Blimey, I'm surprised at what some of you pay for part livery then have feed bills on top. Think ill stop moaning about my full livery bill!

4 horses kept at home, been keeping accounts for last 4 years. Usually about 5 to 6,000 a year. Last year should have made huge savings on taking them all barefoot with exception of one, but spent a lot on hoofboots. This should not be a recurring expense. Saving on hay as not had to feed any this winter due to having lots of grass, we are on sandy soil and this wet weather is great for growing grass on it!

It does add up, doesn't it? Two ponies (one retired) on DIY grass livery. Livery: £100 Bagged feed: about £30 per month (retired pony needs lots of bucket feed) Supplements: £20 We've only bought hay once this year of which my share was £15 (so maybe £10 per month so far). This depends heavily on how much grass we have over winter. Hoof boots (averaged cost per month): £20 If I factor in the year's vet cost, that's an extra £22 per month. So that's a total of £202 for two ponies per month in "running costs". On top of that at irregular intervals: £15 per lesson £20 or more per Trec entry (maybe 4 a year) £20 or more per show entry (maybe 2 a year) Diesel money per show/trec ~£30 Rug wash and proof £18 (about 3 rugs a year) £35 for saddle check (once or twice a year) Wormers/FECs about £80 per year I'm pretty good at not buying "horse clothes" etc. If I had to, I think I could save the most by not going to shows/fun rides/trecs. But where would be the fun in that?  |

wooo some of those costs are very high....I have 1 his bill for last month was £148 for livery & food, I work on the weekend for a few hrs to pay for his hay & straw and to be brought in so thats no extra.
£14 per month for insurance and probably about £30 for petrol for the whole month extras.
