How much would you expect to pay for 7 acres of grazing for 3 horses per week/month? A friend of mine is looking for grazing for her 3 horses and I was wondering what you would pay or charge?!?

I used to pay £10 a week for diy grass livery, this included use of the stables to groom etc and use of the indoor and outdoor schools too.

i think it depends very much on the area. Around here a corner of a farmers field is £10-£15 a week per horse.....but i know people who live in london who pay £100 a week!!!

a field round here costs around a tenner a week - paid 6 months in advance. you just rent the field and put what horses you waznt on (within reason). you don't get charged per horse for a field (no facilities)

Ok thanks. Thats given us a bit more information. :)

and you need to bear in mind various grants that are available to farmers now, often mean that horse are not allowed due to their soil destructive nature! we had a big problem with one of our fields falling under the stewardship scheme
Here in Brighton I pay £12 per week for grazing in a mixed herd on 40 open acres.
In case of accident or injury, I pay about £18 per week for a one acre individual paddock and £20 if want/need to use a stable as well.

I pay £15 a week in summer for turn out for mine. Meant to say that is each.
