Stargos VDL prize money
£10,394 won from 18 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2022 and 2026, ranked 338 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.

Stargos VDL 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, £9,183. 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.
