A friend of mine has 4 acres of paddocks which she now wants to rent out. What is the going rate for renting grazing? (We're in Suffolk) I said I'd pick the helpful HHOers brains!! Is there a lack/abundance of rentable grazing? Just trying to gauge opinion and whether anyone would actually want to rent it etc.
 
I think the going rate for grazing is about £100/acre/annum, but price will obviously increase or decrease with the facilities available. I used 2 acres of grazing over winter for free as it was not fenced very well and didn't have any electricity. All I had to do was harrow and roll it when I moved back to my summer grazing.
 
If you call it grass livery and do the field maintenance yourself then round it here it would be £10.00 - £15 per week per horse!
