What it costs

Cost per share, whole term

£1,570Covers the share and everything the horse costs until 1 May 2027. 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

1% each, 1 of 100 shares

Term ends

1 May 2027

Insurance

Mortality cover with a theft extension; proceeds distributed among shareholders

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.

Read the operator's full written terms — we compare what is in them, but the document is theirs and you should read it.

If the horse's career ends

Aftercare

Xracehorse Club, a not-for-profit rehoming organisation run by the operator
