Equine Canada and the Canadian Equestrian Team extend our heartfelt condolences to Beth Underhill and to everyone at Beth Underhill Stables on the passing of Monopoly.

Born in 1979, Monopoly, a Hanoverian Thoroughbred cross gelding, was imported from New Zealand by the Ierullo family for their daughter, Skye. In 1989, Monopoly was sent to Terrance Millar for training and his student, Beth Underhill, became Monopoly’s rider the following season. The pair made their Canadian Equestrian Team debut in 1990 when they were members of Canada’s winning Nations’ Cup team at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, a feat they repeated in 1991 and 1992.

“Beth and Monopoly were crowd favourites for Canada and beyond,” said chef d’équipe, Terrance Millar. “Their many accomplishments inspired many young equestrians to pursue their dreams. Beth gave Monopoly many years of wonderful retirement that one could only wish for.”
