Do you want to own part of the horse who placed 10th at the World Equestrian Games? If so, I have good news. Boyd has announced on his blog that he is syndicating Neville Bardos. There are 10 shares for sale at US$15,000 each and an annual maintenance fee of $3,000. You can read more about the syndication at Boyd’s blog and the syndication agreement. Of course, Boyd’s goal is to compete at the London Olympics and Neville will be 13 years in 2012. With two more years of dressage training, Neville would have a shot at placing really well.
Syndications are being championed by some very influential people in eventing as a way to get more people involved in horse ownership. I have no doubt that Boyd will find 10 solid buyers and hopefully this will be a model for the future to allow more riders to keep competing the horses that they have spent so much time developing.
Go eventing.
