Frequently asked questions

What are the costs of owning a racehorse?

When a horse is claimed by us, the cost can range from $20,000 to $100,000. To fit the needs of different individuals, we offer fractional ownership starting as low as 10% (owning in multiple horses if you'd like!) and all the way up to 100% ownership.

Is there a monthly fee involved after ownership?

Yes. For example, if you own 10% of a racehorse, the monthly fee would be about $350 per month, which includes training fees, shoeing, vet expenses, etc. As a bonus, your horse's purse earnings can be put towards your monthly fees.

What are the benefits of owning a racehorse?

There are many benefits when owning a racehorse. Some of those include coming to the barn, meeting the staff and seeing your horse in training. (You can feed them some carrots too!) Come race day, you can grab your seats to watch the experience in person and meet the jockey pre-race to discuss strategy. After a win, you'll have an overwhelming sense of pride standing alongside your horse in the winner's circle. The thrill of racehorse ownership is unlike any other experience out there.

How are the horses treated?

Horses are extraordinary creatures and are treated with the utmost respect in our barn. Along with regular grooming, they receive thermal blankets, ice therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture. Nutrition is also important, and we feed our horses with the best ingredients to maintain them at peak performance. Our horses are our family, and they are treated as such.
