£151,789 won from 58 paid rounds and 10 wins between 2021 and 2026, ranked 30 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 Shane Breen's rounds were worth rather than what Shane Breen was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.
Shane Breen 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. CAN YA MAKAN alone accounts for 23.5% of everything Shane Breen has won.

Every round Shane Breen has been paid for
Competition, placing and cheque
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. Shane Breen has won 10 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 Shane Breen won?
£151,789 across 58 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 30 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.
Does Shane Breen 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 Shane Breen's biggest prize?
£34,650 for winning the The Al Shira'aa Derby at Hickstead in 2022.
Which horse has won Shane Breen the most?
CAN YA MAKAN, £35,730 across 2 paid rounds, which is 23.5% of everything Shane Breen has won.
Does Shane Breen 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.
