TheStable.ca will host its annual Spring Open House on May 13 at Tomiko Training Centre near Puslinch.
The event is free to attend and all ages are welcome. An RSVP is requested and lunch will be available on site.
The event runs from 10am to 3pm and features 54 of The Stable’s 103 horses training in sets on the racetrack.
The races will be captured by drone camera and streamed on The Stable’s website.
The broadcast begins at 10am and will include interviews, feature stories about the horses, and commentary from show hosts and drivers on the racetrack.
Throughout the day, guests can meet the horses, plus clients and staff of The Stable. Shares are available for some of the horses, and purchases can be made on-site. Clients can purchase as little as one share, which currently run as low as $95 (plus tax).
A fixed monthly fee of $23.85 (plus tax) per share covers the horse’s daily care and training.
Prizes for guests and current members of The Stable include five one-percent shares in a horse in The Stable.
A new highly coveted prize comes from Dave Landry, an award-winning equine photographer and member of The Stable.
Landry will capture an image of the winning horse owner with their horse and The Stable will have the portrait reproduced as a 16×20 print on canvas.
There are currently 103 horses and 426 active racehorse owners from 10 countries in The Stable.
Trainers Anthony and Amy MacDonald launched the venture in 2015 as a fractional ownership stable — a model which welcomes newcomers to horse ownership with a very modest and low-risk investment, and completely accessible and transparent operations.
A catalogue will be available on The Stable.ca website on May 11 detailing all horses for which shares are available for purchase at the Open House.
The catalogue will include a schedule of when each horse will be showcased on the broadcast.
