Thank you - perhaps a fixed price excluding consumables would be more sensible.
Thanks for the feedback!
Also - would be happy with a 10 x 15m winter turnout pen (hardcore) which you can use everyday or a 20 x 20m (and a bit) to use 2 out of 3 days (trying to figure out whether to split area into 2 or 3)
I would not like my hay usage to be limited by YO, much as I don't expect my horse to have enough hay to poo and sleep in I do feed ad lib hay and little/no hard feed. I think it would be better to sell bales and let people use their own. Mind you, perhaps you really need one livery with enough horses to be your only client?
Sorry I might have misunderstood. If the turnout pens are just for the very worst weather then yes that'd be fine. It was the 2 out of 3 days that confused me. 2 days in a turnout pen and the third kept in?I'm not sure we have poor turnout - paddocks/ spares for all but options if very wet/ icy rather than standing in a box?
Wondering how you would work this assisted diy livery if your working full time? What happens if it’s limited turn out in winter months, you’re both at work? If the weather turns bad, horse hurts itself in field whilst no one on site? Just a thought...
Limited urnout in winter in my past experience means out for a few hours and then back in...how does that work if you’re not there? If I’m paying for livery, I expect owners to be on site..or on a yard, people coming and going.Surely most of us leave our horses unattended at some point in their lives?
If I was one of your liveries I think I'd prefer my own pen even if that made it a bit smaller. No worrying about whose turn it is, or fuss if somebody else didn't skip out.Sorry - Yes pens are for really pants weather- it's whether we put in 2 larger ones or 3 slightly smaller ones so each livery has their own so no rotation.
