Max Kühner prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

6 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. Elektric Blue P alone accounts for 89.7% of everything Max Kühner 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 Max Kühner won?

£365,143 across 31 paid rounds between 2019 and 2025, which ranks 14 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Max Kühner 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 Max Kühner's biggest prize?

£192,500 for winning the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping at The Dutch Masters, 's-Hertogenbosch in 2021.

Which horse has won Max Kühner the most?

Elektric Blue P, £327,602 across 5 paid rounds, which is 89.7% of everything Max Kühner has won.

Does Max Kühner 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.
