I am devastated at the loss of Teddy. He was the first famous horse besides Big Brown that I was really connected to. His accomplishments despite his size really inspired me, and he helped me realize that I want to event when I am old enough. He was born in the same year as me, too. I love Teddy, and I spread my condolences to the O’Connors and Max Corcoran.

We loved him and never in our whole entire life will we-or myself-ever forget the fights he fought and the paths he galloped to become America’s most beloved Super Pony. R.I.P Big Boy <3333333333

Teddy was truly a star. With a newspaper clipping of him and Karen winning the Pan Ams posted on my wall, he has inspired me to move my 14.2 hand “sport pony” from Prelim to Intermediate and paved the way for other miniature champions! His influence in the sport will not be forgotten!

I was so sad to hear about Teddy. I used to have a 14.1 hand chestnut gelding who also died tragically, and Teddy reminded me a lot of him. I can sympathize with the O’Connors, and I know what it’s like to lose the horse of a lifetime.

teddy was amazing because he showed the world that size has nothing to do, and that if you have enough heart, anything is possible. his example proves to the community that you do not need a fancy, giant warmblood. if a pony can be great, why not a rescue horse? why not a PMU foal? consolation to the O’connors on loosing a wonderful athlete and partner. he was a once in a lifetime type of horse.

Teddy is such a wonderful horse. I had just finished my SOL’s to find out this. THis is so horrable, i remeber watching him on TV flying over the jumps with such grace and wonder…It was amazing.

Saw Teddy at Rolex this year and he was an amazing “little man” with a huge heart! My condolences to the O’Connors and everyone who feels his loss.
