Do you train the horses yourselves?

No. Your horse is trained by a licensed trainer in the country where it races. We choose the trainer with you, agree the plan and supervise the training on your behalf.

What does racehorse management cost?

Our management service starts from US$2,000 per horse per month. The trainer's own fees, vet, farrier, entries and transport are billed separately at cost, and every bill is shown to you.

Can I own a horse in Europe while living in Dubai?

Yes. Many owners live far from their horses. We send you regular reports, videos and race plans, and arrange visits and race days when you want to come.

What we do for you

Choose the trainer with you. A licensed trainer whose yard, style and record suit your horse and your goals, in Britain, Ireland, France or the Gulf.
Agree a race plan. Target races, ratings and a realistic timeline, reviewed after every run.
Supervise the training. We stay in close contact with the trainer and see the horse regularly.
Monthly reports with photos or videos, the horse's condition and the next steps, in English or Arabic.
Vet and farrier oversight. Any treatment is explained to you in plain words before costs build up.
Entries, declarations and jockey bookings, agreed with the trainer.
Travel and race days. Transport for the horse, and badges and arrangements for you when you want to attend.
Honest decisions. If the horse would be better racing elsewhere, at a different level, or sold, we tell you.

Who looks after the horse every day

Your horse is trained by a licensed trainer from our network in the country where it races (trainers: apply to join). That is how racing works everywhere. Our job is to choose that trainer with you, agree the plan and supervise it on your behalf, so you have one trusted point of contact.

What it costs

Our management fee: from US$2,000 per horse per month, agreed in writing.
Billed separately, at cost: the trainer's training fees, vet, farrier, entries, jockey fees, transport and insurance. You see every bill.
We take nothing secretly from trainers, vets or shippers. Anything else we receive is disclosed to you.

Who it is for

Owners living in Dubai, Riyadh, Doha or Hong Kong with a horse in Europe.
First-time owners who want an expert alongside them. See our ownership consultancy.
Owners with several horses who want one person keeping track of everything.

Racing is never certain. Good management does not guarantee wins, but it gives your horse its best chance and keeps you informed and in control.
