The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) announced today that applications are available for horse shows to apply for 2025 T.I.P. awards. Awards are available for shows of all sizes and virtually any equestrian discipline, including eventing and combined test, dressage, Western and English pleasure, ranch riding, hunter/jumper, endurance, barrel racing, polo, polocrosse, obstacle trail, and working equitation. The application period for all horse shows to apply for 2025 T.I.P. awards is open until September 30, 2024. Horse shows, horse trials, and other events interested in offering T.I.P. awards in 2025 must apply during the application period even if the information or show dates are tentative. All horse shows must apply for awards each year. The online application is available at tjctip.com/About/HSIGI or the “Horse Show Personnel” tab on the T.I.P. website. Awards are not available for online or virtual horse shows. Since its inception, T.I.P. has given awards at more than 12,000 shows in 53 states and provinces. In 2024 alone, T.I.P. awards and classes were approved for more than 1,500 horse shows. In the 652 shows with results reported to date, 7,071 Thoroughbreds competed. Created and announced in October 2011, T.I.P. recognizes and rewards the versatility of the Thoroughbred through sponsorship of Thoroughbred classes and high point awards at sanctioned horse shows, year-end performance awards, a recreational riding program, and non-competition awards.
