Godspeed, Teddy....

It is with a heavy heart that I let you guys know that America's Favorite Eventing Pony, Theodore O'Connor, was humanely euthanized following an accident on the O'Connor's farm today.

Teddy was shortlisted for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, had won a Team Gold medal at Pan Am last year, and was one of the most, if not THE most decorated pony in Eventing History.

This is a devastating blow, not only to the O'Connor Event Team, Teddy's syndicate, etc. but also to the American public, especially to young riders, a great many of whom held Teddy very close to their hearts.

Godspeed, little man. You touched many lives.
