[@tmustang94]

cant beleive he is gone, he was a damn good pony and he knew it

[@Jumper2295]

That was a one of kind pony!!

[@ImogenC-rt3fm]

BIONIC PONY!! Springs for legs. Heart of a giant. Completely and utterly BESPOKE for eventing. Something non-riders should know: Ponies are harder to ride due to their lower center of mass. And there’s less to wrap your legs around. Yet they stay sounder longer, and have better recovery times than larger horses. Dunno his actual height, but he’s a little guy with the jump and gallop and heart of a giant.

[@LovesScrumpy]

teddy is one amzing, spunky little horse

[@EvilPanda6]

Teddy really was an amazing horse : )

[@mjedge808]

RIP Teddy, we will miss you so very much. You were the biggest horse in the smallest of packages. :(

[@TheGoldpony]

Welch ein super Pferd!!! Gute Harmonie zwischen Reiter und Pferd!

[@snickers9808]

[@StormValleyStables]

good ole Teddy! I love Mrs.Karren and him! My trainer and Karren are friends so some of my friends got to visit Teddy in his winter home. Mrs.Karren and the O'Conner team are probably moving there right now. My trainers horse is with her now and is going Advanced next year.

[@StormValleyStables]

yea, I might go down and visit their farm in ocala to try out some horses Mrs.Karen is asking around for me.

[@Anchorlesss]

I was just watching her yesterday

[@syrynus876]

An amazng PONY! Little Teddy..small body, giant heart!

[@horselover1239]

Teddy was such an AMAZING HORSE!!!

[@littlebriley]

this horse has amazing stride length speed and jump height this horse and rider are a perfaect match

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

What a horse. What a loss. He didn't even blink at any of those and he was flying at the end! He will be missed.

[@Jazzme2305]

Yeah. He died May 28. He was at Karen and David O'Connor's farm in The Plains, Va. While away from the barn he spooked and broke free from his handlers and was found with a severed hind tendon, two cut arteries and other injuries. RIP Beautiful Pony

[@Lizzie200292]

@pwynnnorman yeah it has, hope to see your horses on TV soon!

[@qhgirl531]

i luved watching this pony!!! did any of yall know he was for sale? for $10,000, but i dont think he is for sale anymore

[@Aeoquis]

So tragic, my heart goes out to Karen, her heart break must be terrible. David too. Someone said: To love is to know grief. RIP

[@USS_Galactica]

From what I read, he was being led to an arena for morning training. Spooked and got away, then slipped on the way back to the barn and cut his leg so bad that it severed the tendons and ligaments.

[@SillySmoothtCollie]

Thanks I have wondered, and that makes a lot of seance

[@77Turquoise]

Were there microphones in some of the jumps? I could hear him breathing and hit the jump very clearly when he was near/over a jump, but not when he was far away from one. R.I.P. Teddy

[@TheEventer94]

I LOVE TEDDY! =D

[@ribbon5461]

"though he be but little he is fierce"

[@karmelova]

[@Brodiebby]

[@GALOPINGFILLY]

[@vikinghunter79]

Little Teddy proved that you don't have to have a 17 h beast to do Cross country.

[@Lizzie200292]

@Lizzie200292 oh and another thing, my horse is a gelding :( so not much use to you there. His sire is Arms And The Man (non raced TB) and his dam La Faarette (arab). He was bred in Wales and his sire (Arnie) was in horse and hound as a recommended sire, thats gotta be good :)

[@hoofbeat22]

i love the fact that he was a pony

[@Virtie333]

Awesome.

[@StormValleyStables]

he wasnt being ridden, he was being led

[@TuckerLuver02]

poor teddy i saw him twice but it wasn't enough

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

Miss Teddy.

[@syrynus876]

And with a Sheltie's agility and toughness!

[@2tipperary]

Go go Teddy O!

[@foxdemon23112]

@Lizzie200292 there's a horse at the barn where i used to ride who was related to Secretariat =)

[@horsecrazy072]

Whoever the people were that put 9 dislikes on this be prepared I'm hunting you down. I LOVED Teddy though he's my idol that made me wanna start XC and now I LOVE it!!
