David Simpson prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

6 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. PJOTR VAN DE KRUISHOEVE alone accounts for 74.6% of everything David Simpson 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 David Simpson won?

£87,090 across 37 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 46 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does David Simpson 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 David Simpson's biggest prize?

£34,650 for winning the The Al Shira'aa Derby at Hickstead in 2023.

Which horse has won David Simpson the most?

PJOTR VAN DE KRUISHOEVE, £65,010 across 6 paid rounds, which is 74.6% of everything David Simpson has won.

Does David Simpson 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.
