Mereusa prize money
£3,292 won from 11 paid rounds and 1 win between 2023 and 2026, ranked 899 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.

Mereusa prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2026 is the best of them, £2,021, 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.
Every round Mereusa 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. Mereusa has won 1 of these outright.

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 Mereusa won?
£3,292 across 11 paid rounds between 2023 and 2026, which ranks 899 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides Mereusa?
2 riders have been paid on Mereusa. Marc Houtzager has won the most on it, £3,112 across 9 rounds, which is 94.5% of the horse's total.
Who owns Mereusa?
Stal Houtzager-Kayser is the owner of record on most of Mereusa'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 Mereusa's biggest prize?
£1,026 for finishing 10th in the Handelshuis Schuttert Grote Prijs at CSI Ommen in 2026.
How old is Mereusa?
Born in 2017, so it was 6 when it was first paid at this level and 9 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 Mereusa 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.
