Shane O'Meara 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. KENNY'S FLIGHT alone accounts for 97% of everything Shane O'Meara 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.

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 O'Meara won?

£2,659 across 3 paid rounds between 2024 and 2026, which ranks 588 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Shane O'Meara 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 O'Meara's biggest prize?

£2,410 for finishing 4th in the The British Speed Derby at Hickstead in 2024.

Which horse has won Shane O'Meara the most?

KENNY'S FLIGHT, £2,579 across 2 paid rounds, which is 97% of everything Shane O'Meara has won.

Does Shane O'Meara 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.
