New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program will hold its fourth-annual All-Thoroughbred Charity Horse Show Friday, Sept. 7 and Saturday, Sept. 8 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. Qualified exhibitors will be welcomed to return for The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) Championships on Sunday, Sept. 9, where $25,000 prizes will be awarded in hunter, jumper, pleasure and dressage divisions. The event has become the largest all-Thoroughbred hunter/jumper show in the U.S. Due to increased interest, a dressage category has been added. Entries have been split into junior/amateur and open divisions, and a $1,500 Low Jumper Stake has been added.
“New Vocations is absolutely thrilled with the expansion of our Kentucky show,” said Sarah Coleman, Director of Public and Community Relations. “This event is truly designed to showcase Thoroughbreds, both those that have recently retired form racing and those that are seasoned horse-show pros. We’re excited to add dressage to our offerings this year; in total we’ll have seven competition rings highlighting just what these horses can do once they retire from racing.”

Kristin Werner Leshney, senior counsel for The Jockey Club and the administrator of T.I.P., added, “The Thoroughbred Incentive Program was created to recognize and reward riders and their horses who have excelled in disciplines beyond racing. The program has been a resounding success since its launch in 2012 and the T.I.P. Championships serves as the only North American All-Thoroughbred Championship Show for hunters, jumpers, dressage and pleasure. When you add in the T.I.P. awards offered the week before at the USEA American Eventing Championships, a total of 36 North American Champion Thoroughbreds will be crowned in September.”
