A horse as an investment

As a result of globalization, the equestrian sport sector has expanded both nationally and internationally. In fact, over the last two decades, it has evolved into a viable industry. Experiencing high growth rates unlike other sectors and continuing to grow throughout the recession, the horse industry has become a full-fledged business.

The sport’s increasing popularity in the Near East, Asia, Russia, and South America, in addition to its already existing notoriety in Europe and North America, has boosted the demand for horses, while main breeding countries, like Germany and France, have reported declining breeding rates. This means that fewer horses will be available on the market in the future.

What’s more, the decline in supply has caused prices to rise, especially for show horses that received professional training and have competition experience. Now is the perfect time to invest!

Investment options

The simplest way to invest in a horse is through a partnership arrangement. Show horse owners seeking investors offer shares in their horse. Usually, they ask for a few hundred dollars per share as an upfront investment ad a fixed monthly fee to help with feed, veterinary bills, stabling costs, transportation, as well as training and rider fees.

Another way to invest in show horses is to actually purchase one. An investor can choose to buy a young prospect and hire a trainer, who will take the horse to the highest level of performance. It is also possible to invest in a mid-career horse whose price is determined based on its pedigree and competition results. In any event, TNF has a selection of horses available, obtained through purchase or opportunity, to accommodate investor demand.

Finally, an investor can also decide to sponsor a show horse. in this case, the investor basically pays for general expenses throughout the competition season.
