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. MILLFIELD COLETTE alone accounts for 67.2% of everything Donald Whitaker has won.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Donald Whitaker won?

£69,521 across 16 paid rounds between 2022 and 2026, which ranks 52 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Donald Whitaker 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 Donald Whitaker's biggest prize?

£46,651 for winning the THE AGRIA KING GEORGE V GOLD CUP (GRAND PRIX) at Hickstead in 2024.

Which horse has won Donald Whitaker the most?

MILLFIELD COLETTE, £46,685 across 2 paid rounds, which is 67.2% of everything Donald Whitaker has won.

Does Donald Whitaker 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.
