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 Mike Van Olst's biggest prize?

£603 for finishing 12th in the Redder Transport Prijs at CSI Ommen in 2025.

Which horse has won Mike Van Olst the most?

Comme Elle Faut Odth Z, £603 across 1 paid rounds, which is 28.4% of everything Mike Van Olst has won.

Does Mike Van Olst 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.
