Gotcha prize money
£2,607 won from 3 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2024 and 2024, ranked 1029 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.

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.

Who owns Gotcha?
Rock Ridge Farms is the owner of record on every of Gotcha'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 Gotcha's biggest prize?
£2,051 for finishing 7th in the Rabobank Grote Prijs van Outdoor Gelderland at Outdoor Gelderland, Lichtenvoorde in 2024.
How old is Gotcha?

What is Gotcha 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.
