Purchased from Queenswood Stables as a three year old, “Teddy” was Briannon's first horse and competitive partner. Paired together from 2001 through to the fall of 2005, they progressed through the levels, beginning at Training Level (then Basic 1) and eventually entering the FEI ring in their final season together. Countless Championships, High Points and Awards were won along the way including the distinction of being the top ranking FEI Juniors at the 2005 Ontario Dressage Championships.

Most importantly, Teddy was a remarkable friend. He and Bruannon were just as at home in the dressage ring as they were roaring around a cross country course or galloping around the fields with nothing but a halter and lead rope. He was the spark that lit the fire, and we will be forever grateful.

Teddy was sold in 2005 to Lise Hopkins of Navan, Ontario, where he remained until the spring of 2010. He is now under ownership of Karen MacGillivray! Karen is looking forward to learning from such a kind schoolmaster! We can't wait to see the strides that they are sure to make together. What a great match!!
