Syndication with Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds

_MRP1836.jpeg

The Full Ownership Experience—Only Shared

Life Well Raced

Racehorse syndication is shared ownership.
Instead of one person owning the horse outright, ownership is divided into shares — allowing a group of people to co-own the horse together as a syndicate.

Enjoy all the access, excitement, and prestige of sole ownership—at a fraction of the cost.

At Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds, we run boutique syndicates made up of a small group of like-minded owners—typically just 5 to 15 per horse. This allows us to offer a highly personal, ownership-style experience usually reserved for sole owners.

You’re buying a real equity share—not a token lease percentage or membership subscription. That means a pro-rata share of prize money & sale proceeds, full input & transparency on race planning, stable visits when you wish, & owners’ & trainers’ badges on race days.

Trusted By Owners

  • Rob, Syndicate Owner

    "Had been looking at various syndicate and racing club options before taking the plunge with Brownsbarn. Was the best decision I could have made, outstanding experience from start to finish. From stable and stud visits to the numerous racecourse trips with the owners badges, I’ve got some incredible memories I will cherish forever. The pinnacle was undoubtably seeing Attrazione win at Southwell and receiving the race winners trophy. Charlie, Thomas and George add hugely to the project with their depth of industry knowledge. I was lucky enough to be involved in the first winner in the Brownsbarn colours and they are already pushing towards double figures just over 12 months later. I’ll definitely be getting involved again in the future."

  • Paul, Syndicate Owner

    "Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds are a great racing syndicate to be apart of and come highly recommended. Their communication skills are first class and they value all members no matter how small the shareholding."

  • Jim, Syndicate Owner

    "Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds are a really top class, practical and professional outfit in terms of getting racing enthusiasts like myself into horse ownership and at the coal face of flat & national hunt racing while also keeping a close knit “community” spirit to the whole aspect of a racing syndicate. The lads, George, Tommy and Charlie have buckets of knowledge, knowhow and a fantastic contact base which ensures that even as a common horse racing punter you feel your on a winner when making the transition into the owners enclosure. As Big Tom would say from “Skidrow Joe or Superstar” with a modest or big budget the lads caters and treats everyone the same. An opportunity not to be missed..!"

  • Nick, Syndicate Owner

    “What a brilliant way to get into racehorse ownership. George and Thomas keep you fully informed with regular updates and videos, even live interviews with your jockey within minutes of a race. Stable visits, race day owners badges all included. We will definitely join again!”


  • Kitty, Syndicate Owner

    “The team were so welcoming and a delight to deal with. I thoroughly recommend joining Brownsbarn as the experience is second to none! Thank you so much to everyone for such a fabulous time.”

  • Jon, Syndicate Owner

    “We’ve had so much fun in the last year with Bally T — the pinnacle being the win at Ascot. Everyone at Brownsbarn has been amazing, with a special mention to Charlie, who has gone above and beyond. Thank you so much for all your efforts, and fingers crossed we have as much fun in 2025!”

  • Kevin, Syndicate Owner

    “It’s been a very exciting start being part of a Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds syndicate — very professional, personal, and a pleasure to be part of. We’ve had so much fun and created some amazing memories, with hopefully lots more to come. I highly recommend Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds. Huge thanks to Charlie, Tommy, and George for running such an enjoyable and very informative racing syndicate.”

  • Dean, Syndicate Owner

    “The Brownsbarn team are great. It was my first experience of even getting close to owning a racehorse, and I enjoyed every aspect of it. We had some fab days at the races, and our horse even got its nose in front — which was a massive bonus! Happy days! I would highly recommend Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds to anyone thinking of getting involved.”

  • Sean, Syndicate Owner

    "Great syndicate and well run."
    "Here’s to more success."

  • Simon, Syndicate Partner

    "Knowledge. Energy. Heart."
    "Engaging with Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds is an experience of a lifetime. Fully recommended."

  • Pat, Syndicate Owner

    “Brownsbarn is as hands-on and close-knit as it gets. You’re treated like an owner, no matter what share you hold. I’ve taken a few of the regulars to the races, and even the old boys in the pub keep an eye out for our horse. Win, lose or draw, we all head back to the Sheephaven together.

    I’m a publican, mixing with farmers and real estate agents—none of that matters. What brings us together is the thrill of race day and the pride of seeing our horse run.”

Respected By The Industry

  • Trainer: Jack Morland

    “I’ve really enjoyed training for Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds. The relationship between trainer and the syndicate managers works really well, and they’ve brought a nice bunch of owners into the yard who love the experience. The three guys have got a great understanding of both the racing and bloodstock sides of the industry. We’ve sourced two fun horses together so far, I’m looking forward to finding the next one with them.”

  • Trainer: James Owen

    “Charlie, George and Tommy at Brownsbarn always send us a nice type. Well sourced and punch above their weight on the track. They’re good help when it comes to campaigning the horses as they know their stuff. We have had great success together over the years and we love having their owners around the yard. They offer a fantastic route into ownership for anyone looking to get involved.”

  • Consignor/Stud Owner: Fearghal Hogan

    “I’ve known George since our days in America, so it’s been great to see how he and the lads have built Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds. We were thrilled to sell them a winner along the way. They’ve got a real knack for spotting value in the ring and aren’t afraid to back their judgement, even when it means going against the grain.”

  • Trainer: James Horton

    “I’ve really enjoyed training for Brownsbarn. They’re a pleasure to work with as they understand the job inside out and make it easy by staying closely involved and communicating well with their owners. I’m looking forward to the year ahead and beyond training for them and all their owners”

  • Jockey: Dan Muscutt

    “Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds is an excellent, professionally run syndicate I've been fortunate to ride winners for. They buy quality horses, place them smartly, and always have a great group of knowledgeable owners there to greet me in the parade ring. Brownsbarn offers a brilliant way into racehorse ownership.”

 FAQs

  • All horses in our care that aren’t up to racing, are sold for breeding or retrained for other equine pursuits. Whichever is the best option for the horse.

  • Each horse is split into 100 shares. We have a 25 share limit per owner. A syndicate could range in number from 4 -100 different owners. Typically there are 10 - 30 owners in each horse. We like to keep numbers that encourage serendipity by meeting like minded people.

  • Dependent on the horse in question. We run our syndicates on an upfront acquisition fee and monthly payment structure. Shares can range from 300€ - 1000€ followed by monthly fees (typically €35 - €50/share) to cover training and racing fees, starting at a predefined date. We aim for each of our horses to be sold within the first year, but as we all know horses are horses. Athletes in training can encounter problems that upset the best made plans.

  • No. There are no other costs involved other than the initial share purchase price and the monthly racing fee. The monthly fee will always stay the same.
