The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) Championships was held at Stable View in Aiken, South Carolina, from October 2-5. The show saw participation from 227 Thoroughbreds.

Cash prizes of $2,000 per division were awarded to the 42 divisions offered, which included hunters, jumpers, English pleasure, dressage, combined test, Western pleasure, ranch riding, competitive trail, and in-hand competition.

“With another successful T.I.P. Championships under our belt, I can’t thank everyone enough for the continued support of the T.I.P. program, and a very special thank you to the team at Stable View for continuing to help make T.I.P. Championships possible,” said Kristin Werner, coordinator of T.I.P. “Being able to honor and further recognize the versatility and adaptability of Thoroughbreds in their careers off the track is a tremendous honor and we hope to continue to do so in the future.”

To qualify for the championships, a T.I.P.-eligible Thoroughbred must participate in a show offering T.I.P. high point awards, classes, or divisions in the applicable discipline beginning August 1 of the prior year through September 15 of the championships year or participate in the T.I.P. Performance Awards in the applicable discipline or qualify through a hardship request.

To be eligible for T.I.P. shows, a Thoroughbred is defined as any horse that has been registered with The Jockey Club or a foreign Thoroughbred stud book recognized by The Jockey Club.

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. Additional information about T.I.P. is available at tjctip.com and on the T.I.P. Facebook page at facebook.com/tjctip
