£4,562 won from 14 paid rounds and 2 wins between 2021 and 2026, ranked 450 of 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Lucy Townley prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

4 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. BILLY NIKON alone accounts for 39.5% of everything Lucy Townley 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. Lucy Townley has won 2 of these outright.

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 Lucy Townley won?

£4,562 across 14 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 450 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Lucy Townley 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 Lucy Townley's biggest prize?

£1,800 for winning the Equitop GLME Senior Foxhunter Championship at Horse of the Year Show in 2021.

Which horse has won Lucy Townley the most?

BILLY NIKON, £1,800 across 1 paid rounds, which is 39.5% of everything Lucy Townley has won.

Does Lucy Townley 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.
