The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP) has announced the recipients of its two non-competition awards for 2013: the TIP Thoroughbred of the Year Award and the TIP Young Rider of the Year Award.

Recipient of the Thoroughbred of the Year Award, which recognizes a Thoroughbred that has excelled in a non-competitive career, is Loveable Rascal, an 11-year-old therapy horse from Fieldstone Farm Therapeutic Riding Center in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. He has been a therapy horse for six years.

Bred by Brereton C. Jones’ Airdrie Stud, Loveable Rascal (known as Rascal) went on to become a successful hunter/jumper after his racing career and became a therapy horse after sustaining an injury.

"Rascal is one of those horses that not only knows he is helping riders, he wants to," Jinene Studinski, equine director at Fieldstone Farm wrote in the award application. "Through Rascal’s generous heart and instinct to serve, children with autism and Down Syndrome have said their first words. Adults with multiple sclerosis and children with neurological disorders have improved balance and gained strength. Some have even taken their first steps after riding him. High school students and military veterans have found hope and strength. Rascal is an amazing horse that reaches people of all ages and with all kinds of challenges and helps them become stronger physically and emotionally so they can better cope with daily life
