Mark van den Top 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. Colombo alone accounts for 100% of everything Mark van den Top 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 Mark van den Top won?

£1,692 across 8 paid rounds between 2022 and 2025, which ranks 736 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Mark van den Top 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 Mark van den Top's biggest prize?

£1,201 for finishing 6th in the RR Horsetrucks Prize at CSI Exloo in 2023.

Which horse has won Mark van den Top the most?

Colombo, £1,692 across 8 paid rounds, which is 100% of everything Mark van den Top has won.

Does Mark van den Top 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.
