Raves and Reviews

My privileged life is not just about foxhunting. It is a very personal memoir, full of ancestral pride and familial love, told in a vivid and engaging manner.

– New England Horse Talk

His (Thady Ryan) memoirs, fueled by his love of horses and hounds are more than an ode to hunting. They concern the importance of family, faith and sport, pride in one's work and play, dedication to the balance of nature, and a bottomless enthusiasm for living.

– In and Around Horse Country

"Derrydale Press published his deeply personal and charming autobiography, My Privileged Life, which has been enthusiastically received around the world."
