He was only 15.2 hands high.
Too small. Too stocky. Too American.
They said he’d never make it in Europe.

But Battleship — son of the legendary Man o’ War — didn’t care what they said.
He had the heart of a lion and fire in his legs.
And in 1938, he crossed the ocean to prove it.

🇬🇧 At Aintree, they laughed at him.
The Grand National was no place for a little American jumper.
It was the world’s toughest steeplechase — 4 miles, 30 fences, chaos on grass.

But Battleship didn’t just survive.
He soared. He fought.
And in a photo finish for the ages, he won it all.

🏆 The first American-bred, American-owned horse to ever win the Grand National.
A son of Man o’ War. A pocket rocket with a punch.

They called him “The American Pony.”
But after that day, they called him Champion🐎
