What would you expect to pay to have the horse hacked and lunged?

Many thanks

I would think £180 for livery and £25 for coach to school and £15 hack/lunge by groom/WP

 

[Leg_end]

£120-130 pw livery

£25 ph schooling (I think of it as a lesson)
£15 lunge
£20/25 hacking depending on length of time you have to take out of day.

£150 a week for the livery

£25 a time for senior coach.

£10 a time for lunging, bit more for hacking possibly.

This sounds about right to me

As above, would go higher for livery if it had indoor, too, and a walker.

Baring in mind the south and knowing the price of other places, £180-210 for livery. £30-35 for good rider and £10-15 for lunge or hack.

Sounds like a good yard, when can I join

I'm in the commuter zone for London, and would expect a yard of that standard to be at least £160 a week.

Would expect £25 for the yo to ride and £15 for staff to lunge/hack.

Slightly off point, whilst I like my horse to live in great facilities etc, I like to do the grooming, tacking up etc myself. Just feel its part of the relationship with my horse.

I think that to define as full livery that includes riding.

That aside, I think the prices suggested all look right but are interesting when compared to the "pro" prices muted in another thread. I had horse at a yard where he was competition prepared so worked probably 6 days a week but if I wanted to ride he would be tacked up and ready if that was what I wanted everything you mention was included plus occasional lessons from a BHSI plus help whenever needed for less than£200 a week.

I don't live in the south so don't know how much more expensive it is down there....but I'd guess between 120-150 livery, 25 coach and maybe 10-15 for lunging or hacking??

 

[ihatework]

See for me that isn't full livery, I wouldn't expect all the fancy bits like trimming, washing and tack cleaning to be in a package and then not have riding included.

That said, in answer to your question, I would say £140-150pw, there is always a ceiling if you don't have an indoor.

Exercise wise probs £10 lunge, £15 hack and £25 school

 

[popsdosh]

Same here full livery to me includes exercise.

We offer exactly what you describe but including lunging and/or hacking for £145pw. We are relatively close to you I think?

Any schooling is separately charged as and when they want it. Our liveries that are on this package are generally the ones who have limited time during the week so we keep the horses ticking over on weekdays, they come and ride/have a lesson etc at the weekend. If they are away and they want more than 2 schooling sessions per week we adjust their package to make it as cost effective as possible for them (I.e. do a fixed rate of say, £190pw for example).
