The amazing Andalusian! We are celebrating these horses as our February Breed of the Month and we recently asked our social media followers to share a photo of their favorite Andalusian or Andalusian cross for a chance to be featured in a gallery on YourDressage celebrating this beautiful breed! We will also be looking for stories from folks who love this breed.
Did you know that dressage riders who choose an Andalusian as their dressage mount are eligible for special awards through the Adequan®/USDF All-Breeds Awards program, as the International Andalusian & Lusitano Horse Association IALHA is a participating organization?
