On November 24, Grand River Raceway will host an information night for ‘The Stable,’ a new horse ownership venture launched by Anthony and Amy MacDonald.
The Guelph couple own and train several Standardbred racehorses near Mohawk Racetrack. Anthony is also a prominent driver and a well-known industry advocate.
The information session will focus on the benefits of The Stable (thestable.ca) for new horse owners — people who would find comfort in the decreased risk and diversity of fractional racehorse ownership.
The MacDonalds will also highlight the operation’s transparency, access, and availability of information.
Via the website, owners of horses in The Stable are updated on their horses’ progress through weekly video commentaries from the trainer, vets and blacksmiths, and 360-degree video views of the horses training.
The cost to purchase the horse, and also the flat-rate monthly training fee of $2,000 are shared by the fractional ownership group, where someone could purchase as little as one per cent, and as much as 100 per cent.
At least one of the horses in The Stable will be at the information night.
