Stallion syndications are contractual agreements where multiple parties combine their financial resources to purchase a stallion for breeding purposes. Each contributor or "owner" owns a "fractional interest" in the stallion, typically entitling them to one breeding right per breeding season. The farm or individual syndicating the stallion will generally retain multiple fractional interests. The arrangement provides for lowered costs and a more diverse breeding for the stallion.

A North Carolina Horse or Stallion Syndication Agreement refers to a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions under which multiple individuals can invest in and jointly own a horse or stallion for breeding or racing purposes in the state of North Carolina. This arrangement allows individuals to pool their financial resources and share the risks and benefits associated with horse ownership. The syndication agreement governs the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved, including the syndicate manager, syndicate members, and the horse or stallion owner. It typically includes provisions related to ownership shares, management responsibilities, financial obligations, breeding and racing rights, decision-making processes, and dispute resolution mechanisms. In North Carolina, there are generally two types of syndication agreement: 1. Breeding Syndicate Agreement: This type of agreement focuses on the syndication of stallions for breeding purposes. Syndicate members come together to acquire breeding rights and collectively manage the stallion's breeding career. The agreement may include clauses regarding the number of shares each member holds, the number of mares each member can breed, stud fees, distribution of breeding revenues, and the sale of offspring. 2. Racing Syndicate Agreement: This agreement revolves around the syndication of a racehorse. Syndicate members invest in the horse with the aim of participating in horse racing events and potentially earning prize money. The agreement typically covers the sharing of training, boarding, veterinary, and transportation expenses, as well as the distribution of any winnings or proceeds from the sale of the horse. Both types of syndication agreements require careful consideration of various key terms, such as duration of the agreement, termination provisions, rights of withdrawal or transfer of ownership shares, insurance coverage, and the appointment of a syndicate manager who oversees the day-to-day operations and decision-making processes. It is important for all parties involved in a North Carolina Horse or Stallion Syndication Agreement to seek legal advice and draft a comprehensive agreement that protects their interests, ensures transparency, and helps to avoid potential disputes or misunderstandings.
