Louise Saywell prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

2 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. Golden Wave OL alone accounts for 79.4% of everything Louise Saywell has won.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Louise Saywell won?

£7,344 across 5 paid rounds between 2019 and 2022, which ranks 341 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Louise Saywell 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 Louise Saywell's biggest prize?

£5,299 for finishing 4th in the Prix GL events at Saut Hermes, Paris in 2019.

Which horse has won Louise Saywell the most?

Golden Wave OL, £5,833 across 2 paid rounds, which is 79.4% of everything Louise Saywell has won.

Does Louise Saywell 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.
