"You couldn't erase the traditions if you tried. They are a part of our collective experience. Even if thirty years from now people ask 'Who was Bertalan de Némethy?' they will still be doing things his way." - William Steinkraus "All horsemen will learn from reading this book. Ultimately, the horses themselves will benefit from this humane and thoughtful approach, giving them the confidence and freedom to do what we ask." - Joe Fargis "Mr. de Némethy represented the quintessential triumph of a generation of riders and instructors that possessed habituated excellence. He knew the classical tradition of the equestrian arts.... in his book, CLASSIC SHOW JUMPING: The de Némethy Method, he splendidly explains the basic tenants of his teachings." - Charles de Kunffy
Bertalan de Némethy began his career as an officer in the Hungarian Cavalry and as a member of the Hungarian Olympic Jumping Team. After World War II he emigrated to the United States, where he became the coach of the United States Equestrian Team, a post he held from 1955 to 1980.
