Equine Investment & Management
M. French Management and Michael French participate in sponsorships, leases, ownership, and syndication of eventing and fox hunting horses for both competing and investing purposes. Horse Syndicate participation is a large part of M. French Management's involvement in the equine industry as a long time partner with Jonathan Holling and Holling Eventing.
M. French Management was also instrumental in developing the original template for Owner/Rider contracts now used as a standard template for many eventing professionals including the sport's largest names.
