What does the price depend on?

The biggest differences come from the livery type (full, part or DIY), the kind of housing (stable, group housing or paddock paradise), how much turnout there is and which facilities you may use, such as an indoor arena. Ask each yard exactly what the price includes.

What is the difference between full, part and DIY livery?

With full livery (volpension) the yard does everything: feeding, mucking out and usually turnout. With part livery (halfpension) you do part of the care yourself, for example mucking out. With DIY livery (doe-het-zelf) you rent the space and look after your horse yourself. Arrangements differ per yard, so always ask what is included.
