The six outstanding equine athletes assembled for the current offering Houyhnhnm Stables LLC 2004 have been carefully selected with the same unsurpassed technologies and proprietary equine evaluation methods EQB utilized to shortlist at auction five of the last nine Kentucky Derby winners. And now these formidable thoroughbreds are primed and ready to race.

EQB's industry-shaking strides in research, technology, and competitive strategy allow Houyhnhnm Stables to identify undervalued contenders, secure top talent for less, and ultimately yield more breakout champions while placing fewer horses into training.

Membership participation in Houyhnhnm Stables LLC 2004, our debut offering, begins at $50,000 and the group can include no more than 15 members. EQB, through founder and CEO Jeffrey Seder and Vice President Patti Miller, will serve as the organizing member of Houyhnhnm Stables LLC 2004, which has been filed as a separate legal entity in Kentucky to protect members from potential liability. As the organizing member, EQB will be recommending that the LLC purchase the six exceptional thoroughbreds featured below.
