The most recent one was Forego HOTY in 1974 & 1975 trained by Sherrill Ward and 1976 trained by Frank Whiteley. The other one I found was Henry of Navarre all the way back in 1894 trained by Byron McClelland and 1895 trained by John J. Hyland

Great research, Joanna, but just one hitch -- since the question specifies horses that were voted Horse of the Year honors, that leaves Henry of Navarre out as official voting didn't start until 1936. But a good spot on Henry of Navarre, even though his titles are by consensus of racing historians. He was a great one not much remembered today.
