Charles de Kunffy
Born in Hungary, Charles rode from childhood, studying with the great Masters of his time.
He was trained with the strictest adherence to classical traditions based on scholarship
and a profound respect for the horse. Having escaped from Hungary to the USA during the
Soviet occupation, he graduated in Philosophy and Psychology at the University of California
at Berkeley and became an Associate Professor. Horsemanship remained his first love, and
he moved to training and judging, becoming an FEI judge (C).

numerous books and articles on equitation, and his teaching is internationally respected
for its clarity, insight and tremendous depth.
