Ari­on Par­tic­i­pat­ing Bonds are financ­ing a show-jump­ing-horse devel­op­ment port­fo­lio, man­aged by Vision2024, an eques­tri­an devel­op­ment spe­cial­ist. Ari­on will finance the acqui­si­tion of a 75% stake in 20 top sport-hors­es to cre­ate a diver­si­fied port­fo­lio and fund the train­ing and devel­op­ment of the hors­es over four years. The eques­tri­an port­fo­lio is expect­ed to gen­er­ate 35% — 80% ROI.

Ari­on Dig­i­tal Bonds are prof­it-par­tic­i­pat­ing bonds with 48-month matu­ri­ty, and semi-annu­al dis­tri­b­u­tions com­menc­ing one year after clos­ing of the offer­ing, con­tin­u­ing for the fol­low­ing three years.

The founders of Vision2024 have a long his­to­ry of suc­cess­ful­ly devel­op­ing show-jump­ing hors­es to the high­est sports cat­e­go­ry. Vision2024 itself, start­ed in 2018, already achieved returns on its ini­tial port­fo­lio, which the com­pa­ny ful­ly fund­ed, thanks to the suc­cess­ful devel­op­ment and sale of sev­er­al hors­es the com­pa­ny acquired.

Vision2024 will now scale its devel­op­ment pro­gram and give for the first time access to this unique invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ty, which is usu­al­ly acces­si­ble only to insiders.

An Olympic sport, the world of show jump­ing is cen­tred around exclu­sive eques­tri­an com­pe­ti­tions that attract high-pro­file entre­pre­neurs, celebri­ties, and the wealthy. Invest­ment into top sport-hors­es and prof­its from those invest­ments is usu­al­ly only avail­able to insid­ers, and Ari­on rep­re­sents a unique oppor­tu­ni­ty for exter­nal investors.

The Ari­on Eques­tri­an Port­fo­lio will be cre­at­ed by the acqui­si­tion of 15 sport hors­es with high poten­tial and the con­tri­bu­tion of 5 hors­es from the exist­ing Vision2024 port­fo­lio, which has already gen­er­at­ed suc­cess­ful sales and return on invest­ment from its incep­tion in 2018.

Investors in Ari­on Dig­i­tal Bonds will be par­tic­i­pat­ing with 75% own­er­ship of 20 sport show-jump­ing hors­es in the Ari­on Eques­tri­an Port­fo­lio. This is an ide­al for pri­vate investors, fam­i­ly offices, and funds who

✓ invest in non-tra­di­tion­al assets,

✓ have an affin­i­ty for eques­tri­an sport, or

✓ are seek­ing the low­er trans­ac­tion­al cost and increased liq­uid­i­ty of dig­i­tized assets.

Vision2024’s strat­e­gy of invest­ment into qual­i­ty hors­es is to achieve above-aver­age results by invest­ing on a larg­er scale and using a pro­fes­sion­al devel­op­ment pro­gram. The keys for suc­cess are scale, well-pre­pared scout­ing and a selec­tion pro­gram, ensur­ing max­i­mum val­ue appre­ci­a­tion because of the right cat­e­go­riza­tion and treat­ment of the hors­es. The devel­op­ment pro­gram itself includes match­ing hors­es with suit­able rid­ers along with their sports progress.

Selec­tion — the process of horse scout­ing — is part art and part sci­ence. Lieven van DeCraen (Vision2024) and his team of experts use a com­bi­na­tion of rig­or­ous health checks, analy­sis of the cur­rent per­for­mance of hors­es (as the hors­es being acquired will have already been on the cir­cuit for a few years), and their decades of expe­ri­ence to sin­gle out for pur­chase those younger hors­es which show the most poten­tial to ben­e­fit from a rig­or­ous and nur­tur­ing devel­op­ment program.

The mar­ket for top sport hors­es cov­ers more than twen­ty sub-leagues on all con­ti­nents under the FEI Longines rank­ing umbrel­la. More than 3.200 rid­ers are clas­si­fied in rank­ing tiers. The price of a top sport horse starts in the hun­dreds of thou­sands and extends into the mil­lions of Euro, each.

The key ele­ment is, unsur­pris­ing­ly, the horse — and top qual­i­ty hors­es make the dif­fer­ence. There is a steadi­ly grow­ing demand for qual­i­ty hors­es in the glob­al mar­ket, but there isn’t a steady supply.

The demand and price of sport hors­es increas­es every year.

The aver­age sale price of 3–4 year old hors­es is less than 1/10th the aver­age price of hors­es in the 5–7 year range. This makes sense in the con­text of show jump­ing, as a sport, because hors­es reach their peak per­for­mance at around 9–12 years old.

Atoucha Hero Z was acquired by Vision2024 as 5‑year-old mare into the horse devel­op­ment port­fo­lio in Feb­ru­ary 2018 and became one of the most win­ning young hors­es in recent years. The horse was suc­cess­ful­ly sold to the Amer­i­can rid­er Paris Ann Sel­l­on in Novem­ber 2020. Through con­sis­tent, inten­sive train­ing and pro­fes­sion­al guid­ance, Attoucha Hero Z, a daugh­ter of top sire Aganix du Seigneur Z, climbed to the pin­na­cle. Under the sad­dle of Melanie Gelin, she jumped to no few­er than 18 inter­na­tion­al vic­to­ries in the last few years.

Although the exact sale price can­not be dis­closed, Vision2024’s gain on this horse devel­op­ment exceed­ed 300%+ over three years, incor­po­rat­ing the orig­i­nal pur­chase price and the asso­ci­at­ed devel­op­ment costs.

Vision2024 was found­ed by group of expe­ri­enced entre­pre­neurs, investors and pro­fes­sion­als in the eques­tri­an busi­ness, with 20+ years of expe­ri­ence in the field and a proven and suc­cess­ful track record in the indus­try. Vision2024 was found­ed in 2018 with the objec­tive of cre­at­ing a scal­able mod­el of scout­ing and devel­op­ing sport show-jump­ing hors­es. The com­pa­ny is util­is­ing its wide net­work and close rela­tion­ships with breed­ers, rid­ers and traders to con­tin­ue to build on its ini­tial success.
