Summary: Countesses, Furiosos but don't forget the Tellingtons.
Comment: Virginia & Tex Johnson's account of the two Hungarian Countesses, Margit Sigray-Bessenyey, and Judith Gurkey and their passion to keep the Hungarian Furioso breed alive in the United States was reviting. Especially since both Bessenyey and Gurkey have long been role models for me.
I was able to twice visit the Bitteroot Stock Farm in the 1960's the book brought to life the depth of its history. Also, having ridden and known several of the horses in the book, Taszilo, Pallo, Brado and Niscak I can attest to their unique and magnificent qualities.
My only regret in the book is that the Johnsons, who knew well the "young woman and her husband in California who trained the Hungarians", choose to omit their names in the book. It was, in fact, Wentworth and Linda Tellington who had the Pacific Coast Equestrian Research Farm where I was a student. The absence of this detail was bothersome since the Tellington's brought much fame and recognition to the Hungarians Furiosos and racked up many of the competitive achievements that were listed in the book.
Otherwise, the history of the book was very comprehensive and a glorious story of what can be done if your passion burns bright enough.
