TIP CHALLENGE
Interested in competing in a training challenge? TIP Challenges are competitions that allow competitors to showcase the talents of their wild horses or burros.
TIP Challenge competitors adopt or purchase their competition animal at the scheduled TIP Challenge pick up, and gentle it in-hand in preparation for the in-hand only TIP Challenge event. Competitors will compete for prizes and more.
Challenges are hosted by TIP trainers with a successful record of placements. All animals adopted at pick up are considered TIP animals, and the TIP Challenge Manager will be compensated for each adoption/ purchase to help produce the event, purchase prizes, and more!
