A bit off topic, stabling

[geoff]

But might become part of a project ...

Does anybody have an idea how much one would expect to charge for stabling a horse in and around Shropshire ?

Stable and pasturing only, the owner looks after their own animal

[Roger Chapman]

No idea I am afraid but I think some people might call that sort of thing diy livery rather than stabling.

ask on uk.rec-equestrian

I'm out of touch with prices nowadays but you might try asking on the uk.rec.equestrian newsgroup, it's pretty quiet there but there are a few people still lurking and your question will probably get answered.

I have no idea about Shropshire but I charge 25ukp/wk. for a 12'x12' box and grazing. Bedding straw is thrown in free as, strictly, I should charge VAT. Uniform business rate (if you get rated) has been about

150ukp/box/year.

Poo picking and routine worming is crucial and must be part of any agreement otherwise you will need to rotate the grazing and harrow.

Sight of horse passport prior to acceptance is wise. Manure clamping and removal from site is a consideration. I do it free here as I have the tackle and a use.

a load of places to enquire.

Are you "Doing" the livery or asking how much you'll need to pay ?

I read it as 'stabbing' as well :-)

Since Geoff was the OP it didn't surprise me for some reason :-)

I have had good reports of "The Happy Holiday Homes For Pets Pie Co. Ltd"

I seem to remember that was in Portsmouth, a bit far from Shropshire.
