£7,865 won from 3 paid rounds across 2 horses between 2022 and 2023, ranked 466 of 6,392 owners show jumping has paid.
This is money received rather than money a rider took home. The sport awards a money prize to the owner or lessee of the horse, so the figure above is what was written to Mannon Farm and split afterwards under a private agreement.

The horses paid in Mannon Farm's name
Prize money won, by horse
| Horse | Studbook | Born | Paid rounds | Wins | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vital Chance de la Roque | SF | 2009 | 2 | 98.3% | £7,728 | |
| Fiona Flash Ps | OS | 2015 | 1 | 1.7% | £137 |
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.
Mannon Farm prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
2022 is the best of them, £7,728. 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 Mannon Farm
Prize money won, by rider
| Rider | Paid rounds | Wins | Share | Prize money |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conor Swail | 2 | 98.3% | £7,728 | |
| Paraic Kenny | 1 | 1.7% | £137 |
None of these figures is a rider's income. The money was written to Mannon Farm 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.
