Nelson King 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. OMEGA EQUINE DARKHORSE FRED & BARNEY alone accounts for 46% of everything Nelson King has won.

Every figure is converted to sterling so the rounds can be added up: show jumping pays in the currency of wherever it is run, which is euros at most of the calendar, sterling at the British shows and Swiss francs at Geneva. Nelson King has won 2 of these outright.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Nelson King won?

£971 across 14 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 985 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Nelson King 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 Nelson King's biggest prize?

£230 for winning the Osborne Refrigerators Double Harness Scurry of the Year Championship at Horse of the Year Show in 2023.

Which horse has won Nelson King the most?

OMEGA EQUINE DARKHORSE FRED & BARNEY, £447 across 5 paid rounds, which is 46% of everything Nelson King has won.

Does Nelson King 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.
