I pay £95 per month incl brand new 40 x 40 school, lunge pen, 3x 3/4 acre paddocks, wash room, canter tracks but no hay or bedding incl (I buy my own bedding in) yard is fully insured etc

will be £100 pm when the indoor walker is in, new lunge pen is in and XC fences are in.

It's on the high end of the price bracket for DIY in the west mids (normally anywhere from £60-£120 a month) BUT if it includes all bedding and hay then I'd say it's a jolly good deal so long of course they don't make you limit how much you feed and make you have small beds/charge for extra bedding etc (within reaosn of course)

Does everyone check who pay less than £25 a week DIY that there yard is fully insured and paying business rates?

I agree! TBH i am amazed at the people who wouldnt pay more than this. A horse can eat a bale of hay a day in winter, at £3 a bale that leaves £4 a week for the stable, turnout, facilities, fencing, water, electricity, rates, insurance......

Even without the hay i think £25 per week is very reasonable for just the stable, field and facilities. I dont think people appreciate how much installing and maintaining facilities costs, let alone business rates and insurance.
