Padraig McCarthy prize money
£8,120 won from 2 paid rounds and 1 win between 2018 and 2019, ranked 321 of 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.
Prize money won rather than income. A money prize in this sport is awarded to the owner of the horse, so the figure above is what Padraig McCarthy's rounds were worth rather than what Padraig McCarthy was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.
Padraig McCarthy prize money by season
In time order, not sorted
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. Rosemaber Lancuest alone accounts for 100% of everything Padraig McCarthy has won.

A rider who owns the horse keeps the whole cheque.

Does Padraig McCarthy 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.
