I know this is nosy! If you don't mind saying but don't want to do it on an open foum feel free to PM it.

What type?
What does it include?
How much?
What do you pay for extras?

I'm doing a bit of research and your input would be really helpful

Im on DIY and its includes use of all the facilites, including, indoor and outdoor school, horse walker, own paddockm stable, riding round farm land and straw. I dont use straw though!
Its £25 a week, but I do pay extra for him to be turned out and brought in. I think its £1.50 for t/o and b/i plus rug change at 50p.
 
Oooo finally a post I can reply to about livery!

For all bedding, feed (ex supplements) ad lib haylage as much as needed, mucking out, turn out/bring in, rug changes, grooming, huge outdoor school, x country jumps, show jumps, great hacking it's £80 a week. Everything bar riding and exercise.
 
Daddy dave's rates are very reasonable. A lift to the pub every friday night, a few bars of chocolate on a weekly basis and the odd takeaway in exchange for stable, turnout, straw and haylage.

God the real world is going to kick me into touch pretty soon

Currently on DIY, with assistance if required (costs extra) floodlit school 60 x 35m woodchip, good T/O - in at night in the winter, some off road hacking (except you have to go down the road to get to it), 2-3 per paddock. £30 per week. About average for the area.

Horse is moving on Monday though, to DIY with assistance if she can - not guaranteed, nice stables, good t/o with own paddock if required, covered horse walker, 20 x 40 sand mix floodlit school, excellent hacking, (not off road, but quiet country lanes & BP's). that will be £20 per week. Pretty good, I think

I'm not sure if mine is called part or full, everywhere seems to have diff definitions!!
Anyway, my boy is looked after 7 days a week which incl all mucking out, turn out and bring in, rugs changed, feet picked out, feed, straw and hay. This costs £78/wk.
I should pay extra for individual t/o but don't, in exchange for it I poo pick the paddock (as thats what the cost would be paying for). I pay an extra £7 for YO to hack out, although I try to ride most mornings early b4 work. I also pay extra for lorry parking, £5/wk.
Facilities inc 20x45cm all weather floodlit menage, full set of SJ, a few XC fences, excellent hacking, YO lives on site and does late check as well.
Can't think of anything else!!

non assisted DIY is £18 pew week for my stable and shared turn out with 3 other mares.
Shavings are £4.75 and I can have ad lib hayledge for £7 per week.
Yard owners DON'T like you buying hay/shaving in really, but I buy in hay myself coz pony goes nuts on their stuff.
Have use of small wood chip indoor/sand rubber mix outdoor and some hacking.
YO's aren't really *that* in the know and obsess about the fields looking like lawns..

Looking to move!
 
Well, as I posted above, I pay £85 a week for t/o,b/in, no rug change, no hard feed, hay and straw and a tiny bed that gets mucked out daily. No picking out hooves, grooming, (bit hard to do with the rugs still on!) or anything else. I beliveve I might have to poo pick in summer as smaller paddocks but I will not be there if thats the case. Outdoor school only, poor hacking, no xc jumps or gallops. If I were to get rugs changed it would be £93 a month.

This is in Aberdeenshire, a very cheap part of the country. At least property is cheap here, (not that Aberdonians would agree, for some reason they harp on about it being very expensive). I think I would get cheaper full livery in the home counties!
 
Great yard, where I'm on assisted DIY. Pay £150 per month all year round, and they are in in winter and out in summer. We chose to have the cost 'evened out' in this way. It includes stabling - winter compulsory, summer, if we want - all bedding, all haylage and all feed (and feeding). There is an outdoor school, and a solarium. There is a large washing machine for washing rugs (£6 each, extra), and a large sewing machine for mending (extra). There is a very qualified instructor on site, who also has a lot on veterinary knowledge. Horses are inspected at least twice a day, in or out. Good grazing, excellent hacking.
 
I pay £100 a month (for two ponies so £50 a month per horse) which is just a 2acre paddock with field shelter and one stable. Running water and lighting/electricity and direct forest hacking, ten minute hack from school that is only £5 an hour to hire. Own private use though! WOOP WOOP!
 
i pay £50 a week for my two neds on DIY includes use of 3 schools, (1 indoor) gallops and walker, my own turnout field and parking for my lorry & trailer
 
Good god, I wouldn't be putting up with that, and yes I'm in london commuter belt and have what stables call part livery at £85 per week (7 day care). Includes ad lib good quality hay/haylage straw/shavings, hard feed, muck out, TO/BI and rug changes/bandages etc. Indoor school and private hacking. No riding or grooming included.
+ £2pw for lorry parking
 
I pay £35 a week to be in a constant battle with non horsey YM- leaving on sunday to go back home woohoo! For that there should be 4mx4m stable, small indoor school, 12 acres turnout for 12 horses, 2 haylage bales and 1 shavings. They also use your horse for non invasive vet practicals. In reality stable just 3mx3m, indoor school that can't use half the week as they can't be bothered to tidy teaching materials and they harrow ropey surface about once a term, probs bout 4 acres of poorly drained fields, and 2 mouldy and vermin attcked bales of haylage that I have to get angry about. They have given up using my horse I think as they are scared about the backlash they get from me about poor supervision and having no regard for my property!

XC Course
As much Straw as I want and Hay.

All for £130 a month

There! I knew it! I knew I would pay less in the Home Counties! Seriously, I'm paying a fortune, and was still paying a fortune in my last yard here too, but its in the flippin' north east of Scotland! And I'm made to feel guilty for it, like I should be grateful for the mucking out, its a real strange attitude.

Currently on DIY although I do have the odd 'extra' so maybe call it assisted DIY?

Stable and grazing (24/7 TO in summer, restricted to T/O paddock for a few hours in winter), use of outdoor school, use of indoor school if not in use by riding school, trailer parking, secure tack room and feed store, set of jumps in indoor, helpful and extremely knowledgable YO on site.

[/ QUOTE ] £11 per week for haylage in winter, 50p per task for assisted DIY (i,e turn out, rug change, hay in morning etc), £3.50 for staff to put horse on walker, £5 for one day's full livery without exercise.

I buy my own bedding and ask a colleague to hay my horse on the two mornings I can't get down to the yard. I also ask the yard to turn my pony out when the other mares go out. don't tend to use the other services really.
