Breyer Traditional Theodore O'Connor Eventing Pony - For Kids

Theodore OConnor, 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 medallist Karen OConnor and was one of only two horses to finish the show 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 OConnor to a double gold medal victory in the 2007 Pan American Games!

Bred and owned by Sportponies Unlimited, Theodore OConnor, better known as Teddy around the barn, was foaled in 1995 by the Thoroughbred stallion, Theodore, out of a Thoroughbred/Arabian/Shetlandcross mare, Chelseas Melody. Today, he is stabled with the OConnor Event Team in The Plains, Virginia and in Ocala, Florida.
