Learn All About Racehorse Partnerships

By Stacey Burt


The internet is a great resource for those who want to learn about new opportunities. Owning a racehorse is beyond the scope of many people, but racehorse partnerships are bringing this thrill within reach. By going online, those who want the excitement that come with 'the sport of kings' can learn about what is involved, the risks and rewards, and the legalities.

Owning a share of a horse gives a person all the rights and privileges of an 'owner' (a license-carrying status) without the expense that sole possession entails. Keeping a horse at the track involves training fees, perhaps stall rental, daily maintenance feed and grooming costs, farrier and jockey fees, and entry fees. In all cases, at least some vet bills will be incurred, and injury can involve both expense and time.

Owners can visit the barn area - the backstretch - where daily tasks go on and horses go out for morning exercise and work-outs. This area is open only to licensed trainers, owners, exercise riders, jockeys and their agents, and grooms. For many, the backstretch is the most romantic part of the sport. There is hustle and bustle in the mornings, peace in the afternoon, and focused preparation at race time. After the race, there is a time of putting the horse to rest - cooling out, watering off, blanketing and bandaging - and the blow by blow replay of either victory or defeat.

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.

Thoroughbreds are offered online to those who want a share, as are standardbreds and quarterhorses. Top stables advertise horses already racing and earning money. The information provided details what is involved, including the name of the stable which will manage the entity and the trainer who will make most decisions. Interested parties can find lists of privileges and responsibilities.

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.

Trustworthy partners, good management at the top, and a clear, written agreement are vital to success. Partners may fail to pay their share or want to sell out, so remedies for this sort of scenarios must be established in writing. This protects the interests of all partners.

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.
