Sport Horses

Blue Chip Farms understands the critical importance of proper early development for young sport horses. Turnout, age-appropriate socialization, and expert management during their first years are essential for raising healthy, well-adjusted horses.

​

Weanlings and yearlings are shed-raised, grouped by age and sex into 12–15 per field (minimum 20 acres), and enjoy 24-hour turnout in fields equipped with large run-in, straw-bedded sheds for feeding and shelter. Staff carefully monitor the health, weight, and developmental needs of each horse, providing high-quality hay and grain daily. Fields are tested annually to ensure optimal nutrition.

​

Blue Chip nurtures foals from birth through the spring or summer of their three-year-old year. Young sport horses are raised alongside Blue Chip’s juvenile Standardbreds, whose steady temperaments make them ideal companions.

​

Every foal and young horse receives age-appropriate vaccinations and hoof care, and owners receive detailed physical updates, even if they cannot visit regularly. BCF also assists with breed registry registration, including DNA, markings, and photographs, and can coordinate annual keurings with European judges for those who wish to participate.
