My Dancing White Horses

Biography & Memoir History Sport & Recreation

My Dancing White Horses by Alois Podhajsky recounts the spellbinding true story of the Spanish Riding School's wartime evacuation and the Lipizzaner stallions who danced their way to safety. This 1966 illustrated hardcover pairs vivid equestrian history with the author's own biography as the school's colonel, making it a cornerstone for lovers of horses, history, and animal memoirs.

Expect page after page of period photographs that capture the famed white horses mid-piaffe and airs above the ground, all wrapped in the original dust jacket. While the book shows honest age—edge foxing, a previous owner's neat inscription inside the front board, and occasional thumbing—the binding remains solid and every image is present and clear.

Collectors seeking a readable first English edition or riders hunting an inspiring true account will find this copy offers both narrative charm and shelf presence despite its cosmetic wear. A vintage treasure for any equestrian library.
