“My emotional response has been shaped by one particular bond we shared: a tremendous love for horses...' said Irby of Queen Elizabeth II.
. But Marty Irby, an Alabama native and lobbyist for animal rights, says her passion for horses may go even deeper.
Irby quickly found himself immersed in an equestrian lifestyle, where he was frequently attending horse competitions, and even selling horses to big-name buyers, by the time he was a teenager. Through the years, he said grew more and more alarmed at some of the practices he noticed trainers using to maintain a highly manicured image.
There, Irby met renowned horse trainer Monty Roberts, who spent several years working for Queen Elizabeth II. “I ended up losing my business, having to file bankruptcy, getting divorced – it was like a country music song,” he said. “But I wouldn’t trade that for anything.” The bill bans doping in American horse racing and created a uniform national standard for all 50 states to follow.
Less than 20 people around the world have received the honor, which was only given out in 2020 and 2012. Irby was invited to Buckingham Palace to receive the award, but COVID halted the ceremony.
