Daniel prize money
£26,605 won from 9 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2021 and 2025, ranked 127 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.

Daniel prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2024 is the best of them, £9,709, when the horse was 16. 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 Daniel
Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Angelie Von Essen | 8 | 2021 to 2025 | 89.4% | £23,778 | |
| Matthew Sampson | 1 | 2025 | 10.6% | £2,827 |
2 riders, which is less ordinary than it sounds at the top of the sport. A horse changes rider when it is sold, when it is lent for a season, or when a young rider brings it on and a senior one takes it over for the big classes.

Frequently asked questions

2 riders have been paid on Daniel. Angelie Von Essen has won the most on it, £23,778 across 8 rounds, which is 89.4% of the horse's total.
Who owns Daniel?
James Davenport is the owner of record on every of Daniel'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 Daniel's biggest prize?
£9,709 for finishing 2nd in the International Showjumping - Leading Showjumper of the Year - Grand Prix at Horse of the Year Show in 2024.
How old is Daniel?
Born in 2008, so it was 13 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 Daniel 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.
