Early years


Andrew Hoy was born in Culcairn, NSW and spent his earlier years there. He started riding when only six-years-old. The rest of his life has been spent around horses. In 1978, he moved to England to train and now lives there.

Hoy participated in his first International Championships at the age of 19 where he represented Australia at the 1978 World Championships in Kentucky. A year later, he won his first CCI4* competition.[8]


Personal


Andrew and his ex-wife Bettina Hoy, who competed at the Olympic level for Germany, lived for 12 years in Gloucestershire, at the Gatcombe Park estate of The Princess Royal. The Hoys were the only married couple that has ever competed against each other in different teams for the same Olympic medals.[9] In January 2009, the couple moved to the DOKR (Deutsches Olympia Kommitee für Reiterei) in Warendorf, Germany. In June 2010 Andrew Hoy moved to Farley Estate in the UK, and then to Wiltshire. In November 2011, Bettina publicly announced their separation.[10] She handed her ride, Lanfranco TSF to her former husband, Andrew Hoy, under the terms of their divorce agreement.[11] In 2013, Hoy and partner Stefanie Strobl moved to Somerby, Leicestershire.[6] Hoy and Strobl have a daughter and son.[4]
