Matthew Sampson prize money by season
In time order, not sorted

Does Matthew Sampson 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 Matthew Sampson's biggest prize?
£5,513 for finishing 7th in the THE AL SHIRA'AA KING GEORGE V GOLD CUP (GRAND PRIX) at Hickstead in 2026.
Which horse has won Matthew Sampson the most?
UN SECRETO Z, £8,580 across 3 paid rounds, which is 30.9% of everything Matthew Sampson has won.
Does Matthew Sampson 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.
