£23,717 won from 24 paid rounds and 4 wins between 2021 and 2024, ranked 141 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 Robert Murphy's rounds were worth rather than what Robert Murphy was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.

Robert Murphy prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

4 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. HULDE G alone accounts for 37.1% of everything Robert Murphy 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. Robert Murphy has won 4 of these outright.

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 Robert Murphy won?

£23,717 across 24 paid rounds between 2021 and 2024, which ranks 141 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Robert Murphy 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 Robert Murphy's biggest prize?

£3,359 for finishing 3rd in the Grand Prix Sales Prize at CSI Twente, Geesteren in 2023.

Which horse has won Robert Murphy the most?

HULDE G, £8,806 across 4 paid rounds, which is 37.1% of everything Robert Murphy has won.

Does Robert Murphy 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.
