Title: RIP Teddy View count: 976 Rating: 5.0 (23 ratings) Description: It is with great sadness that we must announce Theodore O'Connor - "Teddy" - was humanely euthanized today, May 28, 2008, after an injury sustained in an accident at the O'Connor farm. The injury consisted of a severe laceration to the hind leg which severed tendons and ligaments alike, and was a direct result from Teddy slipping after he spooked and bolted. Our staff attended to his needs, and Dr. A Kent Allen was there to exam the horse before it was determined that the injury was irrecoverable and impairing to Teddy's quality of life. This is a devastating loss for O'Connor Equestrian, and we appreciate all the prayers, support, thoughts, and sympathy during this difficult time. Condolences may be sent to Karen and David O'Connor, Teddy's groom Max Corcoran, his breeder P.Wynn Norman, and the rest of his owners in the Theodore O'Connor Syndicate via email at teddy@oconnoreventteam.com. May 29, 2008 We want to thank you all so much for the encouragement shown through your heartfelt emails and postings about our beloved Teddy. We are so overwhelmed by the response of love and sympathy that the global equine community has displayed, and truly appreciate knowing such kindness in your words. Teddy was one of a kind. He was our bright light and Karen's best friend. It was such an honor to have been his rider and caregivers. We are really struggling at this difficult time, and reading your thoughts has helped so much. We just wanted to let you all know that, and to thank you! Karen, David, Max, and the entire O'Connor Event Team Tags: horse, passed, away, xc, dressage, show, jumping, theodore, o'connor, xredxdannix, xxsamxtitanxx, Author: XRedxDanniX |
