Ak´s Courage prize money
£2,031 won from 3 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2019 and 2022, ranked 1233 of 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
The money is the horse's because the sport says it is. A money prize in equestrian sport is awarded to the owner of the horse rather than to the rider, so a horse carries a career total here in the way a racehorse does, and the rider's share of it is a private agreement that is never published.

Ak´s Courage prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2019 is the best of them, £1,709, when the horse was 10. A season that falls away is usually a horse being rested or managed rather than a horse in decline, and the gap between two good years is the most ordinary thing on this chart.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bryan Balsiger | 3 | 2019 to 2022 | 100% | £2,031 |
One rider for the whole of it, which is the ordinary case: a top horse and its rider are a partnership built over years, and a change of rider usually means a sale.

More than one name here is not a dispute. The owner of record is whoever was registered with the horse on the day the class was jumped, so a sale, a new syndicate member or a change of stable name all show up as a second row.

Frequently asked questions

Who rides Ak´s Courage?

Who owns Ak´s Courage?
de Coulon Olivier is the owner of record on most of Ak´s Courage's paid results, which is who the prize money is written to. An owner of record can be a person, a syndicate or a stable, and where the rider's own name appears they own the horse and keep the whole cheque.
What is Ak´s Courage's biggest prize?
£1,709 for finishing 2nd in the Prix Radio Lac at CHI Geneva in 2019.
How old is Ak´s Courage?
Born in 2009, so it was 10 when it was first paid at this level and 13 at its most recent result. A show jumper rarely reaches a five-star Grand Prix before eight and is rarely still in one after sixteen.
What is Ak´s Courage worth?
Nothing on this page is a sale price. A Grand Prix horse changes hands privately and the figure is never published, and the winnings are usually a fraction of what the horse cost. What is here is what the animal was paid in the ring.
