FOUR BY FOUR
Andrew Hoy

Andrew Hoy has won three Olympic Golds, an Olympic Silver medal, Burghley Horse Trials and Badminton. He is also renowned for his excellent lecture demonstrations around the world and these DVDs are visual proof of their highly informative content.

In this two part series, Andrew explains and demonstrates with the help of others, the simplicity of his 'Four by Four' approach that has helped take him to the top of the sport of eventing.

• Part 1

Andrew rides two horses in this programme, the highly promising Swizzle In and a novice horse Moonfleet, who at the time had yet to compete but who went on to win Burghley and Badminton.

Andrew works both horses on the flat and schools over show jumps and cross country fences to demonstrate that the application of his 'Four by Four' philosophy is constant throughout the horse's career from Novice to Advanced.

• Part 2

Andrew now takes up the role of instructor and is joined by his wife Bettina, the 1997 European Champion. Together they assist two pupils who are in the early stages of their eventing careers. Andrew also works with Bettina as she rides Unsung Hero, an intermediate eventer, and deals with related distances and narrow fences. Later in the programme, Andrew and Bettina tackle a variety of cross country fences.

In all cases it is clear how the implementation of the 'Four by Four' method works, both on the flat and over fences.
