Niklaus Schurtenberger prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

3 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. C-Steffra alone accounts for 95.1% of everything Niklaus Schurtenberger has won.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Niklaus Schurtenberger won?

£16,333 across 7 paid rounds between 2022 and 2026, which ranks 201 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Niklaus Schurtenberger 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 Niklaus Schurtenberger's biggest prize?

£15,525 for finishing 3rd in the Coupe de Genève - Competition over combinations at CHI Geneva in 2022.

Which horse has won Niklaus Schurtenberger the most?

C-Steffra, £15,525 across 1 paid rounds, which is 95.1% of everything Niklaus Schurtenberger has won.

Does Niklaus Schurtenberger 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.
