wandering..

where you keep your horse how much do you pay per month and for what and area etc.

i pay 125 a month for diy, a stable, a field, a soggy school thats around 20x30 if that lol in hampshire, good hacking, but i hate hacking lol. do you think this is alot of money?

i'm not sure as people just a county or two up have loads more for alot less, but is this just because of where i live?

 

[gentle_giant]

Atmy yard its £15 a week in summer for unlimited turnout, a stable, school, XC jumps, fab hacking.
In winter its £22 a week, unlimited turnout still and unlimited haylege included in the price.

 

[missshell]

gentle giant whereabouts in the country are you?

 

[sj_xc_hannah_]

yea same whereabouts?

 

[beh]

DIY- £25, Stables, own turnout, 20x60 rubber school with jumps, xc course, RC and BD stuff held there, fantstic hacking, small yard with friendly people, what else could you wish for?????????

 

[samsaccount]

My boy is at home so it is free but someone keeps her horse with us and we charge her £20 per week for DIY (all year round) :: unlimited turnout in two fields, water, hay, straw, stable, tack/feed room.

 

[Tia]

Depends where about you are in Hampshire but that does sound excessively expensive to me.

My yard was in Hampshire and I charged £70 per month for DIY - stable, tack room etc, good grazing, excellent outriding, schooling area, jumping paddock with full set of jumps.

 

[sj_xc_hannah_]

near petersfield/clanfield/the meon valley lol if you know where any of that is.

 

[Tia]

Yep not too far from where I was based. There has to be somewhere a bit cheaper I would have thought.....I have a mind-block right now but if I think of any yards down that way, I'll pass the names onto you.

Have you tried looking at the website which gives the directories of Livery Yards in the area - it's the Horseweb.co.uk one?

 

[samsaccount]

£125 seems alot for diy, especially if the facilties are not 5* i think the top you should be paying for a stable, field, school, jumps, hacking, which are all decent quality should be 70-80 for diy.

 

[sj_xc_hannah_]

thats what i thought, when we are paying that much for one horse and i have two, and its difficult to ride half the time as the schools a load of s**t, and i am trying to train a 6yo tb showjumper

so if you know of anywhere in that region can anyone please let me know, i don't mind about hacking as i do a very minimal amount, good school is most important to me. thankies xx

 

[Malibu]

I take rupert to a very small private yard, only 7 other horses, we pay 30 a week for internal stables with no rubber matting but just straw and hay, i have a secure area for tack and and outside unlit arena plus more if they turn out horses etc. I dont mind though because i know the girl who owns it has a good horse mind and they will look after him if i am away etc

 

[iwtownsley]

i pay £125 on livery. they ride him for me cos i live in london in the week nice school indoor building an outdoor excellent hacking with the ability to hack in ciren park.
jumps etc.
and yard kept v. nice.

 

[Super_Kat]

I pay just short of £200 p/m per horse (2 horses) for 2 stables, turnout when it's avaliable (rarely during winter), use of an indoor, covered and large (100m x 40m) outdoor school, 1 bale of bedding (

), hay of varying quality, feed (horse & pony mix, alfa a & hi fi) use of walker etc and parking for youe trailer or lorry if you have one.

 

[teapot]

Sounds like normal Hants/Sussex prices to me. £125 a month equates to £31.25 a week (based on 4 week month) so that's not that bad considering.

I know someone who keeps their horse just outside Clanfield

 

[not_with_it]

I pay £100 pcm for DIY. I get an internal stable, use of large outdoor arena, individual all year turnout (not in field in winter though), free box parking, instructor on sight and loads of favours.

hay &amp; straw is ordered separate from them, they 'deliver' once a week which is an extra £10-15 a week dependng on what grass he has access to &amp; how long he will be in stable for. a typical week is about 4 hay bales &amp; 2 - 3 straw bales

 

[Tempi]

if you do a search in NL you will find hundreds of posts on the same topic which might help you aswell. I keep both my horses near me (down south) on DIY.

I pay £160 a month for one of the which includes individual turnout paddock (maintained by me) as much haylage as i want, stable, floodlite all weather menage, parking for lorry and tackroom but i dont use it.

I pay £140 a month for my other horse and hes in a shared field with the rest the same as above.

I do muck out the yo's 5 horses for her and finish off on a Saturday though.

[lillie]

i pay £65 per month (average of £15 pw) which includes:
<ul type="square">
[*]stable
[*]winter grazing (1/2day everyday, whole day every other)
[*]summer grazing (dawn til dusk, 24/7) until 1st November
[*]flood lit school with some SJ jumps
[*]free use of XC course (as part of lessons as wel as just practice)
[*]ok hacking
[*]concrete pen so he can wander about when im mucking out [/list]

i pay for hay/straw on top of that which is about an extra £10-15 a week depending on what grazing he's on &amp; how long he spends in but i usually make it up to 4 bales of hay &amp; 2/3 of straw.

our old place charged
£60 May- end of Sept (incl straw/grazing)
£100 Oct- end of April (incl hay/straw)
no school, but turnout was individual/pairs/threes depending on circumstances but no rotation&amp; V. limited during winter. the horses had to be in from Oct &amp; couldn't go out 24/7 till May (weather depending).

so in comparison im only purchasing what hay/straw I want &amp; when i want it &amp; i can ride on evenings &amp; Linx was out 24/7 til like the 27th Oct this year &amp; only came in as he was fully clipped!

 

[Bex7]

I pay £17pw and get

Stable
Concerete penned off yard off stable (claustorphobic)
Tack/feed room
Floodlit School (extra charge although minimal)
Turnout individual or group makes no odds to the money
Good Hacking

Hay/shavings/straw and haylage available from YO for extra

All in all I think mine is reasonable for the area.
