If the horse goes on to be a superstar you are the individual that owns the animal. But you will also be solely responsible for the purchase price of the horse however great or small, as well as the training fees.
Co-Ownership - In racehorses this is an increasingly popular route into ownership. This is where more than one person has ownership in the horse and the costs and enjoyment are shared.
Different Types of Co-ownership
Joint Ownership - Consists of between 2 and 20 people owning one horse. The horse can run in either a joint ownership name or the name of a joint owner. This form of ownership is usually best suited to a very small group of people where each member wants to be registered as an owner in their own right.
Racing Partnership - Consists of between 2 to 20 individuals of which at least two must become nominated partners. A single racing partnership registration with Weatherbys may cover any number of horses owned by the partnership for example a group of friends or work colleagues, or it may be professionally run.
