I have had chip for nearly 5 years so I know him inside out. He is a pleasure to do in all ways, on the ground and to be ridden. He has a massive personality and definitely a character on the yard. This is an extremely hard decision as I am going off to university and he would be wasted sitting at home. So I have decided it is time for chip to teach someone new what we have learnt together.

Chip is currently competing at 80cm showjumping unaffiliated but is ready to step up to 90cm. He is very careful and neat so he will usually go clear. He is currently schooling out cross country at 80cm. He can sometimes be funny about water but more recently taken to cantering through with no problems. We have worked hard on overcoming his anxieties with xc is ditches. He is a pony that when he gets pressured he will be increasingly reluctant. He responds better to patiently building confidence. However, he is very bold out cross country and absolute loves it. He has done one ODE last year I had planned to do more this year but unfortunately A levels came in the way of that.

We are currently competing at prelim and novice in dressage. He does really like schooling and with the right person could easily excel at novice level. Chip is also a pro at pony club he often attends rallies with me and has gone to 4 pony club camps and this is something he really enjoys. Out hacking chip can go in the font back middle he is very reliable and he's been a nanny to my other baby horse. He has also lived on farms so is very used to farm machinery and dogs. Chip is a very handsome pony wherever we go he always gets compliments.

Having said this he is not a first pony when chip gets excited he can throw in a decent buck it is never to be nasty he only does it if he gets excited to be out. He is also not a push button pony he will make you work to get what you want. He is a very honest pony but sometimes if he feels that you don't want to do something then he won't do it so he needs a confident rider. So for these reasons no novices please.

Unfortunately in September of 2023 chip had to have colic surgery, the vets opened him up and realised that he didn't actually have colic so he has't had the full procedure and he is never actually had colic (happy to discuss the details) because of this he does have a lump under his stomach but it does not affect him in anyway. Apart from this incident he is never sick or sorry.

Chip is up to date with vacs, teeth etc .

He doesn't have vices good to load, clip and with farrier ( he doesn't have shoes on as his feet are hard enough without them) .

He will come with all tack saddle, bridle, rugs etc

An ideal home for chip would be someone who wants to do a bit of everything and have fun with a safe sensible cheeky pony. He would also be a mother daughter dream. Chip is a very sociable boy so he does need friends in his field he cannot live alone. This is an extremely hard decision so please only enquire if you are serious, 5 star home only.
