Well, when Americans talk about Shetlands, they *don't* mean our Thelwell variety - to Americans, those are British Shetlands

He was an awe inspiring little horse - I couldn't believe it when he was PTS.
Keren, if you're right about the American Shetland bit of his breeding it would make sense to me - could never quite get my head around the idea of what we regard as a Shetland as part of his breeding (unless it was accidental). |

Teddy was actually rumoured to be smaller than 14.0 because it caused a problem when he was short listed for the US Olympic team. Under FEI regulations, he had to be over 14.1 to compete at 3* events.
There are some wonderful videos of him on YouTube and is was a massive, massive loss when he had to be PTS. 
Karen and Teddy were magical to watch and they won so many hearts. |

The Shetland in there is American Shetland I believe - so a very different animal from what we think of! More like a Hackney pony.

Connemara x is very popular and successful - I wouldn't have thought you'd have needed Shetland in there.
