Chippison is one of the few Traditional Irish Sport Horses standing today that has competed at International Level. With all the foreign imports being introduced for breeding in Ireland today it is hard for breeders, buyers and riders alike to find a top performance Irish stallion to breed from.

Chippison is currently available for stud. Chippison is available though AI, Fresh or Frozen.

 Chippison has performed at the very top level in the world by competing at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen in 2006, jumping clear to help the Irish team to 6th place at the games and finishing as the leading Irish combination. He has mainly been campaigned abroad and has been a member of the Irish team since 2002, having won numerous prizes at top international shows in Europe and in Canada.
