Shared ownership is an easy and affordable way to own a racehorse. In a group, the cost risk is reduced and the experiences are multiplied. There are several options, from smaller joint holdings of ten shares to large groups of up to a thousand shareholders. Horse owners always have free access to Vermo races when their own horse is racing. At major events, the number of people entitled to free admission may be limited.
Every Wednesday race days in 2025, horse owners will receive a free race program by showing Oma Talli ticket and a 15 percent discount on food products at all Vermo restaurant. The discount is only available with the Oma Talli ticket.
