Racehorse ownership
Racehorse ownership is all about the experience. Shares in a horse should not be viewed as traditional investments.
Ownership types vary among syndicates, typically involving full ownership or a lease. These agreements rarely extend beyond a year.
After the first year, current owners can renew their shares at the original price or at a reduced cost, excluding the initial purchase costs but covering training and day-to-day expenses.
Horseracing is a sport. It’s an exhilarating competition comprised of both people & magnificent horses. With their unique personalities, horses face life’s ups and downs, much like we do.
This is why microshares provide an opportunity for everyone to join this exciting journey at more inclusive prices – check out our FAQs for a full definition.
Benefits vary between syndicates for each horse, so be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully for each syndicate.
