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 Lutz Gripshöver's rounds were worth rather than what Lutz Gripshöver was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.
Lutz Gripshöver prize money by season
In time order, not sorted

Frequently asked questions
How much prize money has Lutz Gripshöver won?

Does Lutz Gripshöver keep that money?
Not all of it, and often not most of it.

A rider who owns the horse keeps the whole cheque.

L.A. Lovely Boy, £189 across 4 paid rounds, which is 56.4% of everything Lutz Gripshöver has won.

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.
