Holy Cow - Horses involved with the mob?
LOL! I've no clue about horses even though my mother has two of them. They drive me nuts though. We have a huge amount of land and I'd rather see cows grazing rather than two ' piggish ' horses tearing up the fields. What a mess those fields are.
I think the Galloways didn't come to the US until sometime after WWII. I really dont know where they originated but they are beautiful animals. I worked with Jerseys as well. Very friendly.
I rode a bicycle to and from work and along the last 1/2 mile was a stretch of filed where older calfs would be held. One summer a calf befriended me. She began mooing at me whenever I rode by, then started running along the fence as I biked by. Eventually she'd be waiting for me at the edge of the field in the morning and as soon as I'd come into view she'd start her routine: running along keeping up with the bike and mooing her head off. I got into the habit of stopping after work to give her something to eat or just play with her.
I really liked those cows. Herding them into the fields after the morning milking was a favorite chore of mine.

That means that a group has formed to own a horse as a group.

I am not sure how it differs from a corporation or a partnership. AmericanMother can explain that if she has not moved on to other things by now.

Only horse I know who was involved with the mob was the one that wound up on the guy's bed . . . ugh.

A syndication is like a partnership, a group gets together and buys a stallion, shares in his upkeep and the (hopefully) profits. There are some wrinkles because anytime you're dealing with collateral that EATS . . . < g >

I would shoo the cows out after the AM milking, that was one of my jobs. There was always at least one Holstein that took a shot at me as we went down the lane from the barn, boy did I get tired of that! I started carrying a longe whip with me, made them a little more respectful.
