Description:
Theodore
O'Connor, a 14.1-hand Thoroughbred Sportpony 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 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.
Double
Gold Medalist At The 2007 Pan American Games!
