It’s the first weekend in April, let your Rolex Countdown commence in earnest! We are just 19 days away from what is sure to be a very exciting four-star. In celebration of the upcoming #BestWeekendAllYear, we asked you to create an artistic way to show off your Rolex tickets. We ran a voting poll all week to determine the winner of a brand new Tipperary T-series helmet, and we’re pleased to announce that Anna Suhl is our winner!
Anna received just over 41% of the votes, and her artsy horse head — complete with mane — is definitely worthy of the fabulous prize offered by Tipperary. Congratulations, Anna!

Tipperary Encourages Riders to ‘Dash for Cash’ at Rolex: Tipperary is returning to Kentucky this year as the sponsor for its annual “Dash for Cash” contest. Riders will be eligible to win additional prize money in each phase, which is considered separately. Several riders who are supported by Tipperary or who choose to ride in a Tipperary vest will be competing this year, including Tipperary rider Rachel McDonough.
Each phase will provide an opportunity to win $5,000 in prize money. The breakdown of criteria is as follows:
Dressage Phase: $5,000 Tipperary “Dash for Cash” Bonus Award Money is awarded to the rider who is the overall leader in the dressage phase and is wearing the Tipperary T-Series helmet.
Cross Country Phase: $5,000 Tipperary “Dash for Cash” Bonus Award Money is awarded to the winning rider who has no jumping penalties and is closest to the optimum time during cross-country. This rider must be wearing the Tipperary Eventer Pro 3015 to be eligible for the prize money.
Show Jumping Phase: $5,000 Tipperary “Dash for Cash” Bonus Award Money is awarded to the winning rider who is wearing a Tipperary T-series helmet and has no jumping penalties and no time penalties.
Best of luck to all Tipperary riders this year! [Tipperary] [Tipperary on Facebook]
