Jenny Camp was a famous horse that competed in the sport of eventing. Jenny Camp is possibly the most famous US army-bred horse. Her sire, the Thoroughbred Gordon Russell, was well known for his jumping ability, although her dam was of unknown breeding (thought to be part-Thoroughbred, part-Standardbred). Gordon Russell also produced the 1952 bronze medal-winning jumper . She was poorly conformed, being short-gaited with upright front pasterns, but was found to be very brave and agile. Due to her small size, 15.3 hands (63 inches, 160 cm), she was first used as a polo pony; when her jumping prowess was discovered, she was sent to be part of the three-day team.
