Viggo prize money
£2,061 won from 6 paid rounds and 0 wins between 2021 and 2024, ranked 1216 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.

Viggo prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
A horse's career is a window rather than a climb. 2024 is the best of them, £1,333, 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 Viggo
Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Span | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gert Jan Bruggink | 6 | 2021 to 2024 | 100% | £2,061 |
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.

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 Viggo won?
£2,061 across 6 paid rounds between 2021 and 2024, which ranks 1216 of the 8,505 horses show jumping has paid.
Who rides Viggo?
Gert Jan Bruggink has ridden Viggo for every paid round of its career, 6 of them between 2021 and 2024.
Who owns Viggo?
Stal Het Oosterbrook is the owner of record on most of Viggo'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 Viggo's biggest prize?
£672 for finishing 9th in the Roelofsen Horsetrucks Prijs at Outdoor Gelderland, Lichtenvoorde in 2023.
How old is Viggo?
Born in 2014, 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 Viggo 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.
