You can't tell how small he is until he's alongside those other big eventers... Such a brave little boy he must have been!

[MaizieandMindy]

Such a brave little pony...only 14.2 hands and tackling all those massive fences..He had such courage and skill ♥

[wss0626]

[Horsesarelife1001]

I love at at 2:10 when she is holding a teddy gram. RIP Teddy! He was really a super-pony :,(

[oXDukesofHazardXo]

He was being exercised, and spooked,galloped back to the barn and slipped and tore open one of his tendons, he had to be euthanized. And he just wasn't 14.1 hands tall that IS a pony, 14.2 3/4 of an inch was how tall teddy stood. Just one quarter of an inch higher he would of been a horse. i was saving up all my money to go to rolex just to see him compete, rest in piece Theodorable <3

[Morganhorse369]

OMg I was so sad when I heard about this! But I love the last picture how its him and her other horse and there's such a size difference, but that little pony could do all that the other horse could, haha.

[ClairemontStable]

Poor little guy. Part Shetland to part shire, he was the best :(

[Dustythoroughbred]

Awww! Watching the video with this particular song made me cry!!! Poor thing! :-(

[endorandme]

warum ist er tot ?

why is he dead ?

[Horsesarelife1001]

@endorandme He had to be put down after he tripped and tore a tendon. He was always a brave little dude, I'm sure he was brave then! RIP

[perfectstorm101]

[koep4]

[HTKingAbrash]

He kind of reminds me of Erin Go Bragh. He had so much courage.

[livelaughlove09mjv]

Teddy was by far the best!!!! We Love YOU!!!!!!

[JessieandCuba]

he's so tiny....and still he manages to jump hurdles normal horses can't jump...

amazing he is adoreable!

WOW

[4everhorsegirl]

aww poor baby

[GoldenRetrieverFreak]

that"s sad=(

[heavenstarbff]

I miss him so much, he was so amazing! When I heard about the accident, I almost died......poor guy, that Theodor...........but he's in a better place now, having the time of his life..........WE LOVE YOU TEDDY!!!!!!!!!!

[23751]

Does noone remember Stroller the 14.2 pony who Marion Coakes rode in the olympics for Showjumping TeamGB..he would jump anything and everything!!!

[HorseJumper2221]

oh wow i heard that when someone was exerciseing him he got hurt some how????? gosh i miss him!!!! i ment him in person I cried sooo much n he was 13! the age of my horse....

[DragonHeart956]

it was a really bad jumping accedent. he spooked and then i heard he was put to sleep at the scene because of a broken leg and a ruptured tendon or something like that. his rider was injered as well. poor pony:)

[tbrintonsevenhi]

i liked cryed when i heard..... :(..... that pony was amazing! he was beautiful! Especially for those of us who got to see him in person

[StunnaShowjumper]

We Miss You Teddy!

Such an Inspiration to all those little 14hh horses! Some people think they are too small! Well you showed em..

Miss you so much!

[DragonHeart956]

14hh ponies like cody, who when we jumped him, he was scared at first, but he would always get up the courage to jump. and he was origanaly a cutting horse! you were AMAZING, Teddy!

[maplewoodhorsekid1]

Weird...someone told me he was a connemara

[GreatAuntCayce]

They did the right thing by putting Teddy down. It would have been wrong to make him suffer. Even if Teddy had survived it would have taken him a long time to get better. Either way they would have had to put him to sleep.

[Horsesyou2me]

aww

I never knew he had died.

And he was Only 14.1!

He was a super angel.

And only the Fantastic die young,

God neeed the best angel he could ask for, so he took our teddy.

[iznbwn]

I will pray for you God Bless

[hunterhorse93]

Karen and David are probably watching these videos and reading these comments of sorrow and how much people miss Teddy. I'm sure that it will make them feel overjoyed that people care for their pony. I too miss him and want you, Karen if you read this, to know that you and Teddy are and will forever be an inspiration to me.I used to ride a pony and I jumped her 3'3Ft and people always told me that I would never get far with a pony. But thanks to you, I managed to pull through and win many shows.

[carlinarabians]

I wonder what happend to him?!

[541dressage]

He got scared, and he ran back to the barn and he slipped and did serious damage to his legs. He got he tendons,legiaments, and even cut a main artery. They had to put him down.

RIP teddy......

[MithrilMaid]

Terrific video Carley! Did you take the pics at Head of the Lake? Cuz I think I was sitting right near you on some of them! We were right on the rope dividing the media from the rest of the public. :)

[carleyCANfly]

I didn't take the pics

I found them offline

so i have to put the credits up

[MithrilMaid]

ah okay. wow. some of those are so close to where i was!

What a sad year for the eventing population and everybody else that took notice of eventing largely due to Teddy's incredible talent.

[Eventer101]

Plus the two horses that died at Rolex and another who died at another event a weekend or two after rolex.

Forgetting names.

It's been a very tragic year.

[roorosey]

you're thinking of Frodo Baggins and The Quiet Man. It has been hard. Then there's the two who died at red hills... god it's been a tough year

[carleyCANfly]

Yep, I have to agree

barbaro, Eight Belles

Jessica and now Teddy ='(

you would never expect something this horrible, that keeps repeating.

[Eventer101]

God I can't believe he's gone too.

I had the pleasure of meeting him a year or two ago and watching him compete.

He was incredible.

RIP.

and gretchen, it sure has been. Let's keep our fingers crossed that everyone else remains safe and unharmed.

[gretchenpc]

Very nice.

Boy, this has been a heart-breaking year for horse lovers.
