Just saw this Pat. am working on it. Joe will be subsidized at nursery as of Jan, so can work more hours which will make a big difference. Was wondering about grass livery? x

She'd love it! She's a real mud monster (embarrassingly so!
) but as long as she had decent rugs I'm sure she'd cope just fine, she doesn't think she's a precious thoroughbred that will dissolve in the rain now! 
Will keep my fingers crossed.NativePonyLover

Sorry, posted before I was ready - downfall of using a phone!
Assisted is usually about £70 a month. But this falls to under £10 a month in the summer.
Lessons (once a week\fortnight but this varies) - £25
Hay - approximately £15.
Straw bedding - £10
Minimal hard feed - two bags of Hi Fi light a year!
Vitamin and mineral supplement - £5
Trimming every 2 months - £40
Insurance - £30
He gets physio twice a year, saddle fitted twice a year saddle, dentist etc.

Approx £1000 a month but I am on 7 day full livery. That figure includes his insurance, lorry insurance and farrier. Extras are diesel for lorry, completions and my tack shop addiction I'd only waste it on shoes and hand bags if I didn't have him thou

I never can resist these threads even though I always want to cry after I posted!
Livery (restricted working) - £47 p/w
Trim - £12 every 8 weeks
Supplements - £15 per month joint supplement and £20 every six months magnesium
Wormer - £15 twice a year
Plus dentist, vaccination booster and physio check approximately once a year - around £60 each.
This is before any lessons, competition fees, additional cost of running a car big enough to tow a horse box, rug repars/cleaning, misc bits of kit you randomly need, BHS membership for the personal liablity insurance... the list goes on.
Yep, definitely regretting posting now!
