The horses paid in Michael Potter's name
Prize money won, by horse
| Horse | Studbook | Born | Paid rounds | Wins | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Haya Loma N | KWPN | 2012 | 1 | 63.6% | £1,750 | |

| Juanita | 2014 | 1 | 1.4% | £38 |
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.
Michael Potter prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
2021 is the best of them, £1,750. An owner's season moves with whichever horse is sound, and a year that falls away is usually one good horse out of work rather than a smaller string.
Who rode for Michael Potter
Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jack Whitaker | 1 | 63.6% | £1,750 | |
| Zoe Potter | 1 | 35% | £964 | |
| Paulena Johnson | 1 | 1.4% | £38 |
None of these figures is a rider's income. The money was written to Michael Potter 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.
