Right up at the other end of the country, on the north coast of Scotland - I have mine at home, but friends on livery are paying, from memory, £200 a month on a yard that has large stables, an outdoor school with jump stands and poles available, small cross country course, 5-minute hack up the road to the community-owned indoor school that anyone can hire, year-round turnout. I think that's on an assisted DIY basis, the yard does them during the week, owners at weekends. Hay costs can be a bit of a nightmare up here if we have a bad summer, we get a very short growing season. It seems to be about £25 for a large round this year, but I was lucky and caught my neighbour when he was doing his fields next to mine, so he cut, turned and baled mine as well - £80 for 13 large rounds.
When I lived in Croydon I had my 4-y-o on schooling livery at Oldencraig, that was £900 a month in 2005.
