“McGuigan is one of the easiest and trainable horses I
have ever ridden. His attitude to work and life is very
straightforward, with plenty of scope and stamina.”
~Jeannette Brakewell, rider, Individual World Silver and
Olympic Team Medallist
Louisianna Catahoula - Full sister to Theodore
O'Connor and also the rapidly advancing eventers
Foster's Bold Favorite and Theodore al Coda, as well as
our own stallion, Theodore II (Kevlar). "Cat" was broke to
drive by Larry Poulin for Vivian Creigh's ambitious
attempt at the Pony Driving World Championships. When
Vivian needed knee surgery, Cat came home and was
evented briefly by Karen O'Connor, placing third at her
first event at Rocking Horse Farm. Her 2010 and 2011
foals are spectacular athletes: quick, elegant and cocky!
