Hi.
Im curious as to how much prices vary from livery yard to livery yard.
So i hope no one thinks i am been nosey im just a curious person lol.

Im in County Durham area.
I pay £25 a week and for that i get my own stable with electric, as much grazing, water, hay and straw as i need and that is all year round.
So i do not think thats to bad at all considering what is included in the price.
 
Hi,

I'm in Northants and I pay £92 a month for stable with electric, grazing, water and as much straw as needed. We also have a school (floodlit) with jumps and excellent hacking. We have to pay seperately for hay/haylage in the winter but they're not even in yet.
 
I pay £23 a week for the stable, £12 for haylage, £5 for use of the school, £5 for feed turnout in the morning mon to fri and we buy feed/bedding of the YO as required. I stay in the west coat of Scotland.
 
I live in Lincolnshire pay £94 per month. Year round grazing free use of indoor and outdoor schools. Schools have lighting and jumps. Own takcroom. Can buy haylege and straw from YO if you want or bring in. Stables are of a good size brick built with lights.
 
You lucky people!! Seems like Hampshire is more expensive than anywhere else. Cambridge is the same sort of prices!

I have my horses in 3 different places at the moment in Hants due to lack of space-

Yard 1- great grazing, lovely stable. Great hacking out. £25 week

Yard 2- lovely stable, little grazing, no hacking ( except busy road ) great arena outdoors. Feed/haylage/bedding included. Yard do all feeding/some T/O or bringing in.£220 a month which includes one day a week with me working in the yard...

Yard 3- my own paddock/stable- free! But obv have to buy in feed/bedding/hay which works out to about £35 a week!
 
I'm in Suffolk;

£110 for DIY, including use of facilities.

£176 per month for stable, grazing, use of facilities, feed put in and one x TO or BI and rug change per day. Yard will also bring in and hold for farrier, vet, dentist etc.

£330 per month for part livery, which is essentially all daily care bar grooming (no exercise) - feed, rug changes, TO and BI, muck out in the morning, skip out in the evening, and hays, water etc both ends of the day. All hay/haylage, hard feed and bedding included.

Facilities are small xc course, 20 x 40m sand and rubber school (was rubbish, now better!), horsewalker, SJ field and all year TO. Off-road hacking is directly opposite the yard driveway.
 
Lancashire.

Part-Livery - Stable, sawdust bedding (as much as we need), haylage, grazing, floodlit school with jumps, XC course, good hacking. T/O in summer, muck out mornings in winter ..... £212/month.
 
I am in cumbria and i pay £46 a week for part livery and £4 extra per day when i need full livery.

Livery includes bedding, haylage, hard feed (not supplements), lovely big stable, great hacking, large floodlit school. Horses fed twice a day, turned out and brought in and rugs changed etc. All they ask is for you to go and muck out and do waters and haynets etc.

All in all, this is quite reasonably priced for this area.
 
i am in east yorks and i pay £32 pw for stable electic and field and use of outdoor sch and locked tack room. then .95p per hay net 3.50 per large bag of shavings (one would last a week at least)
i buy my own feed.
 
Up until last week I paid £33 p/w DIY for stable with view of a wall, individual grazing (small field with no grass) use of small floodlit school (could never get in it) tack room, lights that didn't always work, boring hacking and bossy Y/O. Had to be stabled at night all year round. Bought in my own hay, bedding, feed.
Moved last week.
Now pay £19 p/w DIY for stable with view of fields, lights, large grassy field sharing with 2 others, 24/7 turnout in summer, school (not floodlit) great hacking. £7 extra for hay per week, and buy my own shavings and feed. Assisted DIY available for extra cost.
 
I currently pay £ 10 per week for grass livery.with no menage and the hacking is okay. I have been offered 6 acres with field shelter and stable and small barn automatic water trough £60 per month. the hacking is okay and there is a possibility of use of next doors menage. Im undecided what to do??
 
My new yard is £180 DIY - stable and grazing, great facilties incl walker, 2 large schools both floodlit, lunge arena, and jumping paddock, 6 mile gallop track with great hacking. (£25/mth or £4 a day for walker) is extra on top of livery, I am on matting (already in there) shavings £7/bale i only used two to move her in, I pay£21/mth for as much hay I want. grazing is great and she is out with 2 other little mares, so has now got company!
To be fair I'd pay this every day if she is happy and relaxed, although not great for storage and I have a lot of stuff thas my only prob.
YO charges to bring in £2 a day, change rugs and pick out feet, and no horse is left out on own.
I haven't really been up there much as OH has been doing her for me, so cant really say what the people are like??

I moved from £125/mth stable with view of another stable in barn, not great, grazing was miles away, school but rubbish soakaway, and I brought in my own feed, hay and shavings.
 
I am also in Co. Durham area. Pay £380 per month for full livery - everything included (incl tea and coffee lol). We have good, spacious grazing and large indoor stables, all with poured in rubber flooring.
Includes use of all facilities... indoor and outdoor schools (both with full set showjumps), lunge pen, horsewalker, solarium, hot & cold hose/shower, off road hacking and xc jumps.
Seems like a lot of money, but definitely worth it!
 
I'm in Shropshire.

I pay £260 a month for what I call part livery but my YO calls an assisted DIY package. I get TO, BI, muck out, rugs changed, feeds and hay nets made up & given mon-fri. Also includes stable, grazing, the usual plus use of what I think is a 60x30m sand and rubber arena with SJ and arena XC fences.

On top of that I pay £2 per BI or TO at weekend, £3 for a weekend muck out, £3 for a walker session and £2 a month for arena lighting (which is a damn sight better than most yards which charge £1 per 30 min!). I also buy my own feed and bedding, £3.50 a bale for cardboard and £30 a month for adlib haylage.
 
Wow! I did not think prices would vary that much in all honesty.

Oh and i forgot to add where i am there is access to indoor arena, outdoor arena with lighting and loads of hacking.
 
£45 per week for DIY including, 24/7 summer turnout and 4 day a week turnout in the winter. The use of a floodlit dressage arena, a floodlit sand school and a lunge arena. Indoor arena available at extra cost. In the summer we also get use of dressage, XC and SJ fields. Hacking is fab. We are 10 mins away from a plantation in each direction and lots of loops we can do

The yard also holds competitions and have visiting instructors so no need to go travelling if your not overly competative but want to have a go.
 
£145 in winter all in, thats good quality hay and straw, a 12x12 stable and daytime turnout in managed, rotated fields. We have two outdoor schools, a canter track and Sjs and XC jumps.

Its £105 in summer.
 
Where I am charges £145 basic.
That's for stable, daily turnout in small groups, ad lib straw, hay or haylage.
Floodlit school (and use of another one at neighbouring farm which has more jumps), loads of hacking round bridleways and tracks on the farmer's land and just about accessible by public transport.


On top of that I take a livery package for £210 a month for part livery which is everything except grooming and exercise and all done to a high standard as well.
My horse had to stay in for a day when he pulled his shoes off and he is very dirty. When they went to skip out he had made such a mess that they completely mucked out again.

You can add hard feed for £20 a month but i prefer to buy my own.

If you are on DIY you can just pay for services e.g. £2 for turnout inc rugs/boots 50p for feed £5 muck out. £10 for full livery for a day.
 
I'm in North East and pay £220 pcm for what equates to DIY livery; Base price is £165 pcm for stable, grazing and use of facilities (which are not brilliant) am paying approx £70 extra per month for forage, bedding and hard feed. :-((
 
I'm in Shropshire and I pay £85 pw for full livery. It's a fabulous yard, with nice owners, staff and livery - me and my girl are very content
