Dressage Principles Illuminated Expanded Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948717588)

Xenophon Press is pleased to present this softcover edition of what many followers of Charles de Kunffy consider to be their "bible." Since our publication of the collector's edition in 2021, riders and trainers alike have asked for a more portable version. This text is a favorite of riders and trainers alike and stands as a cornerstone of Charles' writings: to treat our horses with dignity, respect and kindness. This edition will be treasured and referred to often. The chapters are succinct, and cover essential topics that need to be embedded in the minds of riders and trainers.

We encourage you to read, and re-read the material, study the diagrams, photos, and method. I would like to thank Mary Fleishman sincerely for her valuable copy editing suggestions. For those of us fortunate enough to have studied and taught with Charles, this volume serves as a valuable reminder of his decades of dedicated pedagogy.
