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. This year also saw the addition of a new Thoroughbred Premier Show Series running alongside the championships, which featured novice rider and green horse hunter classes, a $5,000 hunter classic, and a $5,000 jumper classic. "Another successful T.I.P. Championships reminds us just how strong and passionate the Thoroughbred aftercare community is," said Kristin Werner, coordinator of T.I.P. "We are deeply appreciative of everyone who supports the program, especially Stable View for helping provide a world-class home for this event. The championships give us an opportunity to highlight the versatility of Thoroughbreds and the people who help them succeed, and we are excited to continue expanding that impact in the future."
