Blue Chip Feed | Horse Supplements & Horse Feed Balancers

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!!

Another successful week for our sponsored rider, Chris Dalton. He has just returned from the Garden of England International Show at Bodiam, Sussex. This was a five day event incorporating 4 shows. Chris took Coal (Hesa Classy Shadow) and repeated last years result by winning the youth and open all rounds in all four shows. They were not placed lower than 2nd all week and also took Grand Champion Gelding for shows 1 & 2. MORE INFO…

Chris was at the Fenland Quarter Horse Show last weekend where he won the Open All Round for the first show on Cole (Hesa Classy Shadow). Unfortunately we couldn’t stay for Show 2 as we had to go to our WES Area show in Richmond, Yorkshire. Chris won all his classes  here,  apart for the ones he had two horses in ,  when he was first and second.

We have ‘aquired’ a couple of new horses. We have a ‘green’ Paint horse called Straits Doc Dee Bar and a palamino Quarter Horse called Sentimental Shine. Both have been sent to us by the head of the UK Paint Horse Association for Chris to compete for the season. They are both reining horses. Photos attached. Dee (the Paint) has a lot to learn yet but we are very excited about Cally – the palamino. It will be a bit quiet for a while , we are off to Oklahoma City in just over two weeks for the AQHA Youth World Cup.

Chris Dalton and Cole (Hesa Classy Shadow) competed in the first Quarter Horse Show, the AQHA Spring Show, and had a great start with wins in all of his youth classes and taking the NSBA Open Trail (National Snaffle Bit Association) and Open Western Riding. Cole is looking fantastic and performing really well too.

.

He has also, finally, been picked to represent the UK at the AQHA World Cup in Oklahoma City in July and was chosen to be team captain. He is one of a team of 5 riders who will compete in all disciplines over there against about 18 other countries.

Chris is 18. He lives just outside Alnwick, in Northumberland ( the location of Harry Potter’s castle). He started riding when he was about 3 years old and went through the usual Pony Club thing. From about 5 yrs he started English showing, first on the lead rein then progressing to first ridden and working hunter classes. He actually managed a 2nd place at Ponies UK in cradle stakes!
