The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) announced today that it will offer awards and classes at more than 1,000 shows in 42 states and six Canadian provinces in 2017.
“The number of shows has grown every year since T.I.P.'s inception,” said Kristin Werner Leshney, The Jockey Club senior counsel and T.I.P. coordinator. “It's a testament to how popular the Thoroughbred is as a sport horse and how many opportunities are offered to them when their careers in racing and breeding have ended.”
Awards are available for multiple disciplines, including eventing, dressage, Western and English pleasure, hunter/jumper, Western performance, games, polo, and polocrosse. Awards are also available at some events for Thoroughbreds within their first two years of showing or for Thoroughbreds within two years of their last start.
T.I.P. also has two new offerings in 2017: the Thoroughbred Recreational Riding Incentive Program (TRRIP) and championships for certain divisions. The TRRIP is designed for Thoroughbred owners who spend most of their time outside of the show ring, whether on trails (including competitive trail rides), endurance rides, or even driving.
