Theodore O’Connor

Did anyone here see him in person at ROLEX? What an amazing pony!

Had first-hand report from someone who was there that there was 'polite applause' when #1 & #2 were announced, but the place erupted when Teddy was announced as #3.

Does anyone know if Teddy was at Jersey Fresh? We went to drop off magazines but were not able to stay and watch.

I have not seen Teddy in person but have followed along in his career. It is truely amazing but lets face it, Teddy just happens to be a short horse carrying very little pony genetics. However, I do think he will only help the pony industry, promoting ponies for adults and children. It would be nice to see a pony competing that truely is a pony, particularly Welsh since that is my favority pony breed.
