I remember reading about Marian and Stroller when a child. Thanks for the memories.

[@historicalhorses9816]

Incredible combination

[@Havoc5429]

Such a wonderful pair together, again covered a lot on tv. Happy memories. Thank you another gem ❤

[@historicalhorses9816]

Just unbelievable scope from Stroller.

[@KAREN-rx9pq]

[@historicalhorses9816]

Very special pair indeed.

[@marysheehy4733]

Love this video on Stroller!! Also that you mentioned Theodore O’Connor!!

[@historicalhorses9816]

A pair of absolute legends Stroller & Theodore. 🤩

[@user-xn2hf9re8r]

I had ponies and they were clearly wimps as none liked jumping! This is an amazing little creature. Agree we need more horsey programmes on tv.

[@historicalhorses9816]

My ponies never jumped like this either 😂. Stroller was unbelievable.

I remember Stroller and Marion Coates. As girl you could run up to famous riders like David Broome, The Barker brothers and ask for their autographs. One of my favourite memories was getting to see very close up Stroller and had a lovely conversation Marion . I adored Stroller! I still have her autograph in my autograph book!! Thanks for the video.💚👍

[@historicalhorses9816]

What wonderful memories. Would love to have seen him close up.

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

I'm not quite old enough to remember seeing Stroller on the telly, but I read a lot about him in books and magazines when I was older. He was utterly amazing!

[@historicalhorses9816]

His talent was unreal, I never knew he’d been so successful.

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

@@historicalhorses9816 I knew about him winning the Hickstead Derby, the Queen's Cup, and other big classes, and that he'd been to the Olympics, didn't know he won a medal, only knew he fell in the team comp.

[@thepansthisthatandtheother7766]

So enjoyed this Time to look up your others.

[@historicalhorses9816]

Thank you, I have eyed up another already ☺️

A 14.2 hand pony jumped 6'8"??? Dang!

[@historicalhorses9816]

Absolutely crazy isn’t it! I did double check as it didn’t seem possible but he did.

[@KAREN-rx9pq]

Yes I remember it too it was AMAZING.

[@homesteadlife2235]

Teddy, Theodore O'Connor, was Olympian Karen O'Connor's 14.1 and 3/4 hand international superstar chestnut pony gelding. He was part Shetland, Arabian, and Thoroughbred. He spooked a lot with all his hot blood, eventually resulting in leg injuries which led to his being put down aged 13.

[@historicalhorses9816]

That was the one I was thinking about. I didn’t realise he was pts at just 13 how sad.

[@nonieharries7441]

The Derby course is the same now…!

[@historicalhorses9816]

My goodness well it is remarkable they won the Hickstead Derby.

[@greentombdive]

Well done. Subbed. Now going to @^@ YT for Marion and Stroller.

[@historicalhorses9816]

Thank you ☺️. Such a fantastic combo.
