Harness Racehorse Ownership Registration (Harness Racing) - New South Wales

Description

There are a variety of ways you can register ownership. These include:

  • Sole ownership: where you take full responsibility for the horse and have complete control over all decisions.
  • Partnership: consists of between two and 20 people who share ownership. This means associated costs with the ownership of the horse are split amongst members and decisions must be approved by all members.
