William Whitaker 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. FLAMBOYANT III alone accounts for 66.9% of everything William Whitaker has won.

Competition, placing and cheque

Frequently asked questions
How much prize money has William Whitaker won?
£126,967 across 44 paid rounds between 2021 and 2026, which ranks 33 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.
Does William Whitaker 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 William Whitaker's biggest prize?
£30,769 for winning the The Al Shira'aa Derby at Hickstead in 2026.
Which horse has won William Whitaker the most?
FLAMBOYANT III, £84,939 across 12 paid rounds, which is 66.9% of everything William Whitaker has won.
Does William Whitaker 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.
