Acerca del autor

Chris DeFilippis began his career with horses in North Salem, NY, where he studied horsemanship with Phil Ake, former Olympian in show jumping and internationally renowned instructor. DeFilippis' fascination with horses soon took him west to California, Oregon, and New Mexico, where he learned horse breaking and training techniques while employed on a working, ten thousand acre ranch outside of Taos, NM. He returned to Westchester County, NY in 1997, where he lives and works in Bedford, NY, as proprietor of Parsons Field Farm. He cares for and trains jumping, western pleasure, and gaited horses, among other disciplines, and has worked closely with Richard Gere, Ali McGraw, and Patrick Borgen, Chief of Breast Cancer Surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and their horses.
