Julien Epaillard's 10-year-old gelding, Donatello d'Auge, is undoubtedly the highest-earning show jumper of the year. So far, Donatello has collected 947,318 euros in prize money. He achieved this with 8 podium finishes, including six victories. At the 1.60m level, the gelding made it into the top five 28% of the time, and at the 1.55m level, 50% of the time.

Marcus Ehning impressed this month with his horse, Stargold. The 12-year-old stallion has already earned 836,375 euros in prize money this year. Ehning's stallion achieved this with 6 podium finishes. At the highest level, 1.60m height, the stallion had 12 completions, of which 78% resulted in a top-five position! This currently makes Stargold a better performer than Epaillard's Donatello d'Auge.

The Belgian-bred horse, King Edward, earned rider Henrik von Eckermann a total of 748,576 euros in prize money. The 13-year-old gelding reached the podium 9 times and managed to place in the top 5 in 73% of his participations at the highest level.

Just outside the top three, Harrie Smolders' Monaco N.O.P. shows his strong form. The 14-year-old gelding has already earned 667,639 euros in 2023, resulting from 7 podium finishes. Slightly over half of his participations at the 1.60m level resulted in a top-five position!
