Join Our Team!
Invictus Eventing is actively seeking Owners and Partners who will enjoy the journey of developing an event horse, the thrill of competition, and the rewards that come with building a team through training, hard work and fun!
Syndication now makes it easier and more affordable than ever before to team up with a talented horse and an experienced rider, trainer and coach and help assist them to their 5* goals.
What is syndication?
Horse syndication has been around for decades in the thoroughbred horse racing industry. Syndication enables a much broader base of supporters, from all walks of life, areas and interests, to have direct involvement and impact on the development of a horse at the upper levels of the sport. Often viewed as a form of entertainment, there is the possibility of your horse’s value appreciating considerably, however the goal will be centered on developing a horse for 5* competition and eventually representing Team USA at international events.
By joining a horse’s team through syndication you are mitigating the risks associated with ownership and reducing the monetary outlay both upfront and in continuing care costs. The best part is, there is an syndication entry level for everyone and anyone! Joining a syndicate opens up participation to a much wider community of fans and supporters as well as builds a healthier and stronger sporting community.
Buying upfront shares are determined by a combination of factors but primarily on the number of shares offered and level of experience of the horse. Typically, the horse’s value gradually increases as his or her career develops… this is what makes ownership of a young prospect so exciting; you get to be a part of your horse’s growth, development and success. As not every horse will live up to its potential, the decision may be made to sell the horse and return the current value of each share to each owner or roll the money over into a new horse.
The on-going maintenance costs, which include but are not limited to; board, feed, vet bills, insurance, farrier, and shipping, remain fairly consistent through the horses career.
Who is part of the Team?
The Team consists of 6-8 members in addition to Heather riding the horse, which will receive top quality care from Heather, the Team Invictus staff, veterinarians, chiropractors, body work specialists, farriers, and some amazing sponsors.
How do I join?
We wouldn’t expect you to make such an important decision from information on a website, so please contact Heather for more information as well as to receive a copy of the Syndication Agreement. The contract has been drafted in an attempt to define all of the terms of the agreement so that there are no unwanted surprises and is important and necessary to protect all of the syndicate members including the horse. Once you are part of the Team, you’ll be included in updates about your horse’s training progress and competition schedule.
If you decide that this syndication commitment is not for you, the other members of the Syndicate have first right of refusal to purchase the share(s). If the value of the share(s) cannot be agreed upon by the membership, the shares will be put up for sale and once you’ve received the proceeds of the sale of your share(s), you are no longer bound by the agreement.
Next Steps
