I am trying to save a few pennies so thinking of going from full livery to part livery.

This would mean the yard doing my horse during the week (feed, rug change, muck out, brin in/turn out etc) and me doing him at the weekend.

Is anyone else on part livery? If so, what do you pay, where are you and what does it include? Does it include wormer and feed? Mine would be extra.

If anyone can give me some clues I would be very grateful :)
 
I can tell you what I charge:
£59 per week on straw or £64 on pellets, this includes basic hard feed, ad lib hay/haylage and certain amount of bedding, namely 2 bales of straw or 2 bags of pellets. I feed hard feed 7 days a week, but the rest is 5 days a week and DIY on weekends.
 
my part livery is also on the same basis as martlin £50/week gets you basic feed haylage bedding 7 days a week turn out/muck out rug change etc mon-fri owner does weekends have a worming programme do the whole yard at the same time and bill each owner will be there for farrier/vet/dentist etc but charge £5 each extra
 
My boys are on part livery monday to friday and DIY at weekends (although only have to go up once and muck out/make haynets - the rest is done) on a yard with indoor & outdoor school and minimal roadwork to hacking. In livery is ad-lib hay and feed (one gets 2 feeds, the other 4/day). Horses have their feet picked out/hosed off when they come in and includes all rug changes plus holding for vet and farrier and costs £420pcm.
 
i pay £85 a week and that includes feed/feeding, mucking out/skiping out, haylage/haying up, turnout/bring in, rug changes, bedding either straw or shavings. nothing is skimped on to save money all the horses get what they need. she regularlly stands back and checks there weight and condition and feeds accordingly. this is 7 days a week. we had fab facilities including horse walker, sand school and jumps and beautiful off road hacking. we are in west sussex near chichester.
 
£65 pw inc hay/haylage, straw/shavings & hard feed. They do him 5 days, I do him 2 plus bank hols. Nothing is scrimped on, beds are thick with huge banks. Wormer is £15. They offer services like clipping (£25 blanket clip), exercise (£7) etc and take care of booking farrier/dentist etc. There is a small indoor school, large floodlit ménage, horsewalker and 240 acres of off road riding. Excellent grazing too.
Yard is immaculate and all horses look amazing and are so well cared for. They have a whole range of stables, from America barn to huge loose boxes and traditional wooden stables. It's near Droitwich in Worcestershire. I love it there! :)
