Colombo prize money
£1,736 won from 8 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2022 and 2025, ranked 1346 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.

Colombo prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2023 is the best of them, £1,317, when the horse was 15. 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 Colombo
Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark van den Top | 8 | 2022 to 2025 | 100% | £1,736 |
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 Colombo won?
£1,736 across 8 paid rounds between 2022 and 2025, which ranks 1346 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides Colombo?
Mark van den Top has ridden Colombo for every paid round of its career, 8 of them between 2022 and 2025.
Who owns Colombo?
Piet Hein Schouten is the owner of record on every of Colombo'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 Colombo's biggest prize?
£1,232 for finishing 6th in the RR Horsetrucks Prize at CSI Exloo in 2023.
How old is Colombo?
Born in 2008, so it was 14 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 Colombo 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.
