Now that you have seen all the fun we have, it is time to look into race horse ownership for yourself. There are several ways to go about this. You have to start by figuring out what your initial budget will be. From there you need to decide if you want to buy privately, or at the sales, or claim a horse. There is the option of buying a mare and breeding your own, but as you can see from my foal page, that is a very long road.
It has often been said that buying the horse is the cheap part. Keep room in your budget for the trainers daily rate (I charge $50 per day) shoes, vet bills, pony fees and jock mounts. While all these fees can and do add up, nothing can compare to the feeling you get when your very own horse walks into the winner's circle.
I welcome inquiries into getting started in racing as well as taking new clients that already have race horses. Please contact me to get the ball rolling.
