1467 Cedric 2008 Gold Medal winning U.S. Show Jumper color: Grey recommended age: 8 and Up description: U.S. Equestrian Team show jumping rider Laura Kraut could have never predicted how a casual glance over her shoulder at a show in 2005 would lead to Olympic gold, but that's exactly how Laura discovered Cedric, a small (15.2 hands), talented and somewhat "zany" grey gelding that would show her - and the world - how he could fly over fences. In 2008, by the end of the Olympic qualifiers, Cedric had delivered clear rounds in 5 qualifiers earning a berth and anchoring the U.S. gold medal winning Olympic show jumping squad. The little horse with the big jump also earned a spot on the U.S. Show Jumping Team for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Cedric is a mighty little horse that wins medals as easily as people's hearts! |
