Q Verdi prize money
£3,171 won from 8 paid rounds and 3 wins between 2022 and 2026, ranked 916 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.

Q Verdi 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, £1,538, when the horse was 13. 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.

Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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.

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 Q Verdi won?
£3,171 across 8 paid rounds between 2022 and 2026, which ranks 916 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides Q Verdi?
3 riders have been paid on Q Verdi. Rowen Van de Mheen has won the most on it, £1,538 across 1 rounds, which is 48.5% of the horse's total.
Who owns Q Verdi?
W. V.D. Mheen is the owner of record on most of Q Verdi'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 Q Verdi's biggest prize?
£1,538 for finishing 2nd in the Gemeente de Wolden Prize at CH De Wolden, Zuidwolde in 2022.
How old is Q Verdi?
Born in 2009, so it was 13 when it was first paid at this level and 17 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 Q Verdi 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.
