FIELD RENT
how much would you expect to pay in rent for 3 acre field with rubbish fences and water ( but off our water meter ! ). land owner wants £60 - I think he is taking the p**s . as I dont pay that in livery, but not had much experiance of this. am in SE but very rural with lots of unused land around - that nobody will sell !!. in terms of benefit to me it would be great as opposite house but dont want to be taken advantage of as cant afford to throw money away. no access to school and got to cross v busy country road to ride out if did move pony there.

Re: FIELD RENT
I pay £1 per day for my horse and 50p for the tiny pony to have as much of a huge field as I want. I have to electric fence it and take water to them because there is no water. Field only - nothing else. I walk them down the lane to my house. That is in Surrey.

Re: FIELD RENT
That is far too much money. I wouldn't pay that much.

He's taking the p*ss. I rent a field next door but one for extra grazing it's about two and a half acres water from a hose £9 per week and if I want to put another horse or two in nothing else. He wouldn't get anything like that on set a side ask another farmer.

Re: FIELD RENT
£60 a week!
I am in the south (NF) and pay £60 a month for EACH of my horses on a 6 acre field, again rubbish fences, and I thought that was steep! They think they can charge us more though, and think we're not paying enough! The field is not for my sole use but no one else will pay their prices!

Re: FIELD RENT
£60 a week is outrageous! I was thinking it was for a month and even that was steep

Re: FIELD RENT
Hi,
I pay £100 per month for 4 1/2 acres, use of 2 barns, 1 partitioned for stables in winter, the other for storage hay/straw ect, metered water supply, trough and tap and free electric.
So yes I would say £60 per week is expensive for whats on offer.
