Paul Kennedy prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

2 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. Cartown Danger Mouse alone accounts for 100% of everything Paul Kennedy has won.

This is the legal destination of the money rather than a sponsor list. Where the owner is a syndicate or a stable the cheque goes to the company; where the rider's own name appears, they owned the horse and kept the lot.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Paul Kennedy won?

£2,760 across 3 paid rounds between 2021 and 2022, which ranks 578 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Paul Kennedy 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 Paul Kennedy's biggest prize?

£2,000 for finishing 2nd in the NAEC Stoneleigh Stake at Horse of the Year Show in 2021.

Which horse has won Paul Kennedy the most?

Cartown Danger Mouse, £2,760 across 3 paid rounds, which is 100% of everything Paul Kennedy has won.

Does Paul Kennedy 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.
