Item Description
Theodore O’Connor History in the Making Thoroughbred Sportpony. Model # 1330. Nicknamed "Teddy," Theodore O'Connor was 14.1 3/4 hands (57.75 inches, 147 cm) pony who competed internationally at the highest level of eventing. Ridden by Olympian Karen O'Connor, he performed exceedingly well at such events as the Rolex Kentucky Three Day and the Pan American Games. His success and small stature earned him the nickname "Super Pony." Theodore O'Connor was out of Chelsea's Melody, a mare of half Thoroughbred, one-quarter Arabian, and on-quarter Shetland Pony breeding. The sire of Chelsea's Melody was a racing Thoroughbred by the name of Honest Turn, a great-grandson of Thoroughbred racing's 1957 Horse of the Year, Bold Ruler.
Breyer® models begin as beautiful horse sculptures created by leading equine artists that are then cast into a copper and steel mold. Each model is created one at a time from the original mold, which is injected with a special resin selected by Breyer for its ability to capture the depth of detail, delicate feel and richness of color in our models. Once the model is molded, Breyer’s artisans take over, and the handwork begins. Each individual Breyer® model is prepped and finished by hand and then turned over to the painting department for hand painting (with airbrushes) and detailing (with paint brushes). In all, some 20 artisans work on each individual model horse, creating an exquisite hand-made model horse that is as individual as the horse that inspired it.
