I remember Stroller and Marion Coates. As girl you could run up to famous riders like David Broome, The Barker brothers and ask for their autographs. One of my favourite memories was getting to see very close up Stroller and had a lovely conversation Marion . I adored Stroller! I still have her autograph in my autograph book!! Thanks for the video.💚👍
I'm not quite old enough to remember seeing Stroller on the telly, but I read a lot about him in books and magazines when I was older. He was utterly amazing!
@@historicalhorses9816 I knew about him winning the Hickstead Derby, the Queen's Cup, and other big classes, and that he'd been to the Olympics, didn't know he won a medal, only knew he fell in the team comp.
Teddy, Theodore O'Connor, was Olympian Karen O'Connor's 14.1 and 3/4 hand international superstar chestnut pony gelding. He was part Shetland, Arabian, and Thoroughbred. He spooked a lot with all his hot blood, eventually resulting in leg injuries which led to his being put down aged 13.
Fantastic little pony very rare indeed as I remember Marian and Stroller back In the 60s. Thankyou for this memory🙏🏴
Very special pair indeed.
Such a wonderful pair together, again covered a lot on tv. Happy memories. Thank you another gem ❤
Just unbelievable scope from Stroller.
So enjoyed this Time to look up your others.
Thank you, I have eyed up another already ☺️

His talent was unreal, I never knew he’d been so successful.

That was the one I was thinking about. I didn’t realise he was pts at just 13 how sad.
The Derby course is the same now…!
My goodness well it is remarkable they won the Hickstead Derby.
A 14.2 hand pony jumped 6'8"??? Dang!
Absolutely crazy isn’t it! I did double check as it didn’t seem possible but he did.
Yes I remember it too it was AMAZING.
Well done. Subbed. Now going to @^@ YT for Marion and Stroller.
Thank you ☺️. Such a fantastic combo.
