What's the going rate for DIY livery?????

[Grumpy Herbert]

I know it depends whereabouts in the country you are, but what is the going rate for DIY livery these days? I've had mine on full livery for the past 5 years, so am completely out of touch with prices of things ie livery, feed, hay, bedding. I may have to go back to DIY, as I'm likely to be made redundant next year, so would like some figures!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Mines £90 pcm , not including hay/ haylage/ bedding etc

 

[Ziggy_]

I'm in Kent, and yards round here charge anything from £18pw to £35pw for DIY. I pay £25.

 

[DuckToller]

Local DIY round here is about £120 per calendar month. One yard charges £200 and includes all haylage.

 

[Mavis Cluttergusset]

Mine (in Wiltshire) is £100 pcm plus hay/bedding/feed. I get a stable (an internal one), grazing all year and use of sand school/showjumps whenever I like.

 

[elliegirl12]

I am in hampshire and in hampshire seems to be from 120 to 150 a month not including hay bedding etc, however it is including school use

 

[Grumpy Herbert]

That all sounds about what I expected. I got a bit of a shock when I saw one place round here advertising DIY for £50 per week!!!

I only pay a little bit more than that for full!

 

[TelH]

I used to be on diy livery in North Lincolnshire until a couple of months ago, I paid £92 per week for stables and grazing for 5 ponies.

 

[wildpoppywild]

i pay £120 per month for each horse while in during the winter this includes hay straw stable and grazing no facilities or light majority of the time now

pay £40 per month per horse in summer

the place i'm trying to move to is about £10 more expensive but has all facilities and company and stables tht dont flood and lights!!

i'm in the scottish borders

 

[Janette]

£23 per week for grazing and a stable.

 

[miss_c]

Just left a yard where it was £125 a month for stable, grazing, turn out, bring in, (no rug changes) and haylage.

Now at a small rented yard paying £15 a week for stable and grazing, and the YO will turnout, rug change etc free if I need her to, in return I'll do hers when she needs me to.

 

[Geraldine]

I'm in Cheshire, mine is £20 p.w. £9 for as much haylage as your horse can eat and straw is £3 a bale.

 

[Gooby]

Mine is £147/month. That incs. stable, grazing, haylage, electricity, water and use of school. Last yard was £35/week including same things.

 

[hadfos]

£43 a wk and it includes rug change,turnout,stable,grazing,hay,straw and use of school!

 

[eventing09]

im in durham. I pay £29 per week for grazing, and stable. I hav full use of the woodchip and sand school with all showjumps. I also have a xc course which is used when its not sloppy weather

turnout 5/7 days no rug change

 

[bushbaby28]

mines £125 which is includes field (turned out in pairs), Stable (large one) and indoor school. Hay and straw made on the farm but are extra.

 

[Snowysadude]

When i am home (near london) the cheapest yard i could find with stable, menage (floodlit) and turnout was £27 and that was by far the cheapest, next cheapest was £35 a week.

In the countryside (well near loughborough) with the same things the cheapest i could find was £14 a week, mine is currently £15 a week

 

[V1NN]

grazing and a stable £20 per week plus another 20 for haylage, hard feed and straw £160 a month

 

[haras]

I pay £100 a month for DIY including Stable, turnout, hay and use of round pen and trailer parking. No school though.I'm in Hampshire.

 

[samstar]

£8 per week with stable that has hay stored in it, grass 24/7

 

[tabithakat64]

£17 a week, stable, alarmed tack room, some storage, umlimited mixed turnout, floodlit school, direct access to bridleway. The down side is that it's not the best repaired smartest yard and we all have to muck in with chores.

 

[itsme123]

Mine's not a livery yard, but pay £50 a month for two, inc stable, shelter, and YO's horsey daughters will check, hay and feed daily if I need them to. Have access to water and electricity too, plus access to a menage and jumps (not onsite).

 

[pocket]

I'm in Kent and my yard charges £35 and extra's on top.

 

[Kallibear]

I've just moved from £6 a week (baisically field rent, no facilities at all) to £25 a week - 6 outdoor schools, an indoor, 3 round pens, gallops, XC course, literally miles and miles of fabulous hacking. Haylage is inculded and everything is done but the YO (field maintaince etc). I wish I'd done it years ago!

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

Ours is straight DIY, stable, individual turnout, tack room, storage in a barn & use of the arena & this is £20 p.w. £20-25 is the average price in my area. You provide your own hay, bedding, feed etc. We do have an on site groom who will muck out, turnout etc for you if you wish & you pay her for whatever extra you want doing.

 

[SecretSquirrell379]

I pay £35 per week for stable, individual turn out and use of floodlit school. Hay, shavings etc are on top. If you go away and want full livery its an extra £10 per day but your horse is ridden as well.

I know its not the cheapest but I was paying £90 p/mth for just a field at my old place. Livery around here (Essex/Suffolk border) is not cheap and my yard is great, I love it

 

[Berkeley]

Here in Kent it varies from £35 p/w to £48 p/w including hay

 

[humblepie]

About £50 pw including hay and straw. It is expensive compared to most round our way but is nicer than the others.

 

[KatB]

Kallibear I'm jealous!!

Going rate around us is about £30 a week for basic stable, turn out, menage and jumps.

 

[hackedoff]

where I am now £18 pw in summer, 24/7 turnout, stable , use of small floodlite school, direct access to pennine bridle path and tonns of offroad hacking. Winter £22 pw includes t/out in the morning(winter t./o fields not great more of a leg stretch and socialise). unlimited haylage £10.50 pw, straw £2.50 per bale. I pay for fetch in weekdays and turnout /f/in weekeds for a pirncley sum of £5!
