The Chronicle of the Horse had a lovely update on Karen O’Connor yesterday. Since her accident at Morven last year, Karen hasn’t ruled out a return to eventing, but she is also considering competing in the jumper ring.
From COTH:
In partnership with her mother, Joanne Lende, O’Connor recently purchased Correndo, a 6-year-old Holsteiner stallion (Corrado I—Ondra IV, Contender) that Marilyn Little will campaign in the show jumping ring.
Little found the gray in Europe, where he’d shown to the 1.30-meter level.
“She found him and really loved him from the first jump,” said O’Connor, The Plains, Va. “She offered him to us as a horse [for her] to produce as a jumper. It’s a really fun thing for us to do, and we’re very excited about it. He’s got huge scope with a great style in his jumping. He’s easy to work with and easy to be around—a great personality.”
O’Connor is also on the hunt for a show jumper of her own.
