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.
