Blue Chip Feed | Horse Supplements & Horse Feed Balancers

Just a quick email to let you both know that Charlie and I had the most amazing ride on Sunday back in Cornwall. We rode the 32km route at the Camelford Ride with my friends Rachael Sargent and Kathy Clark. I rode the route with Rachael two years ago when her husband who I used to work with couldn’t crew her due to work commitments so I took her under my wing with her cob Drummer. Kathy started endurance riding 2 years ago when she bought her Anglo mare Octavia off me. The improvement in both riders and horses was lovely to see two years on. Charlie (Maarhabi) gave me best ride of the season and all of our hard work this year paid off. Charlie is like riding a gate, because he is 16hh but very narrow and it’s been challenge all season to get him to balance himself but he was an absolute star and navigated the moor land without a problem. His fitness was fabulous and recovery rates superb which is very encouraging for the future.

Thank you both for the trailer stickers too!

I’m really sorry. I forgot to update you on the WES Championships. The Blue Chip Sponsorship went down really well with several competitors asking me for advice on what to spend their vouchers on. Your sponsored rider did you proud again. Chris won the open division for the second year running on Hesa Classy Shadow and the Championship Division for the third year running. (He didn’t contest the youth division this year). Consequently, I’m afraid he won a few of your caps!!

On Sunday 5th September I attend the Badminton Endurance Ride which was only a few miles up the road from where my competition horses are in livery. I had entered my advanced horse Blue Chip Maarhabi into the 65km class and was looking forward to riding some new parts of countryside adjacent to where I train the horses because we’ve only been in this area since February. Unfortunately the weather was not like the day before and as my boyfriend Adam and friend Jane pulled into the venue field the heavens opened and out came our rain coats! My friend and fellow sponsored rider Jayme Bone pulled up in her trailer behind mine with her boyfriend who is also called Adam and her sister Mel. Jayme was riding her young grey Arab mare Dora who she was in the process of upgrading from Open to Advanced. Our horses had ridden part of the Barbury Castle route together in August so we knew they were well matched on pace so we decided to take on the 65km together. It was lovely to ride with Jayme because we’ve known each other since our early teens, ridden on the Young rider’s squad together at European Championships with Kruga and Silver Mistrahl in the late 1990’s and now in our early 30’s we are still going strong and hopefully producing future Team GBR horses.

Joey Eighteen Carrots was third at Somerford Park Horse Trials in the OPN
Then he was 1st at Hutton in The Forest at the beginning of September
He will be next competing at Kelsall Hill Horse Trials this weekend-No pressure!!

I am afraid to say I have recently sold (Ben) Tilston Tic Toc to an up and coming Junior to compete at Novice and I wish them both every success and hope they have loads of fun because that is Ben’s middle name-I miss him like loads as he used to race me home up the drive along the fence! Such a character…..

Hope all well with you

Blaze: After Blue Chip Original

Before Blue Chip Original Feed Balancer

Abbey Hampshire-Boswell is in many ways a typical horseowner, who only changes her feeding regime when there is a particular problem to solve and thanks to really positive experiences, is now a fan of the high quality feed balancer Blue Chip Original.

.

Abbey explains, “I bought a 10 month old Welsh Section D in January and not only was he underweight, he was also covered in rain scald from the top of his neck to the end of his back.

.

After Blue Chip Original Feed Balancer

“I tried many different feeds to try and put weight and condition on him, but it wasn’t until I started to use Blue Chip Original that he began to improve, not only in condition but also temperament. The difference in just five weeks was in fact an amazing transformation.” MORE INFO…

Dear All

I hope all is well? At least the sunshine has come back! I wanted to let you know that my 3 year old Arab colt came joint 2nd overall in the BEF futurity. The results are on the following hyperlink:

.

I’ve already had a few enquiries to use Silver Zenif next year so I just need to arrange with my parents the finer details because he will continue to live with them due to livery yards around the Bristol/Bath area not having facilities for a colt/stallion.

.

Adam & I are taking Charlie (Maarhabi) to the Badminton ride this weekend and hopefully we’ll complete 65km. We’ve then got a ride at Tintern Abbey (19th) and one at Camelford (26th) in Cornwall which I think will finish the season for us. I am hoping that Mel will do these final two because he’s had a slow start due to his rehab over the past 2 years. He is so much stronger through his hind quarters after his RTA and I’ve just found another saddle this week to fit him (he’s been through 4 already this year due to changing shape as he’s become fitter).

.

Endurance GB have asked for me to attend and be present on their stand to promote being a coach. I will be at the event on the Saturday so it would be lovely to see you if you are there?

Kindest regards

Rachael

Blue Chip Feed product’s will be available at the Dodson & Horrell stand, number A56, on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th September… We look forward to seeing you there!!

Here is a quick weather update from the BBC. It looks set to be a nice weekend! 

.

Burghley Horse Trials is both an equestrian sporting event and a social event, and is classified by the FEI as one of the six leading three day events in the world!

.

The competition is called a Three Day Event with three stages taking place, rather confusingly, over four days: Dressage on Thursday and Friday, Cross Country on Saturday and Show Jumping on Sunday. It is a comprehensive test of all-round horsemanship, and involves almost every activity of which the horse is capable. Every competitor must complete each section and their overall score provides the final placing.
