Guy Williams prize money
£65,220 won from 40 paid rounds and 6 wins between 2021 and 2026, ranked 59 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 Guy Williams's rounds were worth rather than what Guy Williams was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.
Guy Williams prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
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. Rouge de Ravel alone accounts for 27% of everything Guy Williams has won.

Every round Guy Williams has been paid for
Competition, placing and cheque
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. Guy Williams has won 6 of these outright.

Does Guy Williams 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.

£7,920 for winning the The Clip My Horse.TV Hickstead Master's Trophy at Hickstead in 2022.
Which horse has won Guy Williams the most?
Rouge de Ravel, £17,594 across 4 paid rounds, which is 27% of everything Guy Williams has won.
Does Guy Williams 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.
