Andalusian Horse Association
Andalusian Horse Association - Rocky Mountains
The Rocky Mountain Iberian Horse Club
One of my dreams is to visit the Rocky Mountains, to see Colorado. It's just
something I've always wanted to do. So when Christina
Turissini contacted me about the RMIHC, I was more than happy to add this Association. I'm waiting for more
details, and (after I've finished in John-Denver-reminiscence-land) I'll keep this updated.
Find out more about Christina on our
personal links page
(I know the Rocky Mountains are part of the United States, but this is a human-page, not a distant directory: and right now I'm dreaming of Colorado.)
Eastern Region of the United States
The Eastern Region Andalusian Horse Club - a Regional club, with a logo that caught my attention:
Celebrating the Iberian Horse.
According to Ben Johnson, Show Director for this club, the Eastern Region includes
members all over the United States - and a few in Canada - but primarily up
and down the east coast and east of the Mississippi. Ben speaks
about the energy and diversity of the members - and of ERAHC's dedication to small owners and
breeders. Our club has a very "family" feel to it, and our annual show is as much a
family reunion as it is a great competition. We feel that to grow the
Andalusian breed in the USA, we need to focus strongly on the small folks,
and grow the breed at the grassroots level.
They have a clear long-term vision: Our mission is to promote
harmony and goodwill among the community of Iberian
Horses: Andalusians, Spanish, Portuguese, Spanish/Portuguese, and
cross-breds.. and ..to increase public
awareness of the
Iberian Horse, and the history and traditions of the breed. They do this
through an annual show, clinics, social events,
and a regular newsletter.
Andalusian Horse Association - Australasia
The Andalusian Horse Association of Australasia
Inc.
There are State Branches of the Association in all the States of Australia, excepting
only the Northern Territory. My correspondent here, Tasmanian e-friend
Elisabeth Cannell, tells me these branches are 'very active.' I like the picture
that conjures up - it sounds like the new world spark in the people there.
Since its foundation in 1973, the AHAA has maintained the stud books for
- the Pura Raza Española - pure Spanish Andalusian
- the Australian Andalusian
- the Partbred Andalusian
In 2004 a stud book commenced for the Pure Spanish/Portuguese bred horse -
a joint work of the AHAA and the Lusitano Horse Association of Australasia.
New Zealand
The National Spanish Horse Association of New
Zealand
A crisp and up-to-date website, looked after by Jackie Ockey who also acts as the stud book keeper.
Current president is Adriane Bryce, Matawhero Andalusians.
Jackie is another of those nice people I've encountered as we're building the
website. She replied to my e-mail in an open, friendly fashion, and had a relevant
comment:
"I have a very good farrier in NZ who also specialises in horses with foot problems.
My 4-year old is not shod, but everytime Robert comes to trim his feet, his levels
are checked as part of regular maintenance. The feet are so important and if
something is wrong here, then you can never attain the full beauty of the movement
which is possible with the Andalusian horses." Thanks Jackie - nice to have
farrier related input.
