OWNERSHIP & FEES
Ownership
This is probably better covered with an informal chat so please give me call and we can talk through the options. We can also arrange a stable visit should you wish. In summary there are many ways to get into ownership and I will always do my best to welcome new owners to the yard. We can arrange the leases of horses, purchases of horses, syndicates and partnerships of various sizes as well as sole ownership. I can be very flexible to accommodate all budgets so everyone can get involved and enjoy ownership at Heyward Place.

Overall Costs An overview of costs is detailed in this section. All training fees will be laid out in a training agreement between the owner and trainer. These agreements are approved by both the Racehorse owners association and the National Trainers Federation. Invoices will be raised monthly in arrears.
Training Fees
Our training fees are very competetive and we offer first class facilities, excellent results and quality service for a great value price. Please call Bill to talk about this further as we are flexible and want to welcome new owners to Heyward Place. At present owners can register for VAT and provided they can show they have generated business income they can reclaim that part (15%). This can be done by setting up a simple sponsorship agreement and we can arrange sponsorship for you and deal with the paperwork. If you require further information on the sponsorship scheme please contact me.
Gallop fees are payable to use Newmarket Heath and this is paid directly by the owner to Jockey Club Estates via Weatherbys if the horse uses the gallops during each month. Please speak to Bill about the costs and gallops available.
Farrier, Vets, Supplements, Equine Therapy and Transportare other additional costs. We really focus on managing the costs and making your expenses as economical as possible, for example, we have our own Horsebox and can offer owners a much lower price than external transport companies. We communicate closely with our owners and really aim to give you value for money so you can really enjoy your racing.
Our farriers priority is the horses wellbeing however he also works to keep farrier costs down to a minimum.
Vets/DentistThis will include annual vaccinations and dental check ups and any injuries or ailments that require veterinary attention. This may also include getting horses blood tested or having them scoped but this would be agreed with the owner beforehand.
Supplements - We monitor all our horses health and diets and in some circumstances it may be necessary to give specific supplements to a horse for a period of time. Again this would be agreed with the owner beforehand.
We have access to a number of therapies, for example, equine Swimming pool, massage and chiropractors. In certain circumstances this may be of benefit. Again this would be agreed with the owner beforehand.
TransportWe have invested in our own new horsebox and more details can be found in the 'Facilities' section on this site. The main advantage to owners in relation to costs is that because we have our own transport we can make sure owners are charged less than using external transport companies. This also reduces the risk of horses contracting viruses from horses from other yards.
