Glebe Farm Breeding Syndicates

Some of you will know that Nick has a couple of farms in North East Lincolnshire that has grown from a retreat for the horses having a break from training or getting over an injury, into a 100-acre breeding operation with around 50 horses on site throughout the year.

We know that many of you enjoy ‘Stable Visits’ as much as a ‘Day at the Races’ and we plan to offer you the opportunity to visit and get involved in breeding thoroughbreds in 2024

and onwards.

We are going to source horses for two different projects:

project 1

This is a project that will have a 12-18 month maximum project length.

The covering season in the UK and Europe is February to May.

We plan to recruit fillies who have raced on the track and have either strong pedigrees or been successful on the track achieving a high official rating and preferably blacktype.

The fillies will be covered in the subsequent covering season and then presented to be sold at the December Mares Sale either at Newmarket or in Deauville.

The sales proceeds will then be settled to the shareholders in January.

project 2

This will be an annual rolling project.

A filly or in foal mare will be recruited and she will foal each year on the Farm in the foaling season (January to April). The mare will be covered in Feb – May with the aim of getting her back in foal.

The mare and foal will live on the farm until the weaning stage (July – September). The foal will be then sold at the November Foal Sales and the sales proceeds will then be settled in January.

THE MARKET

The thoroughbred market has seen a significant shift in recent years with the dynamics of the market changing in each sector. The bottom end of the market has weakened dramatically from a fragile original position and is very much not the sector of the market to operate in. The middle of the market lacks strength at some sales and has dipped over the course of the last five years. The higher end of the market has gone from strength to strength in recent years and the demand at the sales for a Thoroughbred who ticks every box has never been stronger. With this in mind, breeding syndicates are the perfect model to allow people to breed high end racing stock with the best pedigrees and then race or present their progeny for sale.

Huge financial gains are possible from the Bloodstock industry.

The Syndicates offer you the opportunity to do the following:

Using the Project 1 model, Nick has already bought fillies, covered and represented for huge gains:

VENTURA MIST bought for £60,000 (£20,000 cover) sold for £185,000
DOGSTAR bought for £8,000 (£15,000 cover) sold for £82,000.
VIVID DREAM bought for €36,000 (€17,500 cover) sold for €125,000. (2020)

Using the Project 2 model, Nick has bought the following mares in foal in recent years:

SAFIYNA bought for 105,000 Euros in foal to Dark Angel. Foal sold the following year for £240,000.
SECRETS AWAY bought for £60,000 in foal to Dark Angel. Foal sold the following year for £145,000.
SEAHORN bought for 27,000 Euros in foal to Wootton Bassett. Foal sold the following year for £65,000.

Both projects offer their investors the following:

Follow the progress of the mares and foals with updates, regular organised and independent visits to the farms. Weekend visits available with outstanding local accommodation.
Follow the progress of the mares and foals with access to the CCTV system which can be viewed via mobile phone, Ipad or any PC or TV.
Select a covering stallion each year from a shortlist of stallions provided by Nick and his advisors.
Receive your % of the sales proceeds from each of the progeny sold. Retain your % in the progeny if they are placed into training.
Learn about the industry through Farm visits, Sales visits, Stud visits and guest speakers arranged by Nick and his team.
