El Divo prize money
£2,412 won from 11 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2022 and 2024, ranked 1088 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.

El Divo 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, £1,265, when the horse was 14. 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.

| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lars Kuster | 11 | 2022 to 2024 | 100% | £2,412 |
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 El Divo won?
£2,412 across 11 paid rounds between 2022 and 2024, which ranks 1088 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides El Divo?
Lars Kuster has ridden El Divo for every paid round of its career, 11 of them between 2022 and 2024.
Who owns El Divo?
De Havikerwaard is the owner of record on most of El Divo'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 El Divo's biggest prize?
£684 for finishing 2nd in the René Viscaal in Memoriam Prijs at Outdoor Gelderland, Lichtenvoorde in 2023.
How old is El Divo?
Born in 2009, so it was 13 when it was first paid at this level and 15 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 El Divo 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.
