Still processing the loss of our dear friend.

He left so much for us to learn .. open your hearts and minds and follow his teachings - he was one of the irreplaceable masters that we must not forget 🙏

Although I am forever grateful to have the influence of other great masters, the influence of Charles was totally life changing ..he put me on a pathway that I wish to continue - for the sake of the horse 🙏

🙏

Classical dressage master Charles de Kunffy died April 14. He was born in 1936 in Hungary and was a member of the Austro-Hungarian nobility. He wrote seven books and many articles for the Journal of Equitation and Culture and has a lecture series online.

Charles has left us with so much - if you are interested in correct, horse friendly training then his books offer a wealth of knowledge.

I’ve started rereading them recently and they give so much inspiration for both riding and teaching.

I started attending clinics with Charles when I was around 16 - first as a spectator and then a few years later as a rider and continued up until his last visit in 2023. It was one of the best days of my life when I was offered a place on his clinic at the TTT - his clinics were always a mixture of theory and practice.

Theory is so important and in today’s fast paced world, it is so often overlooked as often people just wants to get on and ‘ride’. If you can get hold of any of his books then I highly recommend all !

It is our duty to now keep this knowledge alive 🙏

So very sad to receive news from Greg late last night.

There are no words that are sufficient to describe the loss of our dear friend, Charles de Kunffy.

There is just a lifetime of memories and learning that I hope will stay with us forever.

Charles truly encompassed one of his favourite sayings, ‘Equestrian life is a metaphor for a life lived well’

Charles taught not only how to train a horse ethically and correctly but also how to live one’s own life with grace, intelligence and dignity.

Charles was relentless in the hope that ‘ I can inspire in my readers the ‘right spirit’ toward horses and riding; that I can also add to their scholarship and foster their ‘right-mindedness’ toward the art of riding and toward their beloved horses’.

He was exceptional and totally irreplaceable.

Rest in peace dear Charles, I thank you every day for all that you taught me and I know that your teachings will help our beloved equine friends for an eternity 🙏
