livery

[horsegal2612]

I was wondering how much on average a 14.2hh pony would cost to keep where the pony is turned out, fed, watered etc. (food and bedding included) and I ride the horse most days and clean the tack etc. per week?
Also how much is working livery on average per week?
I need to work out if I can afford to keep a pony
Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum.Alot will depend on where about you are.It can vary greatly.You would be looking at part livery if not full livery!.

I live in the West Midlands, Wolverhampton but on the border of South staffs, does this help?

I think you'd be looking at about 60 pounds a week, plus vet bills, insurance, farrier etc etc.

I'd guess about 400 a month??

When I lived in the east midlands (Nottinghamshire), part livery was between £45-60 a month and full was £70+ per month, then farrier would be roughly £50-60 every 6 weeks.
