Horse Racing Syndicates: How to Share Costs and Own a Racehorse Keep the partnership simple and get everything in writing. Find a horse you like and a great veterinarian you trust. Decide how many shares will be offered in a horse. Choose your trainer wisely. Map out a plan and consult with your partners and trainer.
How many people are normally in a horse racing syndicate? This can vary, but normally racehorse syndicates have between 8 and 20 people as members.
A syndicate is a group of between 3 – 100 people. Horse(s) will race under the syndicate name and carry the syndicate colours. A syndicate has one agent responsible for administration and management. All syndicates are required to have a syndicate agreement and code of conduct.
Social Structure A herd of wild horses consists of one or two stallions, a group of mares, and their foals. The leader of the herd is usually an older mare (the “alpha mare”), even though one stallion owns the herd. She maintains her dominant role even though she may be physically weaker than the others.
