Green Grass prize money
£8,080 won from 6 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2021 and 2023, ranked 438 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.

Green Grass 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, £4,730, when the horse was 11. 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.

2 riders, which is less ordinary than it sounds at the top of the sport. A horse changes rider when it is sold, when it is lent for a season, or when a young rider brings it on and a senior one takes it over for the big classes.

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 Green Grass won?
£8,080 across 6 paid rounds between 2021 and 2023, which ranks 438 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides Green Grass?
2 riders have been paid on Green Grass. Paul Barker has won the most on it, £4,730 across 3 rounds, which is 58.5% of the horse's total.
Who owns Green Grass?
Lynne Barker is the owner of record on every of Green Grass'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 Green Grass's biggest prize?
£2,100 for finishing 3rd in the Speed Horse of the Year at Horse of the Year Show in 2023.
How old is Green Grass?
Born in 2012, so it was 9 when it was first paid at this level and 11 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 Green Grass 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.
