The Jockey Club Renews Partnership with USEA

The United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) is pleased to announce The Jockey Club has renewed its sponsorship as “Silver Level Sponsor of the USEA American Eventing Championships” and “Contributing Sponsor of the USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) Series.” They also provide Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP) awards to all TIP champions and reserve champions at the AEC, as well as the YEH Championships.

The Jockey Club is the only breed registry for Thoroughbred horses in North America. The Jockey Club, founded in 1894, is the holder of the American Stud Book, the Thoroughbred stud book in North America, and also is dedicated to preserving the Thoroughbred breed and racing. Over its 125 plus year tenure, The Jockey Club has strived to educate the public on horse racing, horse welfare, and marketing. The TIP program was created to both encourage and reward the repurposing of Thoroughbreds from race to sport horses. It offers sponsorship for special classes and awards for Thoroughbreds at a variety of equestrian competitions, including eventing.

“The Thoroughbred Incentive Program is excited to again be sponsoring awards to recognize the top Thoroughbreds at the American Eventing Championships and Young Event Horse Championships,” said Kristin Werner, deputy general counsel and director of industry initiatives for The Jockey Club and administrator of T.I.P. “Thoroughbreds thrive as eventers at all levels, and we’re so appreciative of the USEA for recognizing Thoroughbreds and promoting their talents in this discipline. USEA Horse Trials are huge supporters of T.I.P. awards annually all across the U.S.”

“The USEA is thrilled to once again have The Jockey Club as a sponsor. Thoroughbreds have been a vital part of the eventing community for decades and continue to hold their own. I’ve always enjoyed working with Thoroughbreds, and I am very excited to have the Jockey Club continue their support for our sport!” said USEA CEO Rob Burk.
