Equine Prep, LLC's purpose is to generate profits from the purchase,
development, management and eventual resale of Thoroughbreds.
Equine Prep provides successful, professional management services whose
results have been nationally recognized. Our focus is to work with highly
successful individuals that want to compete at the highest levels of the
Thoroughbred Racing Industry. We are a boutique firm with a select
group of private clients.
Selection
is the first and most important phase of any Thoroughbred
prospect. The process begins with a skilled evaluation of a horse's physical
profile, pedigree and movement. This process may be considered similar to a pro draft
for human athletes.
Development,
the second phase, varies depending upon the type of
purchase. Weanlings are purchased toward the end of their first year of life
and sold the following summer/fall as yearlings. Yearlings are purchased
during their second year and then are sold the following winter/spring as
two-year-olds. Horses currently racing are selected on projection of future
development and current conditions. Broodmares are selected based upon stallion
breedings and foal production.
Management
is the process of acquiring information, digesting details,
considering alternative decisions and then advising our clients. As
one of our clients, Dr. John Waken, of GEM, Inc. states, "I lost money for
38 straight years as a racehorse owner. I know that I don't know
enough about the business. That's why I hired Equine Prep...to
keep me in the loop and make decisions in my best interest. For the last six
years my relationship with Equine Prep has provided profitability and
success at the very highest levels of the game."
Sales
complete the process. Equine Prep, LLC sells prospects at public
auction or privately through contacts in the Thoroughbred Industry. By participating in both private
sales and
public auctions, the company stays current with market trends and can move accordingly.
