Helsinki prize money
£9,325 won from 18 paid rounds and 3 wins between 2021 and 2023, ranked 382 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.

Helsinki 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, £7,184, 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.

4 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 Helsinki won?
£9,325 across 18 paid rounds between 2021 and 2023, which ranks 382 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides Helsinki?
4 riders have been paid on Helsinki. Hessel Hoekstra has won the most on it, £8,846 across 11 rounds, which is 94.9% of the horse's total.
Who owns Helsinki?
Stal Wiefferink is the owner of record on most of Helsinki'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 Helsinki's biggest prize?
£3,269 for finishing 3rd in the Geissler Installatiebedrijf Prize at CSI Ommen in 2022.
How old is Helsinki?
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 Helsinki 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.
