I feel very awkward about the other liveries, if I tell them the YO will feel I am stabbing her in the back. I am one of the newest on the yard. One livery is a friend of mine who I knew before either of us moved there and I have called her and asked her to call me back and I will tell her the facts so she can decide for herself what to do. Sorry , but I think you owe it to the other liveries' horses to tell their owners. Sod stabbing the YO in the back---------------this is a SERIOUS matter which could be a case of life or death .

Negotiating point with the YO - if she doesn't get rid and replace it with some ragwort free decent quality bales the other owners will have to know, for the welfare of their horses.

I understand SS3 and Specialized. I am working on it, I don't have contact details for most of the liveries and rarely see any of them but am telling who I can when I can while trying not to get myself evicted as I really don't want a homeless horse.
How much would you say it costs a yard owner to provide hay for one horse per month? I have asked for a livery price without hay, of course the answer might be no in which case I don't have any choice but to leave.

Raally what you should be looking at is how much it will cost YOU to provide fodder for your horse for a month, so you can make up the loss while remaining within budget. How big is your horse, is he stabled at night only, how much is hay in your area, there are a lot of variables. I would say a normal small bale would last the average horse, stabled at night, between 2 and 3 days, depending on size etc.

We average out our charge for hay at £1 a day spread over the year, but we make our own so our costs are less than if it was bought in.
