Q1 - How many owners does each horse have?

A3 - Yes you can.

Q4 - Can I leave the syndicate before the minimum term is up?
A4 - Yes you can, but you will lose you upfront payment and your share of any resale. 

Q5 - Do you charge commission on any prize money won?
A5 - Unlike several other syndicates, we do not charge any commission.

Q6 - Do I pay VAT on my purchase and monthly payments?

Q7 - Do I have to pay any vet bills?
A7 - No. Your monthly payment is all inclusive. There is nothing extra to pay at all.

Q8 - Instead of paying monthly, can I make lump sum payments?
Q8 - Yes you can. 3, 6 or 12 months are all accepted.

Q9 - Will I get an owners badge when my horse runs at the races?
Q9 - Our aim is for everyone to see their horse at the races. If more owners want to attend than available badges, then a ballot system will be used to allocate badges. We will aim to get as many badges as possible from each racecourse.

Q10 - What is the difference between a full ownership and leasing share?
Q10 - A full ownership share means that you actually own the percentage purchased. If/when the horse is sold, you will receive your percentage of the sales proceedings. A leased share will entitle you to all of the benefits of a full ownership share, except you will not be entitled to any of the sales proceedings if/when sold.
