Steve Guerdat prize money

£690,841 won from 31 paid rounds and 6 wins between 2018 and 2026, ranked 5 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 Steve Guerdat's rounds were worth rather than what Steve Guerdat was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.

Steve Guerdat 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. Albfuehren´s Bianca alone accounts for 38.1% of everything Steve Guerdat 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 Steve Guerdat won?

£690,841 across 31 paid rounds between 2018 and 2026, which ranks 5 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Steve Guerdat 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 Steve Guerdat's biggest prize?

£200,000 for finishing 2nd in the Rolex Grand Prix at CHI Geneva in 2018.

Which horse has won Steve Guerdat the most?

Albfuehren´s Bianca, £263,333 across 2 paid rounds, which is 38.1% of everything Steve Guerdat has won.

Does Steve Guerdat 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.
