Stories about Horses

Stories about horses - rich threads woven into the tapestry of the
Andalusian Horse world.

The story of the Pure Spanish Horse, the history, the art.

Stories about Andalucia's horses, their valour, their riders. Stories of the Lusitanos of Portugal - the dancers of dreams.

The story that is Spain. The story that is Portugal.
Stories of the Iberian Horse.

Horses that will never be forgotten - those who became famous and those who were simply special to one person.

Tales of bonds between horse and rider - of intelligence and skill and fidelity.

Poetic visions of

a white horse
an Andalusian horse
the dream horse still to come.

Vaqueros and riders, breeders and modern-day owners - each has a story to tell.

Some are documented cases of fact.

Others have been painted in softer colours as the years have passed - but that just adds to their magic.

Imposing black Andalusian stallions. Graceful white Spanish mares.
The land that nurtures them and the people who treasure them.
