The Ultimate Book By and About Podhajsky's Life with Horses,
By
This review is from: My Dancing White Horses, The Autobiography of Alois Podhajsky (Hardcover)
I enjoy all of Podhajsky's books but this one seems the most in-depth and has been very useful to me in researching what REALLY happened in May 1945 in St Martins. Great photos, too. This may be more than you want to know about the life and times of the once-director of the Spanish Riding School but it you are at all interested in the horse in the 20th century and want a European point of view, this book will meet your needs and then some. The explanation of how the School operated during World War II is told with honesty and without apology.

A Touching Historical Experience,

This review is from: My Dancing White Horses, The Autobiography of Alois Podhajsky (Hardcover)
This book reveals the fascinating story of Alois Podhajsky's extraordinary efforts to save the magnificent Lipizzaner horse of the Spanish Riding school during WWII. The book is a testament to one man's devotion to these horses and his willingness to make tremendous sacrifices and exert great effort to preserve the regal bred and an old classical institution along with it.
This is a book that any horse lover is bound to enjoy. J.B. Broussard
