Sebastian Hughes 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. COLORADO VOLO alone accounts for 100% of everything Sebastian Hughes 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 Sebastian Hughes won?

£7,388 across 5 paid rounds between 2023 and 2025, which ranks 339 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Sebastian Hughes 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 Sebastian Hughes's biggest prize?

£3,100 for winning the International Showjumping - Thistledown Investments Six Bar at Horse of the Year Show in 2024.

Which horse has won Sebastian Hughes the most?

COLORADO VOLO, £7,388 across 5 paid rounds, which is 100% of everything Sebastian Hughes has won.

Does Sebastian Hughes 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.
