| The various types of Ownership:
Sole Ownership: Sole ownership by private individuals is still the most common form of ownership of racehorses in Britain despite the current emphasis on marketing of partnerships and syndicates. The same applies at Mark Johnston Racing. The majority of our horses are owned by individuals, companies, and small select partnerships. We, therefore, take great care to ensure that such owners are properly catered for and are given personal attention to suit all their requirements.More Racing Partnerships: Find out about available Partnerships at MJR.

Corporate Ownership: Mark Johnston has been a great advocate of corporate ownership since the very beginning of his training career and made a name for himself in the early days with horses for Hinari Consumer Electronics, Baileys Horse Feeds and Brian Yeardley Continental Limited. More
