Equestrian Literature
cover The Ethics and Passions of Dressage

In this most thoughtful and thought-provoking book, the author calls for a dedication to the traditions of classical horsemanship.  Mr. de Kunffy takes the reader's mind for a lesson that embraces history, philosophy, art, nature and the ethics of horsemanship.  Almost poetic in writing style, the book pays tribute to non-confrontational horsemanship.  In this book, the author has shaped a pearl of equestrian wisdom that is destined to become a classic in equestrian literature.  Beautifully illustrated by pictures of great European equestrian art.
