Meike Zwartjens prize money by season
In time order, not sorted

Frequently asked questions
How much prize money has Meike Zwartjens won?
£31,231 across 58 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 117 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.
Does Meike Zwartjens 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 Meike Zwartjens's biggest prize?
£8,350 for finishing 4th in the Grand Prix of Twente at CSI Twente, Geesteren in 2023.
Which horse has won Meike Zwartjens the most?
Twister De La Pomme, £21,345 across 15 paid rounds, which is 68.3% of everything Meike Zwartjens has won.
Does Meike Zwartjens 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.
