Becoming an owner

An image of two horses racing

There are over 14,000 registered owners in the UK, all of whom play a huge role in supporting this great sport we love.

From purchasing your horse at the sales, through naming and choosing your very own racing silks, arriving at the track to see your horse run, to leading them into the winners enclosure, owning a racehorse is a remarkable journey.

To get started and complete your application, the BHA’s owners toolkit has all the information you need and can easily guide you through the process.

Every applicant will be subject to identity and credit checks and have to be approved by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA). The majority of applications are completed within two working days.

We also have a dedicated email account for ownership enquiries, so please feel free to send any questions you may have to registrations@weatherbys.co.uk.
