The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) reminds relevant parties that horse show applications are due September 30 and Youth Ambassador Program applications are due October 1.
Horse shows, horse trials, and other events interested in offering T.I.P. awards in 2022 must apply during the application period even if the information or show dates are tentative. Shows that offered awards in 2021 still need to re-apply for 2022 dates. More information and the online application are available here.
Introduced in 2016, the T.I.P. Youth Ambassador Program selects about a dozen youth ambassadors on an annual basis to positively represent T.I.P. and the Thoroughbred breed.
The goal of the T.I.P. Youth Ambassador Program is to promote participation in T.I.P. with the mission to encourage retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon completion of careers in racing or breeding. A youth ambassador's role is to positively represent T.I.P. and the Thoroughbred breed at his or her local barn, shows, competitions, or any other activities in which he or she may participate.
T.I.P. Youth Ambassadors must meet the following criteria:
- Be 18 years old or younger as of January 1, 2022
- Reside in the U.S. or Canada
- Own or lease a Thoroughbred with a T.I.P. number
- Participate in T.I.P. shows or programs
The Youth Ambassador Program application can be found on the T.I.P. website.
