}} Elizabeth 'Beth' Underhill (born 5 September 1962), is a Canadian Equestrian Team athlete for show jumping. She owns and operates Beth Underhill Stables at Kingsgate in the community of Schomberg in King Township, Ontario. She was a commentator for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation during its coverage of the equestrian events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. ==Early life== Underhill was born to Jack and Joan Underhill in Georgetown, a community in Halton Hills. Her father died of a heart attack in 1980. In 2000, 20 years to the day of her father's death, her mother committed suicide. She started riding at a YMCA camp in Georgetown. In 1969, she was enrolled in the Toronto-North York Pony Club. One year during her youth, she skipped school with a friend to attend the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, where she "took some straw from Branch County's stall as a souvenir" that she still possesses. She was enrolled in a music program at the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM), where she sang and played piano. The RCM awarded her a silver medal for best Canadian vocalist in 1977. She discontinued the program later that year to focus on equestrianism, but has said that her music training led her to have a "much more confident, stronger attitude, not just in riding but in life as well". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beth Underhill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
