  8. Lt.Colonel Geza vitez Hazslinszky-Krull von Hazslin (a.k.a. Geza von Hazslinszky) [1900-1981] was cavalry officer and also known as the director of the Spanish Ridingschool of Budapest. And as riding master of the Dutch Royal Court in The Hague from 1959 till his death in 1981.
    He was a Hungarian noble man with an military (cavalry) background. Due to his riding skills, he was sent to the Spanish Ridingschool in Vienna in the late 20'ies or beginning 30'ies. From this period the pictures, which Hanneke showed, come. He was an outstanding rider, not only a classical dressage rider, but also in jumping and eventing. In the inner circle it was said that he was even a far better rider than the famous Col. Podhajsky !
    At the end of WW2 he was captured by the Russian army (after a dramatic end of the Spanish Ridingschool Budapest) and stayed in detention for several years. After this period he was forced by the communists to become stable-boy in the Hungarian state stud Mezöhegyes. Fortunately he got the permission to be a riding teacher, and could spread around his enormous knowledge. Nevertheless, due to his former status (and his stubbornness) he was a danger to himself and his surrounding under communist circumstances...
    Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands took care of him, by organizing to bring him to Holland (on March 7, 1959 - just 50 years ago!) He became the official trainer of the Dutch Equestrian Federation. And beside this he became riding master at the Royal Stables in The Hague. All important dressage riders and judges of the fore last generation in Holland were influenced by his knowledge. His skills were the base of the success of Holland as a equestrian nation, in all disciplines.
    He died in The Hague in 1980, and was buried there also. He never returned to his beloved Hungary.

  12. Thank you for sharing the link to the Classical Riding Club.

    It set me off, yet again to see if I could find internet reference to the disbanded Bana Stud in Hungary where Ragyogo1's dam was rescued from & brought to the UK &/or more information other than her pedigree blood line chart from her Studbook ,,, & much to my suprise - I did - http://www.hedstrandslipizzaner.com/13.html

    12(2436) BANA SIGLAVY-9

    2356 Conversano Rita is Ragyogo1's G. G .dam - 1300 Siglavy Capriola VIII-7 is her grand sire on her dams side - I've noted other connections.

    Thank you also Atjan, for sharing your knowledge.

    If anyone has links &/or information about the closed Bana Stud in Hungary, I'd be most interested to learn more about it.

  13. No, unfortunately I did not meet him myself. But some of my riding teachers in my youth were his pupils. So perhaps you may say, that I was influenced by him indirectly !

    I was always interested in the history of Col.Hazslinszky. Not only in Holland, but also during my traveling for the Lipizzaners into Hungary, he always showed up during conversations about riding and Lipizzaners, somehow.
    I once planned to write a book about him, and therefore I gathered a lot of information, and interviewed several people. But at the same time, Mr. Jan Maiburg (also a Dutchman), did the same. Due to my obligations to the LIF I did not have much time to complete my project. And Mr Maiburg is progressing in his work, so I suppose we will have to wait for his book!

  15. Hazslinszky is not buried in Holland and neither in Hungary. He found his last resting place in Luzern ( Switzerland ) along his sister Ilonka and his brother in law Detlev Arendtschildt( director of the Bábolna stud from 1942-1944). In 1982 his ashes have been flown to Budapest. There has been a solemn requiem for him in a catholic church. All his Hungarian friends, admirers and family members were present there.
