Jennie Brannigan’s talented international three-day event horse Cooper had an unfortunate accident during the show jumping phase of the Fair Hill International three-day event on October 18, 2009. The resulting injury required surgery on his tendon and a subsequent colic surgery. The goal is a full recovery, but the expenses for these procedures are daunting, and insurance will not cover everything.
Last year Jennie moved from California to Pennsylvania to work for Olympic rider Phillip Dutton. She and Cooper have an enviable record: in 2008 they won the American Eventing Championships (intermediate), claimed individual and team gold medals at the North American Junior and Young Rider Championships (CCI**), and Cooper was the U.S. Eventing Association Intermediate Horse of the Year.
In the spring of 2009 Cooper and Jennie represented the United States at the Bramham CCI*** in England. Cooper is a talented and charismatic horse and has launched Jennie’s career as a rider.
