.Horse shows that offer awards from the Thoroughbred Incentive Program in 2024.
Please note that Alabama has NO, NONE, ZERO horse shows that give out T.I.P. awards. This is a commentary on the horse industry in the state. Other places I’ve lived? MD – 130, PA – 198. NC – 51. The other states with zero T.I.P. awards are bunch of western states (Idaho, Montana, Nevada, South Dakota, Minnesota) and possibly Rhode Island.
Yes, I need to try harder. As one commenter said, to cast a wider net. However, I would like the record to reflect that my environment is not making it easy. [The Next Step, comment by Betsy in WI]
Popped up on my feed from Facebook: The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program. Last year’s version had one show in Alabama according to Eventing Nation: Competing an OTTB This Year? Check Out the 2023 T.I.P Calendar. Can’t locate a link to the original for either year on The Jockey Club T.I.P. site.
Milton has been signed up for the program. [Providing Milton With Incentive]
I’m still salty about the need for a Thoroughbred Incentive Program. [Get Off My Lawn, And Take Your Warmblood With You]
In other news, the program offers awards for western classes. Western folks, do you see many Thoroughbreds at your shows? TJCTIP: Categories and Divisions

Great idea and glad it’s alive — somewhere. I remember exercising retired race horses (100% thoroughbred) for owners who were either too busy during the week, or pregnant and couldn’t ride. Those thoroughbreds were just the sweetest horses to have around.
My only warning is — beware of their gallop. It’s really fast!! Lol.

Gallop. Yeah. I learned that when I bridged my reins – something that jockeys do. Zzzzzzzoom.
