MISSION STATEMENT
High Kings Racing is committed to creating trust and integrity in the thoroughbred industry by thinking like a newcomer to the business and sharing all aspects of rewards, knowledge, & benefits that accompany ownership.
High Kings isn’t just about owning, buying, or breeding racehorses. It’s about re-focusing on results-driven training & breeding rather than overall market value at Sales. We breed and train to run – that’s the High Kings way!
All horses in the High Kings barn are available for ownership benefits*
OUR HORSES
“I didn’t grow up around horses but have loved them ever since I was a little girl… I am a very holistic person who believes in positivity and healing, so when I got into racing, I wanted to stay true to that. But I didn’t know where to go. I could not be more grateful to have found High Kings.”
ABOUT HIGH KINGS RACING
est 2015
Rumored to be legendary kings that reigned over the entire island of Ireland as early as ~1500 BC, the High Kings of Ireland are highly revered figures in Irish history and mythology. The High Kings were typically portrayed in Irish oral history over time as honorable Kings who were free of blemish, enforcing prerogatives and avoiding taboos.
And that was exactly the kind of honor that founder, Martin Somers, wanted to bring to his new business venture…
“It is important to remember that our core mission is to elevate the practices of the thoroughbred industry – to tackle hard problems or the things that happen in a way that we can be proud of,” Somers said.
So entitling High Kings Racing after its historical namesake felt like a sign from the stars and was a perfect kick-off to Somers’ vision of honesty, integrity, and respect for the animals.
It’s proud yellow and royal purple silks also pay homage to High Kings’ dedication and commitment to an honorable reign. “They bring the spirit and energy of what we are trying to build to life,” Somers said, “and are always definitely a delightful sight in the paddock!”
Whether you’re looking to buy a racehorse, hoping to enjoy trackside benefits exclusive to owners, or just looking to get a taste of what horse ownership is like, High Kings Racing promises to share everything they know about their horses, the industry, and the wisdom they’ve learned along the way.
