OWNERSHIP
OWNERSHIP OPTIONS AT SEAN WOODS RACING
At Sean Woods Racing we are thrilled to welcome new owners with us at Shalfleet Stables. Whether you are an existing registered owner who wishes to send us your horse/s to train or whether you are entirely new to race horse ownership. Our dedicated team are on hand to guide you through all the help you need to bring your ownership dreams to reality.
We offer world class facilities for your individual horse or group of horses. We are well-known for our attention to detail, with our high standards of routine every day horse care, race preparation and planning.
Below sets out a short guide to ownership options.
SOLE
For anyone wishing to own or lease a horse outright, set up or join a Partnership or register a Syndicate or Racing Club.
JOINT
For two or more people who want to share the ownership of (or lease) one or more horses, and where all members of the Partnership are registered owners. Partnerships allow owners to define the percentage of each horse they own and split costs and winnings in accordance with ownership share.
SYNDICATE
For people who want to share the ownership of (or lease) one or more horses. A Syndicate is managed and administered by the Syndicator/s. Only the syndicator/s must register as a Sole/Company owner. It isn't necessary for members of the Syndicate to register as owners.
RACING CLUB
For people who want to pay a subscription to experience racehorse ownership. A Racing Club is managed and administered by the Club manager/s and it is the Club itself, as opposed to its members, that owns or leases the horse/s. Members pay a fee to be part of club and to enjoy some of the benefits of racehorse ownership. Only individuals who want to set up or administer a Racing Club must register as a Sole/Company owner. It isn’t necessary for members of a Racing Club to register as owners.
