Grand Slam VDL prize money
£26,207 won from 6 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2021 and 2025, ranked 129 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.

Grand Slam VDL prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2025 is the best of them, £12,154, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marlon Modolo Zanotelli | 6 | 2021 to 2025 | 100% | £26,207 |
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.
