Denis Lynch prize money

£103,071 won from 36 paid rounds and 1 win between 2019 and 2026, ranked 37 of 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Prize money won rather than income. A money prize in this sport is awarded to the owner of the horse, so the figure above is what Denis Lynch's rounds were worth rather than what Denis Lynch was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.

Denis Lynch prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

7 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. Brooklyn Heights alone accounts for 60.3% of everything Denis Lynch 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 Denis Lynch won?

£103,071 across 36 paid rounds between 2019 and 2026, which ranks 37 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Denis Lynch 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 Denis Lynch's biggest prize?

£50,000 for finishing 5th in the Rolex Grand Prix 's-Hertogenbosch at The Dutch Masters, 's-Hertogenbosch in 2024.

Which horse has won Denis Lynch the most?

Brooklyn Heights, £62,142 across 9 paid rounds, which is 60.3% of everything Denis Lynch has won.

Does Denis Lynch 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.
