Charles shaped the equestrian world for the better and will be very missed by horses and humans alike.

“It saved me emotionally and psychologically because I had to practice the virtues that horses teach you. And they teach you mercilessly to be all those things: brave, generous, empathetic, patient, disciplined. They raised me.” -Charles de Kunffy

USDF is saddened to learn of the passing of classical dressage master Charles de Kunffy. In recognition of his contributions to the development and promotion of classical dressage in the US, he was bestowed USDF’s highest honor in 2013 when he was inducted into the Roemer Foundation/USDF Hall of Fame.

The Chronicle Of The Horse has reprinted an article about his fascinating life, from surviving both a N**i occupation and Soviet occupation in his home country of Hungary, to becoming one of the most eloquent ambassadors of dressage as a lifelong educator and charismatic instructor.
