What type of livery are you on?

What do you get for your money?

How much do you pay?

Sorry just curious :D

I'll start :) I pay £17 a week for DIY, I get year round turnout in a mixed group, stable, alarmed tack room, secure storage, floodlit school and direct access to a bridleway. The down side is we have to do most of the maintainence ourselves.
 
=O thats so cheap!

I pay £139 monthly for DIY livery
All year turnout (day time in winter 24/7 in summer) either geldings or mares
Large indoor stable
Really big school but no lights and show jumps
Hacking down the road but you need a pass and key to get in which you have to pay for.
 
I pay £45 a week part livery.

It includes.....stable in a big barn style building, all bedding, ad lib haylidge, wash down area, secure tack room, plenty of rug/gear storage. A floodlit 30 x 60 sand/rubber arena with jumps, fillers, etc. Restricted turn out in winter. washing machine, fields to ride in (as not directly linked to off road riding. YO does turn out/bring in from the field/ rug change etc.
I go to the yard once a day in the evening. YO does feed/turn out in the morning.
YO...also a v v v experienced well respected locally instructor lives on site (she taught me to ride from a young age) and is always there for help/advice/moral support WHENEVER we need it. She would be really put out if we had needed help/advice etc and we hadnt gone to her because we didnt want to trouble her! But would never interfear...unless she needed to. We can come and go and do as we please.
She will check horses shoes/feet and wellbeing on a regular basis even those on DIY etc.

Lessons available to suit us. I often have one before work during the week.

I really couldnt ask for any more from the yard really. The price is fab. Its a set amount. No extra for turn out/rug etc.
I suppose a cross country course would make it perfect.....but we can all dream and there is one 3 miles up the road anyway!
 
ouch, mine feels expensive now!
£40 per week. Bedding and hay is extra. Lovely big rubber matted stable and v pretty small yard. 60x30 school with fab surface and loads of new jumps, lunge school, feed room, rug room and tack room. Hot water washdown area. Individual turnout and direct off road hacking in a park. The good hacking, good school and individual turnout were essentials for us, so this reduced our choice and upped the price we wound up having to pay!
 
ok i pay £250 per month for everything. i muck out myself. but i get to join any lesson i want there is loads and loads of hacking. locked tack room two outdoor schools an indoor one but a little small for my boy. he can be turned out when ever i need him out.

i don't know what ive left out but its truly amazing so glad that my hubby got transfered and we got to move yards......:D :D oh yeah people lovely too :)
 
On DIY pay £95 month have use of two wood chip schools (one is flood lit), sand and rubber jumping school with good sets of jumps, indoor school (has lights and jumps), year round turnout, there is a cross country course which they are planning on rebuilding, wash box, horse walker, farrier comes on Fridays. Easy journeys to competitions locally. Brick built boxes all with water, own tack room for you if you have more than one horse. If not you will share with one other. Parking area for lorries and trailers no charges. Can get haylage and straw from them if you want. Big yard but because of the lay out they have made it seem much smaller.
 
I pay £200 per month for part livery. Hay, feed and bedding are extra. I have all year round turnout. Use of a 20x40 outdoor school with an extra jumping section and all jumps. I have to muck out at the weekend but get a turnout on those days. Lovely hacking and great people. We are always out doing something together. Very happy:)
