I know we've done 'how much does your horse cost' a month one, but Im wondering what your livery bill is, on average each month.
Mine is usually around £170 - £180 DIY
mines between £250 and £300 a month... but he is on full livery - price varies due to shoes/ wormers/ rug cleaning etc. but just the full livery is £50 per week. (includes all hay/ feed/ bedding). Also includes exercise during the week when I am away.
£325 for part, plus any extras such as w/e muck out or t/o, or extra shavings. I think that's very reasonable as includes all hay, feed and 1 bag of shavings a week (except I invariably end up paying for more as he's such a messy b*gger).

I think that is a very good deal

That IS a good deal!!!
I have mine on part livery and its £282 per month!! Although its often more because i pay travel contribution for shows, extra for training and the odd muck out when im away.
I have pointed out that the prices ought to go up... I have had ponies then horses there for 20 years now... but it was £5 a week when my pony was first there in 1987
Jesus Widget, that's cheap! Add another £200 and that's the price I pay for livery! Where abouts in the country are you?! I should move!!! I do love my yard though

Haha dont tell them!!! Enjoy it while you can....
My livery usually ends up being around £350 - £400 a month, but for all the perks i get im happy with it.
I'm £87 per month per horse (have 3) including as much hay/haylage as I want/need. I bed in straw, which is £15 for a big bale of barley straw and that's lasts me just under a month for all 3.
£207 per month +£2 per day Mon-Fri for catching mine in = £247 on average.
Includes all straw/hay/haylage and feed and mucking out plus horsebox parking!
Mine is between £350-£400 per month (includes lorry parking at about £5/wk), 7 day part livery which is everything apart from exercise, shoes, worming and supplements. I usually get the YO to exercise once or twice a wk depending how work is going so amt I pay can fluctuate!!
My previous yard I paid £4.00 per day which was set inside a 1,800 acre private estate, loads of off road hacking, indoor school and cross country course.
At our last yard, for full livery we were told it would be around 400 - our first bill was over 1k.....stayed around the 800 mark till we moved - now it's down to 400 for full livery, and it's a nicer, less competition based yard, IMO.
