Graham Gillespie 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. VENENO alone accounts for 76.3% of everything Graham Gillespie 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.

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 Graham Gillespie won?

£7,178 across 7 paid rounds between 2023 and 2025, which ranks 347 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Graham Gillespie 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 Graham Gillespie's biggest prize?

£2,410 for finishing 4th in the Wezenberg Groep Prijs - Big Tour at CSI Ommen in 2024.

Which horse has won Graham Gillespie the most?

VENENO, £5,478 across 5 paid rounds, which is 76.3% of everything Graham Gillespie has won.

Does Graham Gillespie 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.
