New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program is putting the finishing touches on preparations for its Third Annual All-Thoroughbred Charity Horse Show Friday, Sept. 8 and Saturday, Sept. 9 at Kentucky Horse Park, it was announced Thursday. In addition to the two-day format, qualified exhibitors will be welcomed to the inaugural edition of The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) Championships, to be held Sunday, Sept. 10.
Riders in the inaugural T.I.P. Championships will compete for $12,000 in hunter, jumper and pleasure divisions. Riders across the United States competed in more than 500 horse shows for a chance to come to Kentucky for this event. Designed to promote the retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon their completion of careers in racing or breeding, T.I.P. has been a resounding success since its launch in 2012.
“New Vocations looks forward to welcoming Thoroughbreds from across the nation to the largest all Thoroughbred hunter/jumper show ever to take place at the Kentucky Horse Park,” says Director of Education and Development Sarah Coleman. “We can't wait to show the world just how much these
horses can accomplish once they retire from the track.”
