Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Theodore O'Connor, a 14.1 hand thoroughbred sport pony gelding, made history at the 2007 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI in Lexington, Kentucky as he became the first pony- horses are 14.2 hands or taller - to compete in the prestigious four-star event. “The Pony”, as he was referred to throughout the weekend, was piloted to third place by two-time Olympic medalist Karen O'Connor and was one of only two horses to finish the stadium jumping round with no jumping or time penalties. In the end, he was awarded the Best Conditioned Horse Trophy. Then, to further that spectacular start to the competitive year, he carried O'Connor to a double gold medal victory in the 2007 Pan American Games.

Bred and owned by Sportponies Unlimited, Theodore O'Connor, better known as "Teddy" around the barn, was foaled in 1995 by the Thoroughbred stallion, Theodore, out of a Thoroughbred/Arabian/Shetland-cross mare, Chelsea's Melody. Today, he is stabled with the O'Connor Event Team in The Plains, Virginia and in Ocala, Florida.
