I Am prize money
£22,523 won from 15 paid rounds and 3 wins between 2021 and 2026, ranked 144 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.

I Am prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2024 is the best of them, £10,393, 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.
Who has been paid on I Am
Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Megan Laseur | 10 | 2022 to 2026 | 94.4% | £21,264 | |
| Dennis Van den Brink | 4 | 3 | 2021 | 5.5% | £1,246 |
| Sammy-Jo Smit | 1 | 2021 | 0.1% | £13 |
3 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.
Every round I Am has been paid for
Competition, placing and cheque
Every figure is converted to sterling so the rounds can be added up: show jumping pays in the currency of wherever it is run, euros across most of the calendar, sterling at the British shows and Swiss francs at Geneva. I Am has won 3 of these outright.

| Teus Van den Brink | 14 | £22,510 |
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 I Am won?
£22,523 across 15 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 144 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides I Am?
3 riders have been paid on I Am. Megan Laseur has won the most on it, £21,264 across 10 rounds, which is 94.4% of the horse's total.
Who owns I Am?
Teus Van den Brink is the owner of record on every of I Am'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 I Am's biggest prize?
£4,821 for finishing 2nd in the Spruce Meadows Prize - Gold Tour at CH De Wolden, Zuidwolde in 2024.
How old is I Am?
Born in 2013, so it was 8 when it was first paid at this level and 13 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 I Am 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.
