Darragh Kenny prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

5 seasons

A show jumping career does not climb the way a contract does. It moves with whichever horse is sound and in form, so a season with a top horse out of work looks like a collapse and is not one. Balou du Reventon alone accounts for 43.4% of everything Darragh Kenny has won.

This is the legal destination of the money rather than a sponsor list. Where the owner is a syndicate or a stable the cheque goes to the company; where the rider's own name appears, they owned the horse and kept the lot.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Darragh Kenny won?

£393,578 across 15 paid rounds between 2018 and 2026, which ranks 13 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Darragh Kenny keep that money?

Not all of it, and often not most of it. A money prize in equestrian sport is awarded to the owner of the horse rather than to the rider, and the rider is paid a share of it under a private agreement, usually alongside a monthly fee for keeping the horse in work. A rider who owns the horse keeps the whole cheque.

What is Darragh Kenny's biggest prize?

£153,846 for finishing 3rd in the Rolex Grand Prix at CHI Geneva in 2018.

Which horse has won Darragh Kenny the most?

Balou du Reventon, £170,940 across 2 paid rounds, which is 43.4% of everything Darragh Kenny has won.

Does Darragh Kenny have a salary?

No. Show jumping pays no wage at any level: there is no contract with a federation, no appearance money at most shows and no retainer. The money on this page is the whole of what the sport paid, and it was paid one round at a time.
