The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP) has approved awards and classes for nearly 750 shows in 43 states and Canadian provinces during 2015. A full calendar of events is available at tjctip.com.

The show disciplines include eventing, dressage, Western and English pleasure, hunter/jumper, Western performance, games, and polo and polocrosse.

“This program was created to encourage the retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon completion of their careers in racing or breeding and it is obviously fulfilling that mission because in three years, we have offered awards at 1,100 horse shows in 41 states and provinces,” said Kristin Werner Leshney, legal associate for The Jockey Club and TIP coordinator.

In addition to awards for shows, TIP has renewed the Thoroughbred of the Year Award and the Young Rider of the Year Award. Applications for these non-competition awards will be available at tjctip.com in April with a submission deadline of June 30
