Bracket Battle of Event Horses: ROUND 1

After a weekend break, the Bracket Battle resumes today with the 3 vs 6 seeds from the O'Connor Region and the British Isles Region.  A major popularity contest is expected between Giltedge and Theodore O'Connor, though I would encourage you to judge them on their merit not just rabid fanaticism.  Across the pond, the successful stoic King William faces Murphy Himself and his crazy athleticism.  Vote for your favorite to send them on!  Sing your praises or grunt your grumbles in the comment section...noteworthy comments may be rewarded with extra votes toward a horse of your choice.

An anonymous commenter left a lovely note about Molokai, earning him an additional 10 votes.

Having had the luck to work a bit with Dorothy when I was a young rider, Molokai has to be one of the hungriest cross country horses I've ever seen go round -- just watching him gallop by, you could tell he just wanted to eat that course up. We used to walk courses and joke that something was a steady three stride, "or a Molokai two." Definitely gets my vote! Mo is one of a kind.

We kind of felt sorry for Kibah Tic Toc, so despite this insightful comment from retreadeventer, we decided not to award extra points to Charisma.  However, we'll publish it on the front page anyway:

I was up close to Charisma at the 1984 Olympics in LA and we, by we I mean the Australian chef, and his groom, and a few other Aussies standing around in the barn area shedrow, LAUGHED out loud at the denotation of 15.3 hands in the press handout. Why, he's not a lick over 15.2 and that with high heeled shoes on, someone said. Standing up next to him that was the truth and most of that withers. He had to have the stall guard reset lower for his stall. I do remember that. What a horse.

We really enjoy your stories and memories of these great horses, so please keep sharing them!


 
RESULTS FROM FRIDAY: 

Despite the 10 bonus votes, (7) Molokai could not overcome the greatness of (2)Eagle Lion, falling by the score of 154-75.  (2) Charisma completely smashed (7) Kibah Tic Toc in by far the most lopsided battle of the tournament, 226-5.


O'CONNOR REGION

3.  GILTEDGE

For most of his stellar career with David O'Connor, Giltedge suffered from the "always a bridesmaid, never the bride" syndrome.  He was a steady, successful horse in his own right, but "Tex" was a bit overshadowed by the glory of Custom Made and his flashy victories.  Finally, Tex achieved that elusive Big Win at Rolex in 2001.  Aside from that crowning moment, he was a constant presence on the US eventing team: Olympics in 1996 (team silver) and 2000 (team gold), WEG 1998 (team bronze) and 2002 (team gold).  He also won team gold and individual silver in the PanAm Games in 1999.  In 2002, he was named Horse of the Year by Chronicle of the Horse.   


vs


6.  THEODORE O'CONNOR

Inspiring pint-sized athletes everywhere, the "Super Pony" took the event world by storm during his tragically-brief career.  Eventually paired with Karen O'Connor, Teddy finished 9th at his first three-star in 2006 at Jersey Fresh.  The next year would see him dominate the US scene, winning the Fork CIC***, finishing 3rd at Rolex, and winning individual and team gold at the 2007 PanAms.  The Pony ended up 6th at Rolex in '08, was short-listed for the Olympic team, when an unfortunate accident resulted in fatal injury.  His short glimpse of greatness proved to all that "pony power" was a force to be reckoned with.  




BRITISH ISLES REGION


3.  KING WILLIAM

King William delivered Mary King her first of two Badminton wins in 1992.  That win sparked an run of 5 years that included 9th at the Barcelona Olympics, two British Open Championships, individual 4th at the '94 WEGs, 12th at the Atlanta Olympics, and during this stretch King William broke the record for the highest ever British Eventing points total.  As the story goes, King William was such a popular horse that a fan once addressed a letter to just "King William, Devon" and it reached the farm just fine.  King William was put down in 2002 due to a laceration on his hoof and pastern.

vs

6.  MURPHY HIMSELF

The athletic Murphy Himself began his eventing career with Ginny Leng, and the pair won Burghley in 1986.  Due to the gelding's strength on XC, Ginny decided to trade horses with Ian Stark in 1988 (for the horse Griffin), and Ian Rode Murphy Himself for the remainder of the horse's career.  With Ian, Murphy Himself delivered countless extraordinary XC rounds, completed Badminton multiple times including second in 1991, placed second at the Stockholm WEGs in 1990, and competed for the British Team in 1992 at the Barcelona Olympics.  Click here for a video including Murphy Himself.

I love Tex, always have, always will. But while all the other horses in your bracket got to finish their careers, Teddy, the one pony, quite possibly had his biggest days ahead of him. He was sound and ready to make history in the Olympic games. It's not sympathy that makes me vote for him--it's remembering how perfectly he flew around Rolex XC (I was there to see him) and recognizing what might have been.

That picture... its THAT PICTURE of Teddy that you posted that perfectly illustrates what a great athlete he was. Teddy is absolutely tiny compared to his teammates; just imagine how much more effort and determination it took for him to get around the same courses as horses a foot taller than he. I think that speaks volumes about how amazing he was.

I voted for Teddy for all the reasons Amanda and Kim gave, but I have to admit to more than a twinge of disappointment for Tex.....he, once again, has the bad luck to be the bridesmaid and overshadowed by his flashier competition. Hardly fair to a good horse.

Murphy Himself needs to win this entire bracket. Best. Event Horse. Ever.

I had the pleasure of trying out Teddy (real barn name, Con). And luckily, I didn't get him. He would have been slopping around my sorry butt at prelim. Instead fate would have it and I'm glad that I turned him down. BTW, at 5'4" and most of it in the upstairs department, I knew I would be hitting the deck a lot with him.
There was a girl riding him for me first, the regular rider wasn't riding him for some reason. Then she started jumping him. The girl, well, wasn't that secure and Teddy was starting to get pissed. And what would any good pony do? That infamous pony prop-and-drop! Dumped her butt. I loved it! Cheeky little guy.

Once again, Tex is overshadowed...and this time by a pony - who didn't have an entire career. I know this isn't Teddy's fault (trust me, I was at Brendan's when we got the call about his accident - we were all devastated), but still.....how can anyone seriously vote for a pony who never finished his career? It is all fine and good for us to "wonder" what Teddy would've went on to do, but the problem is that we don't KNOW how his career would've ended up.

Don't get me wrong. I loved the little superpony.

But career vs. career? The fact that little man has so many votes is simply "rabid fanaticism."

Poor Tex. Still the bridesmaid.

Poor Tex! Tailor was and still is my favorite from the O'Connor string, but Tex was a great competitor! He was talented and had a ton of heart...doesn't he deserve to not be the bridesmaid anymore?

I am the first to admit 'rabid fanaticism' but I'm sorry I just can't get past this.....
http://www.regardinghorses.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/theodore-o-connor-cross-country.jpg

that fence is twice the size he is!

I HAD to vote for Giltedge. 6 medals for the US team? How many horses win even one? It is not his fault that he was overshadowed and ended up on 2 Olympic teams with no chance of individual glory.

The pony will probably win because he was memorable and had a fan club, but as another poster noted above, Giltedge had an AMAZING career which few will equal.

Just a note, King William did not compete in the Athens (2004) Olympics. He competed in the Atlanta (1996) games.

what a joke. seriously people? you pick a pony that finished 3rd at rolex and won at the Pan Ams with no notable results before that over the horse that anchored the US team for almost a decade and WON rolex?

Call from the body, you must take heart problems. The left arm will be acids, hemp, and pain. Liver problems. Sleep easy at night leg cramps. Kidney problems occur. Sound will not get out, it will hoarse. Stomach problems occur. Migraine. PS: There are five internal organs




six, headache

So, why do people spend time and money, long-term rehabilitation, trigger point injections of steroids or pain medication, less than the effect, the mental torment more painful fact, the pain may be reflecting the position of internal organs problems, such as long-term the left neck and shoulder pain, mainly because the heart is located in the left side of the body, long-term increase in Firelight, or heart problems will naturally arise out of the blood block, there will be left of the neck or shoulder stiffness, pain, rotation is not flexible, or often used to stiff neck. . . To be extended to the left shoulder blade pain.
Similarly, the liver in the human right, as hyperactivity, anger rises, just mentioned the soreness will appear on the right side of the body. Sometimes the location will be run pain, unilateral changes by either side, because none of the long-term heart and liver to eliminate anger, driving down the fire, it will cause gastrointestinal motility disorders, and the shoulder that is reflective on both sides of the stomach.
If that approach can take advantage of every day, the anger and the toxin inside the body to drain the body to maintain blood smooth, natural elimination of pain problems!

whites yellow: the color is not clear if the whites of the eyes may be the liver, gall bladder out of the question. Bile is a yellow-green liquid, it is secreted from liver cells after storage in the gallbladder when the gallbladder or liver disorders, the bile will flow to the blood, so that whites yellowed. Fortunately, the bile to break down excess body fat, with full of bile in the short term no longer need to worry about weight!

mouth to tell you the password
six had white lips: lips and lower eyelids, as part of mucosa, skin very thin, so fully reflect the color of blood, which is the reason red lips. If your lip color lighter, red blood cells may be insufficient, the proposed change in diet, eat liver and tofu, thereby reducing the symptoms of anemia.
lips too red: Chunhongchibai also have a limit! If your lips are too red, the first trouble yourself to cheer, you are likely to be red for a Fever medicine will be divided into When the temperature increases, the body regulating function, cheeks and lips, tongue only partially red. Eat more fresh fruit, drink plenty of water, can help you resolve the excess body heat, so lip color back to normal.
mouth break: If you feel tingling in the mouth, swelling and even rupture, gastritis is likely to be an early warning. When the gastric mucosa in a fatigue state, will lead to heat, causing mouth irritation. Do not be afraid, 80% of early gastritis can be cured. Proposed meal to chew a few more to give the stomach a little time to fully absorb and digest food. Stomach temperature decreases, mouth swelling will soon disappear.
dry lips: lips, although the mucosa, but the biggest difference with the skin is no sweat. Want to sweat and regulate body temperature and the secretion of the lips, definitely Lips can not secrete oil, save water, need moisture from the mouth of mucus, mucus is low, easy to dry lips, will also weaken the resistance, bacteria and viruses just took the opportunity to invade. In addition to drink plenty of water to maintain adequate oral mucus, the proposed multi-gargle with salt water because salt is to promote the oral mucus generated a major driving force.
More than 60 percent When bacteria invade the gap between the teeth and gums, breeding will lead to gingivitis, give birth to hate the In addition, if oral hygiene is not complete, the formation of tartar food residue will also allow you to breath odor. Recommended a thorough cleaning your teeth.

six flutter tongue: tongue against the mirror, if quivering tongue, is likely to be nervous , signs of physical decline. Japanese medical experts in a study found that 70% of people are not aware of the early chatter, so that it is often too late. I suggest you adjust work schedules as soon as possible, do not stay up all night, proper diet, or soon will face the risk of nervous breakdown!
purple tongue: When the blood contains large amounts of waste, the body of water is in short supply, oxygen blood and oxygenated blood will be mixed together, making the blood vessels become purple. If in addition the tongue purple, you will feel stiff shoulders and low back pain, can only show you the body of toxins have been deposited too much! Light diet may wish to adhere to a week, doing a sauna, to keep the law, mild aerobic exercise, will soon be able to discharge toxins.
thick tongue: the tongue on the tongue as easily as tofu scrape, probably gastrointestinal dysfunction or overeating. If such a tongue have always been, the best to Gastroenterology, allow doctors to help you fall down stomach fire.
thin tongue: tongue dubious off, tongue color mottled uneven surface, this medicine is called South Korean physician experts pointed out that the people most likely allergies happen, especially in spring and autumn are more common.
tongue yellow: yellow fur flu virus is likely to be the signal! To keep warm, eat pumpkin, beef and other hot food, a cup of hot milk before going to sleep at night, it can form a protein film in the stomach, to prevent bacterial invasion.
pan-black tongue: tongue faint black body temperature is probably the reason! Body temperature is not necessarily a fever, strenuous exercise, can make fur angry black pan. A hot bath, do some soothing exercise, can reduce body temperature.

nose to tell you the password
nose six size: the size of the nose and respiratory status of a great relationship! Wide nose, aquiline nose, indicating the development of your respiratory organs, physiological structure good enough to breathe the air; but in polluted areas, you will be inhaling too much exhaust. If the nose petite, that your breathing function is weak, do not let you take the air where shortness of breath, chest tightness. To be 1-2 hours in the office, they should go to the corridor or the window five minutes breathing fresh air, to prevent the sudden lack of oxygen.
nose incitement: normal breathing when the nose incitement may be caused by lung capacity is too low! Do not take it lightly, vital capacity is too low to affect your normal metabolic function. Practice every day 5 minutes of abdominal breathing - breathing from the belly up, exhale tighten belly, and soon you will be able to raise a lot of lung capacity!
nose acne: acne appears on the nose, most of the digestive system a problem. More bananas, sweet potatoes like the food, to keep the digestive tract smooth, able to avoid indigestion.
red nose: nose suddenly red? Your liver is overloaded! Excessive drinking, the body to break down alcohol, the blood retention in the liver, resulting in vasodilation, will let you have a red nose, so control alcohol consumption is very important.

If allergic rhinitis is caused by nasal congestion, in addition may cause breathing difficulties, but also to lack of oxygen to the brain. Nasal respiratory mucosa function indicates your fragile, Japanese medical experts believe that this probably has a relationship with gastrointestinal dysfunction, do not patronize the clear

cheek to tell you the password
six red cheeks: I do not know when, cheek to climb two groups inexplicable This may be Western called If you are in addition to red cheeks, but also excessive sweating, frequent wheezing, it may be due to high fever caused by blood disorders. Wash a comfortable hot bath, eat two antipyretics, and then Mimi was sleep, soon eased, so that his face back to normal.
pale cheeks: anemia reflected in the lips, eyelids and cheeks pale inside, which is responsible for transporting oxygen in blood supply caused by hemoglobin. In addition, let the skin breathe weak functional decline, reduce the manufacturing function of melanin, also easily lead to pale cheeks. In addition to nutritional supplements, I suggest you do more jogging, walking, swimming, aerobic exercise, so as to ensure an adequate supply of oxygen.
wrinkles on the cheekbone: suddenly found on the skin at the cheekbones with a few more fine lines? May be due to liver dysfunction. If liver function can not purify the blood supply enough blood or oxygen, the blood will become turbid, abnormal blood circulation, body metabolism rate decreases, skin hypersensitivity, leading to small wrinkles appear. German health experts point out that, in addition to consulting a doctor, improve liver function and metabolic level, we must also avoid the sun, because the cheekbone of the skin is thinner, ultraviolet radiation can cause harm.
cheeks on both sides of acne: hormonal imbalance in the forehead, chin acne. If the cheeks on both sides of acne, we must first consider whether or not the reason is not completely clean. In addition, you may feel irritable, anxious life, due to excessive work pressure. Let's take a trip Tours to body to mind to put a fake!
cheek pores: increasing age, the body will gradually reduce sebum secretion, skin moisturizing ability began to decline, if when the body lacks a specific vitamin , the pores will be thick. The best solution is adequate intake of vitamin C, which contains collagen can improve the skin moisturizing, skin becomes elastic, the pores will also reduce. Foods rich in vitamin C, apples, celery, bananas and kiwi and so on.
cheek black: If you find his face black, you have to consider whether or not the kidney problems. Kidney function with a filter, can regulate the metabolism of the body of water. If, unfortunately, your kidneys filter function, will make long-term accumulation of waste in the body, as the dark black skin showing. The beginning of the performance in thinner parts of the skin pigmentation, will slowly spread to the surrounding. I suggest you try the three-day South Korean popular fruits and vegetables detoxification method: drink plenty of water, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid meat, your body will soon be able to discharge the waste deposited.

list of body parts work, do not sleep too late!
