Just Blue prize money
£11,959 won from 11 paid rounds and 1 win between 2021 and 2025, ranked 297 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.

Just Blue 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, £10,418, when the horse was 9. 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.

Frequently asked questions

£11,959 across 11 paid rounds between 2021 and 2025, which ranks 297 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides Just Blue?

Who owns Just Blue?
Henk Grol, Van Geel-Schröder B.V. is the owner of record on most of Just Blue'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 Just Blue's biggest prize?
£8,547 for winning the Gemeente De Wolden Prijs at CH De Wolden, Zuidwolde in 2023.
How old is Just Blue?
Born in 2014, so it was 7 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 Just Blue 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.
