EquiStat Professional Riders Statistics

The EquiStat Professional Rider Statistics rank both the top Open riders and the top up-and-coming Open riders in the Western performance industry.

The Open riders lists are ranked by earnings in the past 10 years. Up-and-coming riders, who are riders who have not won a specified amount of money prior to Jan. 1, 2017, are ranked by their earnings in the last five years.

This article includes the top 15 Open riders and up & coming Open riders based on their earnings in cutting, reining, working cow horse and Western performance horse competition during the dates below as tabulated by the statistical record-keeping service, EquiStat.

The full EquiStat Professional Riders Statistics were emailed to QHN Insider Stats subscribers on Thursday, June 23. The previous edition of QHN Insider Stats featured the EquiStat Junior Sire Statistics and the EquiStat Freshman Sire Statistics.

Unless otherwise indicated, earnings from closed incentives not open to all participants are excluded, and money won by clones or offspring of clones may be attributed to the clone’s donor. The contents and statistics in this chart are copyrighted 2022 by Quarter Horse News.
