By Freida Michael


If one has quite a bit of money on his hands and would want to elevate himself to the rather uppity class of society, then one way to do so would be to buy a racehorse. Horse racing is actually a sport that many rich men participate in because horses have been known to be very classy and majestic animals. Now if one is new at this and does not know how to go about, here are some things to know about how to own a racehorse.

Now before one would actually try to even buy a horse, he has to make sure he does his homework on breeds. Now some breeds are natural racers while the others would need to go through extra training in order to perform well. It will help if he has a contact or friend in this industry wherein he can seek some help.

Now once one has already decided which breeds he should then take into consideration the costs that he will be incurring when he pushes through. Now as stated above, there are horses that can perform better than others which would make these horses actually more expensive. So aside from the breed of the horses, he also has to take note as to how much the different breeds would cost.

Now from there, one would already have to canvas as to where and how he is going to buy his horse. First, he has to know if he is owning a horse on his own and earning the profits his horse make on his own or establish a partnership on the ownership of the horse and split the profits among the partners. Obviously both have their own pros and cons and would depend on the situation.

Now after that has all been done, then one now has to look for a seller to get his horse. Now the very first place that one will probably think of looking would be in racing arenas. Of course there are also some auctions that would sell purebreds to the highest bidder. There are other people who have friends in high places and can buy one from them.

Once one has already gotten his horse, he would then have to factor in the costs that would be used for the maintenance of the animal. This would include food, shelter, and all its basic necessities. Other than that, there would also be the vitamins and supplements that the horse would need to be strong.

Lastly, one would need to hire a good trainer to be able to train to horse to perform well. Now there are a lot of experienced horse trainers that can be found in this industry who are just waiting to train horses. One has to just factor in this to the costs that will be incurred when maintaining a horse.

Now as soon as every aspect of this has been taken care of, then he can already send his horse to competitions. He will also need to get himself a good racer to ride the horse as well. From there, he will be able to compete with other horses in races.
