I have a 14hh Welsh pony who you might think would be an easy keeper. However, her cost has just gone over £700 a month!!!
I got home from holiday last night to a letter from the livery yard that my rate is going up from £100 to £120 a week. This is five day which OH insists on as I have been working 11/12 hour days so DIY is not an option at the moment. At least it includes feed and bedding and some hay - YO only gives her one evening net so I have to buy her an extra bale a week.
She does have supplements but it's a multivit as she's an elderly cushings pony on a little fast fibre and the joint one the vet says she needs.
She is already barefoot.
I do have lessons - cutting down to fortnightly I think as £35 ph plus £8 to use the school but they help so much to keep her sound.
Once I factor in all the money I spend on petrol to see her and OH I want to cry (ok, I did last night). Any ideas people? I am making pasta...
