Theodore O'Connor, the pint-sized equine with the big heart, was recently named the United States Eventing Association Horse of the Year and also the Farnam/Platform USEF Horse of the Year. "Teddy" and Karen O'Connor placed third at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, won the individual gold medal at the Pan American Games, and assisted the U.S. team in bringing home a team gold medal as well. Measuring only 14.1 hands high and therefore qualifying as a pony rather than a horse, the chestnut gelding is an Arabian/Thoroughbred/Shetland cross. Karen O'Connor is sponsored by Kentucky Equine Research and Pennfield Feeds, a KER Team Member.
