Owing a race horse is one of the thrills of life relatively few people know. The 'sport of kings' can be hands-on or purely a spectator sport. For those who want the excitement without the often heavy cost, racehorse partnerships can be the answer.
Owning a share of a horse gives an individual all the rights and privileges of sole ownership, with only a fraction of the responsibilities. Training fees, daily costs for feed and bedding, and expenses for grooms, farriers, and vets are all shared. So are expenses directly associated with racing, like jockey fees and entry fees.
As an owner, an individual can visit the backstretch, or stable area, which is off limits to all but licensed personnel. The barn area is fun to see, all bustle and hurry during the morning exercise hours and perfect peace in the afternoons. Horses are either taken to the track by an exercise rider or a jockey or walked by hand around the shed-row or on a mechanical walking machine. Grooms clean the stalls, brush the horses, and wrap their legs with bandages. Trainers oversee everything and spend hours reading the racing form, checking out the competition and selecting races for their charges.
Ownership also involves free admission to all parts of the clubhouse and grandstand, including private boxes for watching the races and an exclusive dining area. Owners can visit the paddock before a race and the winning circle when their horse crosses the line in front. They can be in the win picture - and get an unbeatable wall decoration/souvenir.
There are opportunities to join a partnership online. Thoroughbreds, standardbreds, and quarterhorses are all open to this form of ownership. Some of the top stables in the sport offer well-bred, fast horses to qualified people. One advantage to online opportunities is that the horses offered are already racing and in many cases have proved their ability to win and earn money.
Those who are looking for an investment with monetary returns often have shares in many horses, which spreads the risk like a mutual fund does in the stock market. Others know that the real returns are in entertainment and being on the inside of a historic and exciting sport. The dream is what racing is about, although fabulous fortune and enduring fame are always possible.
It is absolutely vital to trust the partners involved, to have good decision makers at the head, and to have a written agreement that clearly sets forth rights and responsibilities. There should be clearly stated remedies for partners who don't pay their share or want to sell out, as well as provisions for distributing the proceeds if a horse is sold or if insurance is paid for loss or injury.
Owning a horse and watching it compete, as well as being part of every step along the way, is definitely on the bucket list for many. There is a wealth of information online, as well as great pictures of magnificent horses offered to those who want to buy a share. The whole exciting world of racing is open, and it can be enjoyed with a properly structured and operated partnership agreement.
