The sport of kings, open to everyone.

Horse racing may be known as the “Sport of Kings” but nowadays ownership is available to everyone. Racehorse ownership is a form of recreation, not an investment, and there are several ways to enjoy the thrill.

Types of ownership

Choose the level of involvement that suits you.

Racehorse ownership is a form of recreation, not an investment. We are happy to talk through the practicalities and help you find a way to enjoy the sport.

01

Sole ownership

You own the horse outright and become a registered owner with Weatherbys. It suits someone who wants the closest say in the horse’s journey and is happy to carry the costs alone.

02

Joint ownership

Two to 12 people share a horse as registered owners, with each person’s percentage recorded. It is a good fit for close friends who want to share the experience.

03

Racing partnership

Between two and 20 people can form a partnership and share the costs and any prize money. It makes ownership more accessible to a larger group of friends.

04

Company ownership

A horse can be registered to a company, offering a distinctive way to entertain clients, build team spirit or give a business a memorable presence at the races.
