what do you think is a better deal.
option A. most basic livery at my RS (big busy yard )with stable includes
rugs taken off and put on once a day.
economical use of straw
3 feeds fed by farm staff but provided and prepared at my expense.
Haylage in winter fed by staff at farms expense.
horse turned out/brought in once per day by staff
use of indoor and outdoor schools and jumps when available (quite a busy place so not sure how much use you would actually get altho could be wrong)
Permission to use recognised riding routes on farm
Storage for basic tack and feed.
Think you have to be off yard around 8pm
loose box with water drinker
£45.50 per week for pony £56.15 for horse
Option B. DIY livery at small yard in same area with stable
New purpose built stable block (nicer i think as horses can all see each other )
Use of jumping/schooling paddock
Only 6 stables in total
Can come and go whenever you please time wise
Same price for horse or pony
£25 per week
Would be my first horse/pony so no idea about cost of haylage bedding etc so not sure which is best option. And very close proximity so would be able to hack to riding school for lesson if was at other yard. Would hopefully be buying a hairy native type if this is helpful.
Thanks
