Qstar prize money
£3,471 won from 22 paid rounds and 8 wins between 2021 and 2026, ranked 859 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.

Qstar 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, £1,353, when the horse was 19. 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 Qstar
Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marit Hoekstra | 20 | 6 | 2022 to 2026 | 84.6% | £2,937 |
| Hessel Hoekstra | 2 | 2 | 2021 | 15.4% | £534 |
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 Qstar 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. Qstar has won 8 of these outright.

| Owner of record | Paid rounds | Prize money |
|---|---|---|

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 Qstar won?
£3,471 across 22 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 859 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides Qstar?
2 riders have been paid on Qstar. Marit Hoekstra has won the most on it, £2,937 across 20 rounds, which is 84.6% of the horse's total.
Who owns Qstar?
A.L. Hoekstra is the owner of record on most of Qstar'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 Qstar's biggest prize?
£534 for winning the Ruitersport Veendam-prijs at Indoor Groningen in 2026.
How old is Qstar?
Born in 2007, so it was 14 when it was first paid at this level and 19 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 Qstar 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.
