for future ref - will own within next couple of years i suspect, perhaps sooner if i learn enough - i have asked at the school im with and she only does part livery for £50 week - or working livery for £30 (she is such a great instructor i would feel comfortable with that - i have waxed lyrical about her all over the tack room so i wont elaborate!) but anyway i digress.
if i were to have a pony on part livery, which includes basic feed and hay, and no extras for rugs etc....
what other costs would i be likely to incur over and above these livery fees?
i know i need to factor in insurance/vets/worming/vaccinations/ farrier/ shoes - but what do these things cost and how often?
i know shoes are likely to be about £35 - £40 every 2 months or so (if my potential horse is shod)
im just trying very hard to be prepared and to have a realistic figure for a horse on part livery because this is probably what i would do due to my shifts etc - diy would be near on impossible and at my school she doesnt do grass livery.
so. any part livery owners care to impart the total costs for me so i dont fall foul? DH is saying i can have my own as long as i know the costs involved and can afford it....all very sensible.
cheers in advance.
