Here are Andrew Hoy and Master Monarch after their first-day dressage test at the 2006 Kentucky Rolex! They went on to win Rolex. Also, in 2006, Andrew Hoy won the Badminton Horse Trials on Moonfleet! Andrew Hoy was born in 1959 in New South Wales and has competed in 6 Olympics, including the 2004 Athens Games. He is married to Bettina Hoy, a German eventing competitor. Master Monarch was born in 1991 and he is 16.1 hh. In this photo, the audience just shouted, "Andrew! Andrew! Andrew! Oy! Oy! Oy!" It was a hoot. Not surprisingly, my two girls are related to this amazing creature.
