Please tell me about your working livery package

[Zipzop]

I am about to put my horse on GRASS working livery. I dont know much about this and just wanted some comparisons.
What discount do you get on rent? % or amount in £££
Things that are paid by you and things that are covered in your working livery.
Do you get free lessons thrown in? If so how many? Do you get a discounted rate for lessons?
Does your horse do a set amount of hours?

Thank you

if you just about to put your horse on grass livery I am presuming that you have already had a discussion and signed a contract? What have they offered you and then we can compare if its a good deal?

I had free grass livery in return for one of mine being used in the school, but I picked up vet's bills.

They would have paid for the farrier, but I needed my own so I picked up that cost.

I also paid for hard feed because the school stuff was cheap and nasty.

They used him for max 1 hour a day and there was a weight limit. Unfortunately they carried on using him when he was lame (another livery told me), so I pulled him out of the school in the end. I also found it was a bit difficult if I wanted to use him and it clashed with a lesson. I was pretty flexible but did get cross one day when a load of other school horses had gone out on a fun ride so they wanted to use mine - even though I'd arranged to go hacking & had told them in advance.
