The T.I.P. Youth Ambassador Program is offered on an annual basis to young riders who own or lease a Thoroughbred and have actively participated in T.I.P. sponsored shows, classes or award programs. 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.
To apply to be a T.I.P. Youth ambassador you must meet the following criteria:
  • Age: 18 years old or younger (as of January 1st of the ambassador year)
  • Reside in the US, Canada or Puerto Rico
  • Own or lease a Thoroughbred with a registered T.I.P. number
  • Participate in T.I.P. (Non-competition award applicant or participation in T.I.P. sponsored shows or classes)
In 2024, the Thoroughbred Incentive Program will select Youth Ambassadors to represent the program and the Thoroughbred breed for one calendar year. Applications for the 2024 Youth Ambassador program will open in the fall. Check back for more information.
