Elwikke prize money
£64,487 won from 11 paid rounds and 6 wins between 2021 and 2026, ranked 51 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.

Elwikke prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2022 is the best of them, £36,795, when the horse was 10. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maikel van der Vleuten | 11 | 6 | 2021 to 2026 | 100% | £64,487 |
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.

Competition, placing and cheque

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.

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.

How old is Elwikke?

What is Elwikke 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.
