This time of year is big for the sport of three-day eventing. The Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event recently wrapped up, and at the time of this posting, the Badminton Horse Trials are taking place in England. In celebration, we are featuring one of eventing’s superstar teams, 14.1 hand wonderpony Theodore O’Connor and his rider Karen O’Connor (no relation.)
Here’s Karen and the late, great Teddy on course at Rolex in 2007.

An absolute once in a lifetime amazing Little Man, thanks for sharing this with us.
Love that pony!
This is a great choice for video of the week. People said that he was amazing "even" though he was part Shetland. But looking at this I would say he was great "because" he had Shetland in him. You can see the pony determination in his demeanor. He was a smart and wily and willing to go to any extreme to prove his was the best!
