Winners will be decided via and essay contest and awarded $5,000 which can be applied to the college of their choice or to their participation in an event that furthers their involvement with horses.

Thoroughbreds registered with The Jockey Club are eligible for participation in both awards.

The Jockey Club’s T.I.P Program Announces 2023 Schedule

More than 6,700 awards and classes at more than 1,400 shows in 43 states and six Canadian provinces will be offered for off-track Thoroughbreds in 2023, The Jockey Club's Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P) announced on Tuesday.

Awards are available for multiple disciplines, including eventing, dressage, Western and English pleasure, ranch riding, hunter/jumper, endurance, barrel racing, polo, and polocrosse.

T.I.P. Championships in hunters, jumpers, combined test, dressage, English pleasure, and English in-hand will return this year to Stable View in Aiken, South Carolina, from Oct. 5 through Oct. 8. T.I.P. Western & Central Dressage Championships will be held Oct. 11 through Oct. 14. at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington during the Retired Racehorse Project's (RRP) Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium, presented by Thoroughbred Charities of America.

“The Jockey Club is proud of the expansive number of T.I.P.-approved awards, classes, and championships that showcase the diversity Thoroughbreds have in their second careers,” Kristin Werner, senior counsel for The Jockey Club and coordinator of T.I.P., said. “Our partnership with organizations like Stable View and the Retired Racehorse Project further expand opportunities for Thoroughbreds to excel in multiple disciplines beyond the track, and we are proud to see the continued growth and success of T.I.P in 2023.”

T.I.P. Championships Split Between Aiken and Lexington

The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) Is hosting two championship shows in 2022, both held this month. The T.I.P. Championships & Eastern Dressage Championships are taking place Oct. 6-9 in Aiken, South Carolina, and the T.I.P. Western Championships & Central Dressage Championships are scheduled for Oct. 12-15 in Lexington, Kentucky, in conjunction with the Retired Racehorse Project's Thoroughbred Makeover.

Nearly 350 Thoroughbreds are slated to compete in 38 divisions. Each division will be awarded $2,000 in prize money with awards through 10th place and special classes will be held for horses that have started 50 or more times, have won more than $100,000 in earnings, or were adopted from Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance-accredited organizations or Thoroughbred Charities of America grantees.

“We are excited to expand a full T.I.P. championship horse show to two locations in 2022 after offering just a barrel racing division in Kentucky in 2021,” said Kristin Werner, senior counsel for The Jockey Club and administrator of T.I.P. “Splitting the disciplines between both facilities will allow us to better highlight the versatility of the Thoroughbred in a range of disciplines; it will also allow even more competitors to show off their mounts.”

The South Carolina show is being held at Stable View Equestrian Center and will feature hunter, jumper, English pleasure, dressage, combined test, and English in-hand competition. The Kentucky show will take place at the Kentucky Horse Park and will host dressage, Western dressage, barrel racing, Western pleasure, Western halter, ranch riding, and competitive trail competition.

T.I.P. Names Non-Competition Award Winners

The Jockey Club (TJC) Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) has announced the 2022 recipients of its two non-competition awards, the T.I.P. Thoroughbred of the Year Award and the T.I.P. Young Rider of the Year Award.

The Thoroughbred of the Year Award, which recognizes a Thoroughbred that has excelled in a non-competitive career, such as equine-assisted therapy or police work, goes to “River,” a mare born in 2000 and raced as Teen Dancer (Mt. Magazine). River is a therapy horse at CORRAL, a nonprofit that equips adolescent girls in high-risk situations through a long-term, holistic program of equine therapy and education. The award includes a $5,000 grant to CORRAL.

“Like so many of our youth, River was rejected time and time again from her foster homes. It wasn't until she came to CORRAL that she found her forever home,” said Joy Currey, founder and executive director of CORRAL. “Now she helps young women find a place they can call their 'home-away-from-home' where they can access their bright, bright futures. River's intense spirit matches well with our rigorous college-preparatory environment and teaches our girls that they are capable of so much more than the world expects of them.”

Recipients of the Young Rider of the Year Award are Ashlynn Riley, Andie Sue Roth, and Erika Williams. The award recognizes riders 18 or younger who own or lease a Thoroughbred for use in 4-H, Pony Club, or other activities.

Riley, a T.I.P. ambassador, owns and events Mr Pappagiorgio (Holy Bull; barn name “George”) and will use her award to help with tuition of her online veterinary technician program at Penn Foster University and for training with George.

Roth uses Cape Royal (Anziyan Royalty) to do dressage. A Paralympic hopeful, Roth plans to use her award to continue training with Lisa Hellmer, the U.S. Para Equestrian Development Coach, in Ocala.

Williams owns and rides House of Troy (Distorted Humor; barn name “Troy”). She plans to use her award to ship Troy from her home in California to her college in Kentucky.
