HH Azur prize money
£650,051 won from 2 paid rounds and 2 wins between 2022 and 2023, ranked 2 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.

HH Azur 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, £368,000, when the horse was 16. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| McLain Ward | 2 | 2 | 2022 to 2023 | 100% | £650,051 |
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.

The owners of record on HH Azur's results
| Owner of record | Paid rounds | Prize money |
|---|---|---|
| Double H Farm, Mclain Ward | 2 | £650,051 |
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 HH Azur?
Double H Farm, Mclain Ward is the owner of record on every of HH Azur'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 HH Azur's biggest prize?

How old is HH Azur?

What is HH Azur 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.
