Hickstead prize money

£1,782,109 paid out across 120 classes and 1,265 placings between 2022 and 2026.

A show is a calendar rather than a single prize fund: every class carries a pot of its own, and the money is split down the placings rather than paid to the winner. The THE AGRIA KING GEORGE V GOLD CUP (GRAND PRIX) is the largest of them here, £137,958.
