Hansel Chen prize money

£15,530 won from 6 paid rounds across 1 horse between 2026 and 2026, ranked 240 of 6,392 owners show jumping has paid.

This is money received rather than money a rider took home. The sport awards a money prize to the owner or lessee of the horse, so the figure above is what was written to Hansel Chen and split afterwards under a private agreement.

Prize money is not what an owner's balance sheet runs on, and a string this size makes the point: the entry fees, the transport, the stabling and the rider's monthly fee all come out before any of this does. The return on a show jumper is what it sells for, and the winnings are the advertisement.

Rider Paid rounds Wins Share Prize money
Bas Van der Aa 3 3 83.5% £12,970
Hansel Chen 3 16.5% £2,560

None of these figures is a rider's income. The money was written to Hansel Chen and the rider's share of it is a private agreement, usually a percentage on top of a monthly fee for keeping the horse in work.

Why does the owner get the money and not the rider?

Because the sport writes it that way. A money prize in equestrian sport is awarded to the owner or lessee of the horse, and the athlete is paid out of it under a private agreement rather than by the show. The reasoning is that the horse is the entrant and the expense: the entry fee, the transport, the stabling and the groom are all the owner’s bill, and the prize money is the return on it.
