school career. His talent attracted the attention of several colleges, including Butler University where he eventually landed with a full-ride scholarship. "Butler was the best fit for what I wanted to do," said Hirschy. "I was a shooting guard and started during my senior year and was the smallest guy on the team. My graduating class had the most wins in the history of Butler during the four years we were there. Since then, they have obviously done better. They were just starting to get good when I graduated." Hirschy excelled in his studies as well, graduating with a pharmacy degree from Butler and then moved to Purdue for his veterinary degree. Upon graduation, he began working for Dr. Keith Hollendonner at Hoosier Park, a post he held for two and one-half years. "I just decided at that time I wanted to pursue other options," said Hirschy. "I went back and became a pharmacist at CVS in the Indianapolis area and worked there for two years before coming back as a veterinarian." Hirschy and his wife, Mia, who is also a pharmacist, relocated to the Greenfield area

But he still makes the occasional trip to town when it’s Joe and wife Alma alone, or will take the couple's oldest daughters on short jaunts. “I’ve worked with him long enough to know what he needs,” Joe said of the horse that clearly reigns as “king” of the Miller fields.
