# Ownership

The tile lists each **Contact** that holds a share of the horse, the **Percentage** they own, and the **Since** date of ownership.

## Reading the Ownership
- **Contact**: name of the owner, or “Unknown contact” if the contact is not in your contacts list.
- **Percentage**: share of ownership, shown as a whole number followed by % .
- **Since**: date the owner began owning the horse; a dash means no date is set.
- **⋮** button: opens a menu with **Edit** and **Remove** for that owner.
- If no owners are defined, a gray italic message says “There are currently no horse owners.”

## Add a new owner
1. Click the **Add** button at the top‑right of the tile.
2. In the **Add horse owner** form, select a **Contact**, enter the **Percentage**, and set the **Owner since** date.
3. Press **Save**.

## Edit an existing owner
1. Click the **⋮** button for the owner you want to change.
2. Choose **Edit**.
3. Update the fields in the **Edit horse owner** form and click **Save**.

## Remove an owner
1. Click the **⋮** button for the owner.
2. Choose **Remove**.
3. Confirm the deletion by clicking **Delete** in the confirmation dialog.

## Good to know
- The tile is only shown if you have permission to view horse owners.
- Percentages are displayed with a % sign and rounded to whole numbers.
- Owners are loaded from your organisation when you open the horse’s details.
