Zeppe Blue prize money
£4,979 won from 4 paid rounds and 1 win between 2021 and 2022, ranked 663 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.

Zeppe Blue 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, £3,910, when the horse was 11. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leon Thijssen | 4 | 1 | 2021 to 2022 | 100% | £4,979 |
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.

Who rides Zeppe Blue?

Who owns Zeppe Blue?
Stal Thijssen is the owner of record on every of Zeppe Blue'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.

£3,269 for finishing 3rd in the Morssinkhof Rymoplast Prijs at Outdoor Gelderland, Lichtenvoorde in 2022.
How old is Zeppe Blue?
Born in 2011, so it was 10 when it was first paid at this level and 11 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 Zeppe Blue 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.
