Melody Matheson holds 76.8% of the New Zealand total alone. That is the ordinary shape of a prize-money sport rather than a quirk of this country: the money follows the horses that can jump the biggest classes, and a nation rarely has more than two or three of them at once.
What New Zealand wins each season
In time order, not sorted
2023 is the best season New Zealand has had, £857. A national total moves with which shows ran and which horses were sound, so a step in this chart is usually a calendar or an injury rather than a change in how good the country is.
The horses New Zealand riders are paid on

An owner is not always a person. A stable, a stud or a company can hold the horse, and where it does the prize money is paid to the business and the rider takes a share of it under a private agreement. Every owner the sport has paid is here.
