Overview

Racehorse ownership can be a very exciting and enjoyable experience. Ask any racehorse owner and they will tell you that owning - in part or whole - a winning racehorse is one of life's greatest joys. But
racehorse ownership can also require tremendous patience and can involve frustration and disappointment. There is never any guarantee that even the most expensive horse will succeed. After all, racehorses, like professional footballers and athletes, can suffer from injuries and set backs. For most owners, however, the expense and potential disappointment are not enough to diminish their
enthusiasm for the sport and their desire for a glorious winner. For further information on racehorse ownership you might like to contact the Racehorse Owners Association who can provide you with general advice.
