James Starr 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. BEAUTIFUL BODIES THUNDER & LIGHTNING alone accounts for 32.9% of everything James Starr has won.

Does James Starr keep that money?

A rider who owns the horse keeps the whole cheque.

£140 for finishing 3rd in the Osborne Refrigerators Double Harness Scurry of the Year Championship at Horse of the Year Show in 2025.
Which horse has won James Starr the most?
BEAUTIFUL BODIES THUNDER & LIGHTNING, £558 across 7 paid rounds, which is 32.9% of everything James Starr has won.
Does James Starr 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.
