Trafalgar Square Books contest for Gallop to Freedom features 15 memorable minutes by phone with founding stars of Cavalia

North Pomfret, Vermont (Nov. 11, 2009) — If you had 15 minutes to talk with Magali Delgado and Frédéric Pignon, what would you want to say? Thanks to a novel contest that Trafalgar Square Books is running November 12 to December 16, 2009, you may win yourself such a personal chat, simply by purchasing a copy of their new release Gallop to Freedom: Training Horses with the Founding Stars of Cavalia from www.horseandriderbooks.com.

Every copy of Gallop to Freedom bought on www.horseandriderbooks.com counts as an entry (ie.10 copies=10 entries) and automatically puts you in the running to receive a live phone call from Magali and Frédéric, who will be calling you from France. The winning entry will be chosen on December 18, 2009 and notified via email and telephone before New Year’s Day.

And, the lucky winner’s name will be featured on the Gallop to Freedom web page, too.

Magali and Frédéric’s amazing abilities with liberty and dressage horses gained worldwide recognition on the stage of Cavalia, the acclaimed equestrian spectacular that they helped conceive and starred in for six years on tour. Since “retiring” from Cavalia, the couple has been home at the family farm in the South of France training horses and breeding more beautiful Lusitanos. Released on October 19, 2009, Gallop to Freedom soared to become the #1 horse book in all major categories on Amazon.com in its first week and has held that ranking since. (Sorry, no contest entries via Amazon.)

Date and time of the phone call from Magali and Frédéric to the winner will be decided according to authors’ and winner’s respective schedules–and time zones. Meantime, consider what you’d ask–would you want to discuss how their training philosophy applies to your own horse? Or, how Magali came to have her wedding dress designed by Jiki, who also designed Princess Caroline’s of Monaco!

Available at www.horseandriderbooks.com, major bookstores, select tack shops, and www.Amazon.com, Gallop to Freedom ($29.95 hc) presents a touching, mind-opening perspective on horses and life as Frédéric and Magali share the events, experiences, and the horses that shaped their training philosophy and the principles they embrace. The “Win-a-Phone-Call” contest is available only at www.horseandriderbooks.com.
