Daria Samokhina holds 93.2% of the NI2 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 NI2 wins each season

In time order, not sorted

2 seasons

2025 is the best season NI2 has had, £491. 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 NI2 riders are paid on

A horse is credited on every result sheet, and the cheque follows its owner

3 horses

# Horse Paid rounds Wins Prize money
01 Pb Portofino 2 £470
02 Nadal 1 £21
03 Hitch D'Ellipse 1 £13

Who the cheques are written to

Owners of record behind NI2 results

3 owners

# Owner of record Paid rounds Prize money
01 Paul Bücheler 2 £470
02 Valeria Gineva 1 £21
03 Diana Kurochkina 1 £13

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.
