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 James Billington won?

£10,000 across 7 paid rounds between 2021 and 2021, which ranks 286 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does James Billington 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 James Billington's biggest prize?

£5,427 for winning the Sodiak Horsetrucks Prize at CSI Exloo in 2021.

Which horse has won James Billington the most?

Goldenstar, £5,641 across 4 paid rounds, which is 56.4% of everything James Billington has won.

Does James Billington 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.
