Join the Thoroughbred sport horse movement with a T.I.P. sponsorship!

The year-end Performance Awards are the annual Thoroughbred competition awards of The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program, created to expand the reach of T.I.P. and allow riders in all states and Canadian provinces to participate even if horse shows in their area do not offer T.I.P. awards or do not offer awards in their discipline. The Performance Awards recognize the Thoroughbred accumulating the most points at all live horse shows, horse trials, and other horse events. In addition to 13 categories and over 70 divisions, Performance Awards may be offered to the top Thoroughbreds bred or residing in a states and province. Thoroughbred breeder and owner organizations, horse councils and other state or provincial horse organizations are offered the opportunity to recognize Thoroughbreds that were bred and/or reside in their state or province that are exceling in a second career. These sponsored, state or province specific performance awards are well received by participants and sponsors. We hope you will join T.I.P.’s efforts to encourage the retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon completion of careers in racing or breeding.
