LIL CHIPOTLE

(AKA: Chip)
(AIHR AA - 4529)

         Born in February 1st, 2006, Chip is a fine dark bay gelding that stands tall as his sire at 14.2 hands at the age of two. Chip's by Painted Tiger. His dam is our great old quarter horse mare, Lil Bit

           Quite a character to be around, this guy's got a personality that just won't quit! We had some visitors here at the ranch that have never been around horses, so they were a little concerned when Chip came up asking for some loving...not to mention some cookies. Before the day was over, they got pictures of Chip walking around in a baseball cap, parading around as if he knew he was something special. He was particularly proud of how he could toss his head and make the baseball cap flop around drastically....and make the other horses stop and stare. They knew that something was wrong, for Chip wasn't supposed to have that thing attached to his head.

           It was all great fun and Chip got some extra cookies for being so well mannered around the newcomers. Oh, and I'll post the pics of Chip wearing that hat just as soon as I can get them from those friends of mine.

           Sweeter than anything, Chip is a big baby that picks up things quickly and is easy to teach. He's got his ground work done and we started him under saddle the last week of September. After Chip's calm attitude when taking a saddle for the first time, David stood in one stirrup and let Chip get used to the weight in the saddle.

           It wasn't long before we had my grand daughter Kayson riding around on him. I got some really nice video of Chip's first ride...and wouldn't you know, Kayson was all smiles!

           Chip didn't even seem to mind anything that we did with him...he's such a great gelding. What can I say? He can't help but be good natured. He gets that calmness from both Painted Tiger (his sire) and Lil' Bit (his dam).
