Kevin Merry prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

6 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. ERIC & ERNIE alone accounts for 66% of everything Kevin Merry 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. Kevin Merry has won 1 of these outright.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Kevin Merry won?

£1,034 across 15 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 941 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Kevin Merry 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 Kevin Merry's biggest prize?

£130 for winning the 24A-1: Osborne Refrigerators Double Harness Scurry at Horse of the Year Show in 2022.

Which horse has won Kevin Merry the most?

ERIC & ERNIE, £682 across 9 paid rounds, which is 66% of everything Kevin Merry has won.

Does Kevin Merry 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.
