Our champion veteran has just made his first appearance at Olympia.

‘I’m Blue Chip Too’ thoroughly enjoyed his trip to London and was so excited when entering the huge floodlit arena, but behaved impeccably to get the same mark as the champion.

We were so thrilled when he got reserve champion, with all the Blue Chip team there to watch. He was ridden by Blue Chip’s founder Clare Blaskey who’s children and grandchildren were all there to watch.

A pair of horses owned by Sheffield business woman have galloped to success in two shows.

Blue Chip Feed was founded in February 1996 by Clare Blaskey and was named after her horse, Blue Chip.

Having had horses all her life and while working for another feed company, Clare’s customers, many of whom had become friends, suggested that she start her own company. Clare knew there had to be a better way of feeding horses and ponies and contacted The Kentucky Equine Research Station in the USA and told them of her ideas. With the help and encouragement of leading scientists, vets and horse owners, Blue Chip Original was formulated and the rest, as they say, is history.
