(BEIJING, July 5) -- The Australian Olympic Committee has recently announced that Andrew Hoy, previously Australia's top equestrian contender, will not be attending the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

The Australian equestrian team for the Beijing Games is made up of the following 14 members.

Eventing: Clayton Fredericks

Lucinda Fredericks

Sonja Johnson

Megan Jones
