What it costs

Cost per share

£10,300Covers the share and everything the horse costs. Nothing further to pay during the term. Because the payment also buys the share, it cannot be set against another operator's ongoing annual cost — which is why what a year costs isn't compared here.

Share size

At the end

You own a share of the horse and a share of anything it is sold for. What that will be worth is unknown.
