If anybody is thinking of buying an Andalusian, and is wondering how they will adapt to a new climate and lifestyle, do not worry. Ventolera has become an honorary Welsh Cob, goes out in the field all day, loves her horsey friends and a good roll in the mud! Although she finds windy days exciting, she will ride out in any weather and we have been down the centre line in rain, hail and thunder. You can guarantee the weather will be performing one of the above everytime I book a lesson! Whereas we won't be preparing for the next… Elizebeth Ventolera Read More
I feel very lucky to have found Dawn in the search for my perfect horse and new best friend. Not only was she professional in every respect, she was also friendly, informative, and a pleasure to know and work with. She understood exactly what I was looking for in a horse, and she matched me with several potential geldings. She assisted me in planning a trip to Spain, arranging for visits to yards complete with drivers. I think she knew from the start which one I'd fall for, and she was right! I immediately loved Regaton (Reggie) within minutes of… Bev & Regaton Read More
Grateful thanks to Dawn for finding me Iggy. I am so very lucky to have found Dawn who has been exemplary in her dealings with me and through her to have found the most lovely boy to partner me in my equestrian activities. I believe that Dawn has a natural talent for understanding the rider's needs and then being able to match them to the right horse. Quite invaluable if you are unable or don't want to make the trip to Spain. I told her what I was hoping  for in a horse then put my trust in her judgment… Diana & Igualado Read More
We bought a horse from Dawn at Andalusian Direct, I was first unsure of importing not being to familiar with this process at first but the first day I spoke to dawn she changed that.  I can not thank her enough because she listened to everything we was looking for my teenage daughter.  We also set the task we wanted a PRE/ CRUZADO not to big not to small type that could jump or have the potential and bless the guys they went out their comfort zone and got footage of the horse we had interest showing he was capable … Donna & Guapo Read More
To Dawn and her team, I can’t help but sing your praises to everyone I meet. Buying a horse is traumatic at the best of times, and buying one from abroad and not even seeing it, should be impossible. But your professional approach and genuine desire to match horse and rider is evident in every step of the process. The endless, needy and unsure messages you received from me, should have annoyed you, but instead you kindly and patiently handled every query and uncertainty with ease. Thank you so much for my beautiful boy, he is genuinely special and I… Tamsin & Beethoven Read More
My darling Enamorada and I would like to thank dawn from the bottom of our hearts! I couldn't be happier with my beautiful pre filly who travelled like a dream and has now completely relaxed into her new life and home here in Western Australia.I had never even considered importing a horse before but fell in love with Enamorada pt from Dawns amazing site. After an impromptu trip to Spain with everything arranged by Dawn, complete with accommodation at the stable where my girl was kept- the realization that I had to get this filly back to Australia hit me.… Lou & Enamorada Australia Read More
Hi Dawn, Hope below is okay l I purchased Norbre from Spain in July. All communications when through Dawn, she was so helpful and lovely. I had so many questions, some very stupid ones I'm sure but she couldn't of been more accommodating. There was never any pressure either. When I decided to go ahead I was given regularly updates and sent videos and photos of the vetting and Nobres journey to the UK. Nobre is everything i could have wanted and more and I’m already doing so much with him. Couldn’t recommend buying a Spanish horse through Dawn  anymore … Sophie & Nobre Read More
Hi Dawn, My family and I purchased a horse from you and just wanted to leave a review but can't find how to put it on so I thought I'd email it to you so you could maybe pop it on your website. "My family and I purchased Piropo from Dawn around April.   Every step was so easy and she made the transaction very smooth! We have always wanted a Spanish horse and we wouldn't trade him for the world.  Absolutely no regrets with buying through Dawn she was fantastic and brought us along with her every step of the… Jasmine and Piropo Read More
Hi Dawn I just wanted to say how overjoyed I am with my fabulous "Avi". I will admit I was a bit concerned about buying a horse without seeing him in person but he is everything I hoped for and more. You made the purchase process very easy and made yourself available for all my questions.  I wouldn't hesitate in recommending your services to anyone, I couldn't be happier, thank you so much for all your help and support. Kindest regards Angie Angela & Abogado Read More
If all businesses were run as efficiently as Dawn runs Andalusiandirect the world would be a happier place I have waited along time before writing a testimonial for the website, it has been 8 months since I accepted delivery of the beautiful Ventolera. But she was, and continues to be an absolute star  , exactly the Special Lady that Dawn and Leah described. She is the friendliest most affectionate mare I have ever owned and is completely unfazed by everything. She has proved to be brave in heavy traffic, hacked out alone from day one. I would advocate for the… Liz & Ventolera Read More
I first found Dawn on her website and contacted her about a horse that might be of interest, but a little small and a little out of my price range. We contacted eachother on WhatsApp, Dawn sent me videos, photos and vet checks of around 20/30 horses over the space of about 4 months. I was very fussy and kept saying no, Dawn was very patient with me and really wanted to help me find my perfect horse! I did see one I liked and actually said yes! But he sold very quickly and that was that then out of… Amy & Invasor Read More
Hi Dawn, Just a quick line to thank you and your team so much for helping the purchase of my fabulous new boy so easy. You were so quick and patient to respond to my many questions. Vetting videos were fab. Great communication the whole way through. The import process was made simple and painless by your guiding hand. The transportation company you used, Equine Travel Agency, were wonderful also. The horse arrived relaxed and very happy. Hasendado is a super boy, his temperament amazing and he’s settling into yard life quickly. I’ve waited a lifetime for a horse like… Steph & Hacendado Read More
Having previously owned a pre stallion for the first time..(Arabians have been my life) he was cheap,available and unbroken aged 11.At 65 and returning to live in Spain i decided that the horse I had was not the one I had always dreamt of owning.Luckily a friend fell in love with him and there he stays with her.I knew this was going to be my last horse having ridden since the age of 4 so this in mind Andalusian Horse Direct and Dawn was the place of source found on line which stood out above the rest!.You can look and search and investigate… Susan & Bucarito Read More

She answered all my questions - even the stupid ones! She was always patient and calm. Dawn is super helpful and provides an excellent service.  Thank you so much for all your help Dawn  Alex and Dante  Alex & Comandante Read More
Dear Dawn I cannot thank you enough for enabling me to buy Alboroto (Albi). He popped up on your website which I was only looking at as I wanted to see Spanish horses generally  at a time when I was looking for a horse and had said to myself, “never another young horse, never another grey horse and NEVER buy unseen”. I most certainly wasn’t intending to buy through you! However, I had been looking unsuccessfully in the UK and I just fell in love with Albi who was rising 4 years old, grey and in Spain when we couldn’t… Sally and Alborato Read More
I have never come across such exemplary customer service in my life before! I think Dawn’s secret is that she loves what she does and it shows! This was me buying my first horse….. on the internet, unridden and unseen. My stress levels should have been through the roof, but I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience! .....(ok maybe not the little bit of form filling but Dawn was so patient and supportive and dealt with any admin she possibly could at her end!) As for the horse I bought (Alondra)……. I have to pinch myself!......she is so beautiful inside and… Ann Marie & Alondra Read More
"I have been keeping a horse at an International dressage yard for many years and the time had come to find a new horse, as my old horse was ready to retire. The yard owner recommended Andalusians, as other clients had bought them for their sweet and easy nature, which was exactly what I was looking for. A Google search quickly found Dawn's business, Andalusian Horse Direct, and Dawn immediately started sending details of various horses. I would never normally contemplate buying a horse without seeing it and riding it, but coronavirus made that impossible, so I needed a lot… Jane Hugh & Nacional Read More
