seen on her deck chair sat by the fence watching the horses with her book or knitting, she finds them therapeutic to watch. And they don't need to make money out of us so having the horses there is as much a hobby to them as it is to us :D:D
 
Blimey, what variations!

I pay 40 per week for stable, straw, hay, 7 day week turnout and full use of facilities which includes sand school, jumping paddock in spring/summer/autumn and 300 acre farm to hack on.
20 per week for my horses that are at grass all year which includes full use of facilities and I buy haylage bales at 25 in the winter months.

I'm obvioulsy in the wrong part of scotland............I want to be at the £5 per week yard!!!!

I pay £10 per week haylage and £7 per bale shavings, I need 5 bales per month in winter [which has already started!]
When I bought my own haylage it worked out about a £1 per day.
 
Full livery £415 that includes hay more if u want hayledge , plus extra for bedding say about £30 on average per month. Full size mirror lined indoor and 2 massive outdoors for only about 10 liveries
so it's never busy to ride. Top class care for horse too :-)
 
£25 per week summer and £50 in winter (includes hay/haylage/shavings)

I think it sounds like a great deal - other yards I have been on have charged £7 - £10 a week extra for hay/haylage but I know of others that charge far more.
