Cheldon prize money
£11,496 won from 4 paid rounds and 2 wins between 2021 and 2026, ranked 307 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.

Cheldon prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2026 is the best of them, £7,692, when the horse was 17. 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.
Who has been paid on Cheldon

| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Douglas Lindelöw | 4 | 2 | 2021 to 2026 | 100% | £11,496 |
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
How much has Cheldon won?
£11,496 across 4 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 307 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides Cheldon?
Douglas Lindelöw has ridden Cheldon for every paid round of its career, 4 of them between 2021 and 2026.
Who owns Cheldon?
Sunset Stables Ab is the owner of record on most of Cheldon'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 Cheldon's biggest prize?
£6,410 for winning the ROELOFSEN HORSE TRUCKS PRIJS - Medium Tour Final (LR) at Outdoor Gelderland, Lichtenvoorde in 2026.
How old is Cheldon?
Born in 2009, so it was 12 when it was first paid at this level and 17 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 Cheldon 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.
