I was wondering how i could possibly save a bit of money on livery bills. My new loan pony will need to be on full livery and as i am not as ”well off” as others down at my yard, i was wondering on how i could save money on livery bills.
Serious answers only please, thanks x
My yard is a riding school yes (:
you could change your livery…
if you keep him/her at a riding stables you could put them on working livery, where the horse can be used in riding lessons in exchange for a cheaper livery.
if possible theres part livery – the yard do some things for you eg maybe feed in the morning and turnout and you do other things, you would have to confirm what as it varies, again this will lower your bill more than full livery.
diy livery – you do everything all you pay for is the paddock and stable sometimes starw may be included etc…vey cheap.
if you cant change your livery find somebody tho loves to ride but cant have a horse of their own they could pay say £20 a week to you and be able to ride the horse on 3 days..this way you get money towards upkeep and also get the horse exersised and possibly some stable chores! theres always a competent teenager willing to do this.
hope this helps
