Sonja van der Berg 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. Kind Of Special alone accounts for 68.2% of everything Sonja van der Berg has won.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Sonja van der Berg won?

£416 across 9 paid rounds between 2022 and 2023, which ranks 1397 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Sonja van der Berg 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 Sonja van der Berg's biggest prize?

£128 for finishing 3rd in the Dusseldorp Prize at Outdoor Gelderland, Lichtenvoorde in 2022.

Which horse has won Sonja van der Berg the most?

Kind Of Special, £284 across 5 paid rounds, which is 68.2% of everything Sonja van der Berg has won.

Does Sonja van der Berg 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.
