  1. All these photos, except the first one, are taken at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna! They were taken at the "Sommerreitschule" (outdoor arena) at the school. Haszlinsky has been a student at the school.

    This article has a lot of information about Lieutenant Colonel Vitéz Géza Hazslinszky-Krull von Hazslin and the Royal Hungarian Spanish Riding School of Budapest . There are several articles, the one about Hazslinszky is titled "The Forgotten Spanish Riding School" and starts on page 8.
    The other articles I have not read.

  8. The picture of descending of a steep hill was very typical for the education of a cavalry cadets in the beginning of the 20th century. The famous cavalry school in Italy (Commanded by Caprilli - known of his new way of body position with jumping), had quite a reputation for this kind of exercises. Col.Hazslinszky and his colleagues also went to Italy to learn these extremities. From this period that pictures come.

    The picture of the piaffe in front of the brick wall was taken in the outdoor arena of the Spanish Ridingschool in the Hofburg of Budapest (above the Danube, on the Buda-side) Last year I looked for remaining traces of this ridingschool in the Hofburg, but could only determine the location. Nothing remained after the huge demolition of spring 1945.

  10. Based on the article found on the net (and under another picture here aswell) and based on what it says on the photo, this is not Hazslinsky, but (probably) Hanthy, another founding rider of this school.

    The artticle (page 5): http://www.classicalriding.co.uk/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=123

    Great pics though, thanks for sharing. I was asking my (non-equestrian) friends from Budapest about this riding school years ago and noone had a clue what was I talking about! Sometimes it's worth waiting :))

  11. This is indeed captain Ladislaus Haidekker later called himself major Lászlo "von"Hanthy riding, He was not a noble man by birth and gave himself the tittle 'von'. He was suspended from the Hungarian SRS ( 1868 -1944) on the first of December 1943. This was due to some misbehaviour at the summer residence of the Regent Miklós Horthy in Gödollö. The last director was NOT Géza Emil Friges Hazslinszky Krull von Hazslin( 1900-1981) but his cousin Zoltán von Hazslinszky von Hazslin.(1907-1945), a hussar in the fourth Hadik regiment of the first Hungarian Honvéd. He rode in the Interbellum with Alois Podhajsky on the same equitation course as Alois Podhajsky Ladislaus Haidekke, Franz Ackerle and A.H. Lehmann did write together the book: -Die edlen Lipizzaner und die Spanische Reitschule -

  14. Hazslinszky had never a name card in his pocket, but only pictures of his memories from the SRS. He was at an equitation course in Vienna from the 15th of October 1930 until the 15th of October 1931. In the middle "Het zilveren paard" a medal for a special designed dressage test by him at Sankt George level for young riders. The test was approved by the FEI and did disappear in 1988 in Rotterdam at the CHIO from the program

  16. That's why I adore this blog! You get hold of information you wouldn't have had the possibility before! Thank you!

  17. Anytime with pleasure.. you are welcome. Is there more info about the position of Josipovich ( He was personal friends with Count van der Straten Ponhoz) within the SRS?

    Josipovich died in 1945 within a few hundred meters from the Hofburg . He was a victim of RAF bombing on Vienna at the time. Curd Jürgens( Walt Disney film ) and Josipovich did have about the same posture.And if you look at the film and compare the uniforms you do come close to Alfred Rosenberg ( A very bad nazi, who spoke to Podhajsky at the beginning of the film) .
