[ThePeanutbutterz]

poor teddy!! :'( what a cute pony

[SelmerLibertyOwner]

Wheres the one time and two time changes? The piaffe and passage? Piruette?? :(

[snowgirl1052]

Sure would be great if showjumping and dressage were on TV as much as football and basketball!

[ruleroftheponies]

poor teddy! he was such a great horse. my thghts are still with the o'conners. i saw him in a video at rolex and that pony did awesome in my point of view

[cordbaker]

Great commentary on dressage and on one of the best eventing ponies there ever was!

[fcthecool]

may i use this for a dressage video i am making? thankss!

[5girlshs]

Teddy! He is the ultimate American! Doesn't matter where you come from anyone can be president! Teddy was on his way to the top! It was so sad not to see him in the Olympics. He will be missed at the Rolex! Ponies Rock!

[UrielVentrice]

karen is absolutely awsome. a lot of people dont like dressage cause its hard. i like it though. anyway she has a lot of control and awsome seat and man its gotta be hard doing that level dressage! :)

[Equestrian195]

[kara2lucy]

[singingsirenofhawaii]

[poniezrock301]

[milliesos]

rip buddy i love u

[chrissyluvhorsey]

TEDDY!!! =D why did he have to be put down? is it just me, or were here stirrups a tad uneven at the first salute? lol very nice ride

[godlovesfrogs]

i know - isnt it sad? He slipped and broke his shoulder. its so sad..

[godlovesfrogs]

well - sorry. no thats not right. its what i heard, but i was wrong. sorry!!! ^.^

[snchallenged66]

He didn't break his shoulder. Max, a woman not a guy, who's the O'Connor's long time groom was hacking Ted while Karen was riding someone else. Teddy was being fresh so Karen told Max to get off and lead him back to the barn... when she got off he spooked and bolted, and slipped as he ran into the barn, slicing his tendons/ligaments on the side of the barn as he fell and rupturing an artery.

[buffalogirl95]

thats what i heard

[StormValleyStables]

he lacerated, that is a technical term

[giggyjuju]

poor teddy. he was an inspiration to small ones everywhere :( never forgotten!

[juniper5815]

Thank you the Sport House for posting this.

[falloutboymuch]

some people say that the riders only like there horses cos they can jump, but for a fact i no that u need to have a connection to ride a horse well and to love and trust the horse with all your heart

karen defiently loves teddy and she trusts him with all her heart, or she wouldnt ride him,a 14.1! pony around 4*

we will miss teddy

but karen will mourn his death 40 years later and on :(

REST IN PEACE

[NGHTYGIRL]

[XRedxDanniX]

Can you email me this to Redelites@ hotmail . com

Send me a message on my YT if you email it or any other clips please..thank you =]

[Jaccko14]

needs to slow down

[1annabelleb]

he doesnt step out much either... but he wins so who are we to critice

[Jaccko14]

Yeh he is quite good for eventing dressage. I would like it to slow down but its working for her so why stop.

[hersheyluva]

part of that wasn't him it was the footage, you can tell if you look close enough that the footage is messed up

[Jaccko14]

Yeh, its possibly the film...

[imjustjoking22]

it is definitely the film it looks pretty screwed up.

[Jaccko14]

oh ok :)

[luvbliss]

He is about 1/8 Shetland!

I am about the same height as the rider and my mare is about the same height as Teddy!

[luvbliss]

I think he is 1/8 Shetland. I can't believe it. My mare is Teddy's height, and I am around the rider's height. x3

[bluedragon436]

He's 3/4 Thoroughbred, 1/8 Arabian, and 1/8 Shetland

[AbbyRM07]

Teddy got "Pony of the Year" and "Horse of the Year" for 2007

[frequentflyer1957]

They called him a USA Bred HORSE. lol 14.1...I wouldn't call him a horse there, bud. lol Great job, Teddy and Karen!

[3DayCharm]

(uh... who's confused here? the announcers said " 14.2 " at the beginng...and you write " 14.1 ". which is it?)

[raygae00711]

he's 14.1 and some odd inches, so I guess you could round up or down with is height :] either way, he's amazing. I love his xc vid.

[StormValleyStables]

14.1 and 3/4 hands

[marxistsunite]

It's the Pony!!!

[wallygrl8]
