| T.I.P. awards Top Thoroughbreds at USEA Young Event Horse Championships | |
The Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) recognized the top Thoroughbreds at the 2024 Dutta Corp United States Eventing Association’s (USEA) Young Event Horse (YEH) East Coast Championships, held October 17-18, 2024, in Elkton, Maryland, at Fair Hill. Emily Bradford won the 5-year-old championship title riding her Thoroughbred mare Rose Traveler (registered as Rossie'slastdance), securing a victory over 41 other 5-year-old horses of all breeds. They were also awarded the T.I.P. high point Thoroughbred award. Rossie'slastdance is a 2019 bay mare by War Dancer out of Nashwan Rose (GB), by Nashwan, bred in Pennsylvania by Amy Taylor Rowe. She is unraced. Margaret Goodale claimed the T.I.P. high point Thoroughbred title in the 4-year-old division on Ema Klugman’s Thoroughbred gelding Wood’s Hole. Wood’s Hole is registered with The Jockey Club as Super Salvatore, a 2020 gr/ro gelding by Super Saver out of Passeporta, by Rockport Harbor. Bred in New York by Torie D. Gladwell, Super Salvatore raced twice for owner Bloom Racing Stable LLC (Jeffrey Bloom). The goal of the YEH program is to highlight young horses that have the ability and temperament to excel in the highest levels of eventing if given the proper training. The YEH championships are for 4-year-old and 5-year-old horses, and horses and riders are asked to compete in three sections: Dressage, Conformation/Type, and Jumping Test/Gallop/General Impression. There were no Thoroughbreds at the Young Event Horse West Coast Championships, held from October 25-26, 2024, in Paso Robles, California, at Twin Rivers Ranch. More information about the USEA Young Event Horse Championships, including results and program guidelines, can be found at useventing.com. 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.
