Hickstead prize money
£1,815,449 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, £141,496.
