Leon Thijssen prize money
£26,334 won from 52 paid rounds and 1 win between 2021 and 2026, ranked 133 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 Leon Thijssen's rounds were worth rather than what Leon Thijssen was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.
Leon Thijssen 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. For President alone accounts for 24.5% of everything Leon Thijssen has won.

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 Leon Thijssen won?
£26,334 across 52 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 133 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.
Does Leon Thijssen 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 Leon Thijssen's biggest prize?
£5,128 for finishing 4th in the Grote Prijs van de Provincie Gelderland at Outdoor Gelderland, Lichtenvoorde in 2022.
Which horse has won Leon Thijssen the most?
For President, £6,439 across 5 paid rounds, which is 24.5% of everything Leon Thijssen has won.
Does Leon Thijssen 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.
