'Bertalan de N�methy (February 24, 1911 January 16, 2002) was a cavalry officer in Hungary and later became the show jumping coach for the United States Equestrian Team. He was influential in developing riding and training methods used by show jumpers today.In 1952 he moved to Far Hills, New Jersey, and began teaching at Sleepy Hollow Country Club in Briarcliff Manor, New York. He later designed jumping courses for horse shows held in the region. In 1955, on the advice of William Steinkraus and Arthur McCashin, de N�methy was asked by the United States Equestrian Team to become the coach for the jumping team. [2] De N�methy accepted the position, holding it until 1980. During this time he trained famous competitors in the sport, including George H. Morris, Joe Fargis, Frank Chapot, Kathy Kusner, Leslie Burr, Conrad Homfeld, Michael Matz, Melanie Smith, Neal Shapiro, and William Steinkraus. He based his training on dressage work, jumping grids, and longeing, all of which was published in his classic book The de N�methy Method. While he was their coach, the US Show Jumping Team won the team silver at the 1960 and 1972 Olympics, the 1968 individual gold, and the 1972 individual bronze. Additionally, all four riders on the 1984 gold medal-winning team had been trained by de N�methy. His teams won the team gold medal at the Pan American Games in 1959, 1963, 1975, and 1979. His teams won 71 out of the 144 Nations Cups in which they competed, as well as the FEI President's Trophy in 1966 and 1968. His riders individually won 72 International Grand Prixs and more than 400 international classes. After coaching the US Team, de N�methy was sought after as a course designer. He was inducted into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 1987. Excellent reference book for all interested in dressage and training hunters and jumpers. Appendix.

About this title

Synopsis

Bertalan de N�methy became a legendary figure as coach of the United States Equestrian Team show-jumping squad. During his twenty-five year tenure, he led the team to sustained international triumph in 6 Olympics, 5 Pan American Games, 4 World Championships, and countless international horse shows. Teams coached by de N�methy scored victories in 144 Nations Cups, while his individual riders won no fewer than 72 international Grand Prix, 44 Championships, and hundreds of individual classes all over the world.

De N�methy formulated his own training techniques of horse and rider based on his Hungarian Cavalry School background and the principles of classical equitation. From this evolved the celebrated “de N�methy style,” the precision and elegance of which are emulated throughout the world today.

Classic Show Jumping: The de Nemethy Method is an exposition of this gold-medal technique, illustrated with more than 100 photographs of riders and horses that Bertalan de N�methy has personally trained. Covering all aspects of horsemanship, it is the only book to detail de N�methy's proven method for training world-class jumpers.

Classic Show Jumping: The de N�methy Methodincludes: basic principles of equitation; longe line techniques; the basic training of a horse; modern cavalletti and gymnastic systems; competing over courses; plus much, much more. The material is presented clearly, with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Every level of rider—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—can benefit from Bertalan de N�methy's genius as a trainer and teacher.

Review

"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 N�methy?' 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 N�methy 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 N�methy Method, he splendidly explains the basic tenants of his teachings." - Charles de Kunffy
