Step 1
Set aside enough money to buy a harness race horse. You most likely won't purchase a horse for under $10,000 and often much more than that. You also need to stable the horse, groom it and feed it. Owning a horse can be an expensive venture.
-
Step 2
Find a good trainer and consult with that trainer when buying your first horse, especially if you buy a yearling. Selecting a potential winner from a group of horses who are young and have not raced much takes the experience and ability of a long-time trainer.
-
Step 3
Arrange a private sale with an owner. You might assemble a few other interested parties and form a partnership.
-
Step 4
Attend an auction. Be the highest bidder on a harness race horse of your selection and win that horse. On Gait is a great website to check for auctions and also conducts online auctions.
-
Step 5
Go to a claiming race. Enter a claim for the race horse of your choice prior to the race. If your claim for that particular horse is drawn after the race, you win that horse.
