History
Osiris was a 'home bred' foal, bred by inexperienced people with too much money on their hands. From day one, he was spoilt rotten, treated not like a horse but more like a pet dog. His breeders were irresponsible, never bothered teaching him manners and allowed him to do anything he liked because he was cute. They allowed him to demand scratches, ie, allowed him to posses behaviour that should never have been allowed such as backing up to people with his ears pinned. It was all fun and games until a not-so-little anymore yearling double-barrelled a visiting member of the family. Osiris spent a few years being passed around until he landed in Brylee's hands. He was backed three months ago and they have gone from there.

For a solid decade, Teddy was used in Show Jumping (up to 1.20m) and Eventing (up to 1m on XC), he was very good at what he did and was often placing in the top 5 in most outings, especially when he carted young rider around their first comp days. Ted enjoyed his work and was a special sort who could compete for the advanced riders yet pop around a cross rail course for this beginners, as he aged he lost the fire in his belly and became a lovely older gentleman, perfect for young or beginner riders who needed a nice gelding to give them their legs in the equine world.
