Owners
Looking after the horses is only half the job as a trainer,
looking after the owners is just as important! Where possible,
horses will be raced locally and on days that owners can attend,
as having a fun day out at the races is the reason why the horse
is in training. Enjoyment of a day out at the races is that much
more of an experience when y ou can shout your own horse home at
your local track.
Harriet believes in getting owners involved in watching
horses gallop and school and keeping them informed and involved
in race plans. We use text messaging and e-mail to keep owners
up to date with race plans and the well being of their horses.
We will try to maximise the rate of return for owners by
looking for races with appearance money, small fields and prize
money for more than the first three horses to finish.
We also run two syndicates in order to provide a
cheaper option to becoming a racehorse owner. We follow racing
industry best practice standards and use Trainer/Owner contracts
as drawn up by the national trainers Federation and Racehorse
Owners Association.
