Today we remember one of the greatest eventing horses of our time — The Foreman, affectionately known as Chip. 💔



Phillip Dutton’s incredible partner, The Foreman, was more than a champion event horse — he was a teacher, a friend, and a legend in American eventing history. From his humble beginnings as an off-the-track Thoroughbred at Charles Town Races to competing at Burghley Horse Trials, Kentucky Three-Day Event, and winning Fair Hill International, Chip’s journey is a story of courage, connection, and the true heart of eventing.



Under the care of owner Annie Jones and the partnership of Phillip Dutton, Chip rose from racetrack obscurity to become one of the most iconic Thoroughbred eventers of the modern era. His heart, bravery, and intelligence made him unforgettable to everyone who watched him gallop across cross-country courses around the world.



In this emotional tribute, we celebrate The Foreman’s life — from his early days on the track, through his transformation into an elite eventing horse, to his peaceful retirement surrounded by love at Annie Jones’ farm in Unionville. Chip’s story reminds us why we love these horses so deeply — and why their legacies live on long after their final ride.



Run free, Chip. You will never be forgotten. 🕊️
