Florida Balia Nl prize money
£27,004 won from 8 paid rounds and 4 wins between 2021 and 2025, ranked 124 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.

Florida Balia Nl 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, £13,996, when the horse was 12. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mel Thijssen | 8 | 4 | 2021 to 2025 | 100% | £27,004 |
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.
