Check with a trainer of racehorses to find out more about what purchasing and owning such an animal entails. The undertaking can be pleasurable and lucrative or heartbreaking, with not much to show in the way of earnings or a horse that is injured. Horses are living creatures and are just not able to be predictable all the time. However, there are seven things that the potential racehorse buyer should take into account.
Is a Racehorse in the Budget?
Even a jade ridden for pleasure can be expensive to maintain. A racehorse has a lot of requirements: food, shelter, and other specialists to take care of and train the animal. Permits and insurances must be obtained and paid for. It takes money to transport a racehorse between tracks over the course of a season.
A Pedigree
Someone who is looking to own a racehorse needs to know the stock it comes from. Who's the dam? Who's the father? Do you think we can find them and their ancestors in the General Stud Book? What are the names of the horse's siblings, whether they are full or half? Have they performed well on this particular course?
The Horse's Conformation
The great champion Seabiscuit was a horse with a strange, eggbeater action when he ran, but he did run despite. Different horses may not adjust for mistakes in a similar way. If possible, the potential buyer needs to see the horse run around several laps.
What Gender?
Does the owner want to see what a filly can do? Naturally, there are gifted fillies and there are certain competitions, such as those at Ribblesdale and Falmouth, in which only fillies compete. Would the owner like a gelding, which will not be able to collect stud fees if he proves to be championship material? Owners may return to the gelding's parents for another, improbable champion, but it's not the same.
Where Do They Want to Race the Horse?
Some horses excel on Epsom, Doncaster, and other flat racing courses. Others are good at National Hunt races like Cheltenham, or mixed racecourses like Folkestone or Kempton Park. If a horse owner wants to sign up a horse for a National or mixed hunt after a flat racing career, they need to make certain that a racehorse trainer gets the horse ready for it. Some horses simply don't like to jump, and won't.
Will They Want to Maintain the Horse If It's Not a Winner?
In other words, how long will the owner tolerate a horse that's costing them lots of money?
What Do They Plan To Do With the Horse After Retirement?
The most a horse can run competitively is several years. Horses can survive for up to thirty years, and while champions, both male and female can be moneymakers, not all horses are suitable for breeding. Is the owner going to keep them on private property, sell them to someone who loves horses, send them to a slaughterhouse or another place or give them to a charitable organization?
