Simon Delestre prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

7 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. Cayman Jolly Jumper alone accounts for 75.6% of everything Simon Delestre 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 Simon Delestre won?

£632,686 across 22 paid rounds between 2018 and 2026, which ranks 6 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Simon Delestre 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 Simon Delestre's biggest prize?

£282,051 for winning the Rolex Grand Prix 's-Hertogenbosch - Part of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping at The Dutch Masters, 's-Hertogenbosch in 2025.

Which horse has won Simon Delestre the most?

Cayman Jolly Jumper, £478,255 across 7 paid rounds, which is 75.6% of everything Simon Delestre has won.

Does Simon Delestre 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.
