All of the above included except lunging, exercise and schooling for £500 a month. In Surrey.
 
With hacking/lunging/schooling I would say that would be full or even schooling livery.
Without that I pay £500 in south oxon but I believe I would have to pay an extra £200-£250 for the added above.
 
I would say that is more full livery. I pay £88 per week in Edinburgh for:

- feed, rug, turn out monday-friday
- muck out and bring in, rug, feed monday-friday
- I buy my own feed
- straw and haylage included
- I have to do everything at weekends
- £5 extra for farrier when I'm not present
- 4 outdoor schools, 1 indoor
- full set of show jumps, working hunter jumps + xc course
- 2000 acres of off-road hacking
- wash down area
 
Assisted DIY would be around £240 without feed, poo picking and exercise/lunging where we are in Surrey.
 
I will be paying £350 for all of the above except the exercising, grooming and tack cleaning. Also in Surrey.
 
Bring in £2 - £3 with a rug change
Turn out £2
Muck out £4.50
Muck out do hay and water £10
Feed in field £2

All services on top of livery £22 a week
 
I'm paying £30 a week for DIY, then £2/week day for someone else to feed and turnout in the morning. Near Sheffield.

If you mean you want all those things done routinely, then that's full livery! Or do you mean on an as needed basis?
 
I agree this is full livery. Without the lunging/schooling/exercise this would be part livery. I pay £310 per month for mucking out, turning out, rug changing, feeding, holding for vet and farrier, legs and feet seen to, hay and straw, use of two outdoor school and one indoor school, cross country course and full course of show jumps, parking for trailer. I'm in Scotland.
 
Turn out or bring in when in winter fields is £2.50 in the summer is £1.50. Rugs/boots/flyspray is 50p.

Mucking out, waters and putting out hay is £6.00.

Picking out feet - 50p .

Setting fair (skip out, top up water and give fresh hay) - £3.00

Full groom- £4.00

Full livery for the day is £12, excluding riding.

I'm in W.Sussex & on DIY.
 
I run my own yard on Hants/West Berks border and TBH I mainly bundle that kind of stuff together as a package...

DIY - £35 pw (incl stable, turnout and use of facilities)
Assisted DIY (one end of day) - £55 pw (incl turnout OR bring in, feed, rug change, hoof pick)
Part (Mon-Fri) - £100 pw (incl feed, hay, bedding (1xbale per week), turnout, bring in, rug changes, hoof pick, muck out, quick groom, bed down, water in - everything so owner doesn't need to come unless they want to ride)
Part 7 days - £120 pw (as per above)
Full (7 days) - £160 pw (as per part but with 3 days exercise (hack, school, lunge) included

I also offer holiday cover for the DIYers at a charge of £15 per day or £70 pw for part(they supply feed/hay/bedding). For assisted it's £10 per day or £50 pw (they also supply feed/hay/bedding) for part.

Individual prices:
Catch £2.00
Legs / feet washed and hoof picked (included in catch/to)
Turn out £2.00
Feed ( the actual feed) I include this in the part/full/rehab costs
Feeding- making up and giving the feed 50p
Grooming - quick flick £3.00 / full groom (curry combing/hot clothing) £5
Mucking out - £5
Bedding down - included in muck out costs but if owner has mucked out and left bed up then £1.50
Horse being seen to for vet/ farrier £5 per half hour
Putting to bed ( bedding down, new bedding in, hay, water and feed put in) £3
Paddock poo picked - included in charges for part/full/rehab but if in individual paddock I charge £5 per barrow as I hate doing it! Those in the bigger group (DIY horse) take out a barrow per horse per week and that keeps on top of it.
Rug changing 50p for up to 2 rugs
Lunging £15 per 30mins
Hacking £15 for 30 mins
Schooling £25

Facilities wise we have:
24/7 turnout if required though I tend to do daytime to in winter and night in summer
All weather turnout track
12 x 12x16 stables in an airy American barn
3 x 12x12 isolation stables (also used for box rest so horse can see others)
60x25 school with mirrors and show jumps
XC field
Fantastic hacking
Alarmed tack room /kitchen (with heating)
Feed room
Rug room (with heating)
Individual, lockable, storage area
CCTV plus cameras in each stable so owners can log in via a website and view their horses 24/7
Horsebox storage
Electric gates (access code/pass required)
I live on site

We also have gallops, walker, full XC course, indoor school across the road.
 
I was paying £25 per week for DIY Livery and then any extras I needed assisted ranged from 50p a feed to 1.50 TO/ Bring in etc

Now I pay £25 per week and YO feeds, puts fly rug on and turns out for me included in that price which im very happy about as I dont need to go down in the mornings now :)
 
I am on part livery and aside from the exercising it is all included and I pay £485 a month (and that is for a woodchip bed, £455 for straw) in Essex. If I want exercise it is £5 for lunging and £10 for hacking or schooling.

Thank you, we set it up after learning a lot from being on livery for years and learning what we liked/didn't like from other people.

No website as I'm a bit of a technophobe and, luckily, we don't need to advertise so I try and keep us as hidden from the world as possible!
