It’s pretty wild to wrap one’s mind around the amount of momentum the Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) has gained since it was launched by The Jockey Club not quite a decade ago. T.I.P. recognizes and rewards the versatility of the Thoroughbred through sponsorship of Thoroughbred classes and high point awards at sanctioned horse shows, performance awards, and non-competition awards — and the number of participating shows and horses continues to swell each year.
Last week T.I.P. announced that it has approved nearly 7,000 awards and classes at more than 1,400 shows in 41 states and six Canadian provinces in 2020. Awards are available in virtually every imaginable discipline including, of course, eventing. 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.
This year’s eventing T.I.P. calendar is massive, stretching from coast to coast and well into Canada. A full calendar of shows offering awards is available here. We created a map and listed participating schooling and recognized horse trials below — see the calendar for combined tests and additional disciplines.
