ROYALE TALE prize money
£19,298 won from 12 paid rounds and 5 wins between 2022 and 2025, ranked 172 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.

ROYALE TALE prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2025 is the best of them, £8,947, when the horse was 10. 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 ROYALE TALE
Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark Edwards | 12 | 5 | 2022 to 2025 | 100% | £19,298 |
One rider for the whole of it, which is the ordinary case: a top horse and its rider are a partnership built over years, and a change of rider usually means a sale.
Every round ROYALE TALE 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. ROYALE TALE has won 5 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 ROYALE TALE won?
£19,298 across 12 paid rounds between 2022 and 2025, which ranks 172 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides ROYALE TALE?
Mark Edwards has ridden ROYALE TALE for every paid round of its career, 12 of them between 2022 and 2025.
Who owns ROYALE TALE?
Martyn Edwards is the owner of record on most of ROYALE TALE'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 ROYALE TALE's biggest prize?
£7,954 for winning the The Brilliance Horse Auction Speed Derby for the Liz Dudden Trophy at Hickstead in 2025.
How old is ROYALE TALE?
Born in 2015, so it was 7 when it was first paid at this level and 10 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 ROYALE TALE 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.
