Bringing Experienced Owners Together
Joining Forces to Buy Better Horses
Our unique approach brings owners together to share the costs, risks and enjoyment of owning racehorses. We organise partnerships ourselves, for other owners and directly for trainers. We do it for the love of the sport and not for profit.

Four Key Goals that Guide How We Operate
- Everyone is a Full Owner: no matter what size the share, we want owners to be properly treated, particularly by trainers and the racecourses. We’ve joined the RSA to foster improvement with the tracks.
- Open Access to Trainers: we encourage frequent yard visits and close involvement. There is nothing more important than owners really enjoying and following the progress of their horse.
- Excellent Communications: such a vital part of being an owner. As a minimum we do an email update every week on each horse; a fortnightly blog; privileged access to the Owners’ Area on this web site; and regular circulation of photos and videos.
- Value for Money: keeping all costs to the necessary minimum is so important in this expensive game. We do all the VAT reclaims for each partnership, liaise carefully with trainers to monitor costs, produce an annual account for every horse and are fully transparent on all charges.
