California prize money
£20,684 won from 2 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2019 and 2019, ranked 162 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.

Who has been paid on California
Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edwina Tops-Alexander | 2 | 2019 | 100% | £20,684 |
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.
Every round California has been paid for
Competition, placing and cheque
| Place | Competition | Show | Level | Rider | Prize money |

| 9 | Prix du Grand Palais 2019 | Saut Hermes, Paris | CSI5* | Edwina Tops-Alexander | £171 |
Every figure is converted to sterling so the rounds can be added up: show jumping pays in the currency of wherever it is run, euros across most of the calendar, sterling at the British shows and Swiss francs at Geneva.

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 California?
Edwina Tops-Alexander has ridden California for every paid round of its career, 2 of them between 2019 and 2019.
Who owns California?
Equizone Edwina Alexander is the owner of record on every of California'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 California's biggest prize?
£20,513 for finishing 5th in the Grand Prix Hermès at Saut Hermes, Paris in 2019.
How old is California?
Born in 2007, so it was 12 when it was first paid at this level and 12 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 California 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.
