Edwin Smits prize money

£9,798 won from 6 paid rounds and 1 win between 2018 and 2022, ranked 289 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 Edwin Smits's rounds were worth rather than what Edwin Smits was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.

Edwin Smits prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

3 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. Lantaro von Hof alone accounts for 56.7% of everything Edwin Smits has won.

Every figure is converted to sterling so the rounds can be added up: show jumping pays in the currency of wherever it is run, which is euros at most of the calendar, sterling at the British shows and Swiss francs at Geneva. Edwin Smits has won 1 of these outright.

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 Edwin Smits won?

£9,798 across 6 paid rounds between 2018 and 2022, which ranks 289 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Edwin Smits 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 Edwin Smits's biggest prize?

£3,419 for finishing 4th in the Prix Starling Hotel Geneva at CHI Geneva in 2018.

Which horse has won Edwin Smits the most?

Lantaro von Hof, £5,556 across 2 paid rounds, which is 56.7% of everything Edwin Smits has won.

Does Edwin Smits 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.
