Hi
I have an Andalusian gelding named Arador el Viajero. He will be 2 in july. He is still mostly bay with grey flecks throughout, but he will grey as he matures. He is son of Don Marco and Infanta CV. He was born at Miraval Andalusians in Oregon. I will post more photos later. I am hoping to train him for dressage one day or liberty work and just enjoy him. He likes to play with an exercise ball, and likes to get into everything he can. :) I expect he will be close to 16 hands when he matures. He is the only full Andalusian in NL. I attended a clinic in NS where they have just recently started an Andalusian breeding farm. They had Johanna Beatie Batista come over from spain to give a Classical Dressage clinic. She will be back twice each year.

Hi Mary-Joe,
I think the Freisen is a gorgeous breed! I saw a lovely stallion doing a dressage clinic (about how to time a Kur) recently. He had an awesome temprament. I would love one! Are the Standardbreds you take care of, racing?, retired? They are sweet natured as well!!

Hi Amanda

HI Amanda

Andalusians and Lusitanos are that more expensive than a warmblood. They may be cheaper as they are not that popular in the Canada. I read your profile. I see you are into Standardbred horses. I am a guardian for Standardbred horses out in Halton region.

I believe Fresians count as a Baroque horse. I thought I had listed him as a Baroque horse.

I believe that there are some Fresian who with proper confirmation can do classical dressage. The majority of them are into classical dressage. I like fresians. I think they have very nice temparaments.

P.s as for the Fresian, although not of Iberian lineage and confirmation, is indeed beautiful...I am sure he can be trained Classical...

I would love to own an Andalusian or Lusitano. The cost of buying one is outside my financial limits.I have ridden Andalusians and a bullfighting horse in training, in Spain (I hate bullfights!!) and with Frank Grelo in the past.The movement of the breed is indeed active, beautiful to watch and ride! The iberian breeds have presence and are poetry and art in motion. Does any one own and train in Durham region or thereabouts? I would love to watch any Classical riding and training. I have a diploma for judging the confirmation of the breed from Spain's Juan Lamas Perdigo, the author of an informative conformation book. The breed is not that popular in Canada as in the USA and there have been a fair bit of breeding in North America that have changed some of the breeds quality and characteristics.

So, does anyone have tips on early training? This boy is busy, smart and dominant. He is quick on his feet and can really do anything. He unfortunately didn't get the handling as a foal-yearling that he would normally have done, as his owner lived thousands of miles away. We found it hard to keep his attention. He is still young for real work, but he is a joy to behold as he frolics about his aged mare nanny.
