I would just like to say how amazing both Blue Chip Original and Karma are.

They have transformed my 4-year-old ex-racer mare, Rosa, into a calmer and all round healthier horse.

I bought Rosa straight from her trainer last August as she was not up to the job. She had her last race in June so was relatively “race horse fit” still.

When I got Rosa home she was quite buzzy and unsettled (as you can imagine). She was given a few months off to relax and I began seeking a diet that would help her maintain optimum condition without the “buzz”.

I began to ride Rosa after a few months and generally she was well behaved but very easily unsettled by any changes (riding in a different arena, objects in different places etc.)

She was typically very sensitive to any of my aids and had a tendancy to over react. At this point she was also not taking to her diet and her condition was both difficult and expensive to maintain. I began to research different feeds and supplements to see what was available.

A friend of ours feeds her dressage horse Original and he is in imaculate, optimum condition. He has the ideal weight, his coat is super glossy and his skin healthy.

Our friend highly recommended Original as a feed balancer. After months of failing with other balancers and seeing her horse in such fantastic condition we thought we would give it a try.

After a few weeks Rosa’s condition was improving ten fold. Her coat was incredibly shiny, she was holding her weight and really tucked into her dinners. Since then we have never looked back and Rosa remains in optimum condition. We are also saving so much more money as a bag of Original lasts us around 5-6 weeks, whereas before we were going through other feeds at double the rate and price!

Despite Original massively helping she was still quite sharp and flustered when under saddle so we looked into calmers, although already sceptical. As we were already so pleased with the results of Original we looked into the Karma. Another friend of ours mentioned she had used it on her tb x connemara and highly recommended it. So we took the plunge and gave it a go.

After only one week I saw huge changes to Rosa both under saddle and in herself. She became so relaxed and wasn’t as sharp or temperamental. I can’t tell you how much the Karma has helped in our re-training of Rosa. She is so much easier to work with and is a much happier horse overall.

The spooking has been reduced dramatically, although she does still have the odd spook. I can wrap my legs around her and use my seat and leg aids without a dramatic over reaction. I can ride her in different surroundings without the nervous tension and really start to enjoy riding her.

I have never found calmers as effective as Karma and without it I would be lost! Blue Chip Karma and Original have given me a new horse.

Thanks Blue Chip!

In February 2010 I bought a 3 year old ex-racehorse TB filly, who was almost starved to death. She weighed only 350 kg and was unable to get herself up once lying down.

As soon as she arrived I put her on proper feed (6 meals a day) and added Blue Chip Original to every meal, after a friend had recommended it.

No-one ever thought that Pebbles (formerly known as Precious) would fully recover, or make a riding horse one day. Even the vet didn’t give her much of a chance.

I bluntly refused to have her put to sleep though, and with much help from the yard owner (who lifted her up with a sling and a tractor a few times), good food and care she managed to survive and became a healthy, good looking horse again.

She has grown quite a lot and is back to a normal weight of 520kg.  She is 4 and a half years old now and I have started her re-training programme.  She’s eager and very willing to learn.

I still feed her (and my other 2 horses) Blue Chip Original and I must say that it is the best feed balancer for my horses’ needs.

You can see the difference yourself in the photos above, which were taken in March 2010 and May 2011.

Thank you for producing such high-quality food. I doubt that she would have recovered so quickly without Blue Chip Original.

Kind regards,

Breeze arrived at the NAC; a bag of bones, crawling with lice, hooves cracked and broken, she barely had the strength to hold herself up. Our equine vet gave a very poor prognosis for her future and considering she was 29 years old we had little hope that this poor mare would recover from the years of abuse and neglect she had suffered.

However Breeze had other plans! She surprised us all with her tremendous courage and will to live and went on to make an astonishing recovery. Blue Chip Original was an important part of her feeding regime, providing her with all the necessary nutrients to grow strong healthy hooves ands a glossy coat. Her digestion improved greatly when Original was introduced. Breeze went on to live to the ripe old age of 34 and enjoyed every moment of her new life.
