WHERE TO START

Being a racehorse owner in Ireland combines the very best of sport with a social experience like no other. From visiting the trainer’s yard to watching your horse work on the gallops to the build-up to the race itself, it is a unique and very special experience.

There is an ownership type to suit all budgets. The first step is to decide what type of ownership format will suit you. Do you wish to own a horse on your own ‘Sole Owner’ or would you like to own a horse with other people ‘Multiple Ownership’?    

From there you can decide if you would prefer to race a horse on the Flat or National Hunt (over fences), who you would like to train your horse and where to source your horse.
