Hi Dawn, Thank you so much for your support and patience in finding the beautiful Nuncio for me. You gave me so many suitable horses to choose from, and were always quick to respond to my questions. You certainly put the time in, weekends, bank holidays and late evenings. I feel privileged to own one of these beautiful horses and will do my best to give him a happy home. Thanks, Wendy Wendy & Nunico Read More

Thank you Dawn for your professional service. I decided to travel to Spain and the one-horse you suggested that would be most suited to me was my precious porteno.... I fell in love with him instantly. Nothing was too much trouble you sorted my time in Spain, the accommodation with Carola and Jan, viewing of all the horses at all the yards, paperwork, and transport. Porteno turned up in February in the snow, it has taken him a while to settle and I had to move yards. My precious Porteno is the most gorgeous boy. He is definitely the favourite… Tracy & Porteno Read More
Dear Dawn, Thank you so much for your help in purchasing the most perfect dancing partner. Sultan is proving to be everything that you said that he was. He is a total gentleman and exceptionally affectionate. You were amazing in every way through the process of my purchase of this perfect boy. I would recommend Dawn to anyone that is considering buying an Andalusian. Her honesty and support was 100%. Mel & Sultan Read More
Hello Dawn Just had to write and tell you that you have made my dream come true!!!!! My beautiful boy arrived and was all and more that you and your team had assured me he was. He travelled so well and settled in from the moment he walked into his new stable. I had nearly given up all hope of finally finding a new horse but then you sent me through lovely options and this boy now was just by chance. You were so patient with me and my chopping and changing. I will be in touch next year for… Laylah & Zepito Read More
Hello Dawn, just a little note to say thank you for all your help, support and patience with arrangements for the viewing, purchase and transport of my new horse, Candela. She has settled in beautifully with her new friends at Brills Farm and she was exactly as described - kind, easy-going and friendly. I can certainly recommend you to anyone looking to buy an Andalusian horse from Spain. You managed to make the process straight forward and hassle free, nothing was too much trouble, many thanks Joanna Xx Joanna and Candela Read More
I knew I wanted a Spanish horse this time round – always wanted one and this time I was adamant that’s what I’d get. I had looked around the UK for a while but sadly not found what I was looking for. Then I got drawn to Dawn’s website and the horses that were on it….. when I got in touch with Dawn to discuss, I was really impressed at how helpful Dawn was in making sure she knew everything about my needs and wants for a horse. I decided to go out to Spain for a break to incorporate… Samantha & Invasor Read More
I cannot thank Dawn enough for finding me such a kind and loving mare, she is absolutely incredible. Settling in very well and is everything I was told she was. I will admit I was a little unsure about buying from abroad but Dawn reassured me, sent me so many videos and pictures that I felt like I'd actually been to see her. Anything I asked, Dawn was there to answer and anything she didn't already know she got back to me after speaking to the owners. I had a 5 star vetting done which Dawn arranged and had it… Rachel and Malaguena Read More
I can't recommend Dawn enough. She took the time to send us lots of videos and pictures before we committed to buying my daughter's pony. We were offered a 5* vetting and all the paperwork/ transport was arranged for us, making the whole process hassle free. We've only had Apache for a short amount of time but my daughter has already competed and been placed in a local dressage competition and attended a camp where they hacked out, jumped bareback and jumped without reins. She's absolutely head over heels in love with her new pony and whilst they still have… Faye and Apache Read More
'A huge thankyou to Dawn for finding us the lovely Ileso. I was looking for something for my daughter to move on to after being successful at BYRDS and having ambitions to do more. Dawn showed me videos of several horses and from my feedback of what I was after told me about Ileso and thought he would suit us. We went to see him in Spain and looked at several others as well but Ileso was my favourite by far. Dawn was at the end of the phone at all times and made the vetting, purchase, castration and transport… Rachel Milly and Ileso Read More
Dawn Just a little note to say thank you so much for all your help with the purchase of my new best friend Codi He is a true gentleman with a lovely nature & is already settled in his new home with no problems at all. I can safely say he has melted my heart & is such a credit to his breed. I am so pleased & cannot thank you enough. Zoe x Zoe and Codicioso Read More
I recently purchased a horse through Dawn and i can't begin to tell you how thrilled i am with Taranto! I am a BD rider with a fair amount of competition experience up to Advanced Medium at regional and national level and i'm also a Dressage Trainer. I was looking for my next horse to be a move away from the warmbloods i'd had recently as i was looking for horse that was exceptionally trainable for dressage, not just with flashy paces. I was also looking for a tall horse as i am 5'11" myself! I have researched Andalusians for… Philippa and Taranto Read More
Dear Dawn Thank you so much for all your help in buying my lovely new horse Cantinero CXL. He is a credit to his breed and I am so very pleased with him. It was a pleasure to deal with you, nothing was too much trouble, and you made the whole process so simple and easy. I would certainly recommend you to anyone looking to buy a Andalusian horse. With kind regards Anne Anne & Cantinero Read More
I started riding horses in the summer of 2018 and was looking for my first horse that could also be part-donated as a therapy horse for an Autism charity. After a few false starts I came across the Spanish horse as a possible option. Andalusian Horse Direct came up in my searches and I have been very impressed by the service Dawn and her team have given. The team have been really helpful and gave lots of advice in the process. Tizon I have to admit was a wild card option but after riding him we fell in love with… Harry & Tizon Read More
'Having lost my nerve following a fall, and been sold a dud in the UK, I was ready to hang up my stirrups. Then I saw Perla. I spoke at length to Dawn, she listened to me and I duly bought Perla unseen. I fell for him on sight and, although he took a while to settle, Dawn helped me all the way and the advice I got was second to none. Perla is my horse of a lifetime and is a dream to own and ride. Dawn's expertise and care is second to none. She listens to what you… Carol and Perla Read More
I started to find a new horse as my previous one had be euthanized do to severe illness this summer after owning him only less than a year. I was a bit suspicious to buy a new one without seeing him before buying as I’ve had this sad experience in the past and I had been warned of dealers in southern Spain. I had browsed Dawn's pages quickly last year but now I started to go through horses closer. I found a few interesting horses and asked Dawn about them. She answered me quickly everytime and sent me photos, videos… Anna-Gin Dry Gal Read More
This is not my first horse from DAWN BIRKS but my second so I knew that what Dawn says she delivers. I contacted her about March time and asked her if she had a mare in within my price range which was below £5000 I didn’t hold much hope to be honest but Dawn came back to me with a 16-1 grey 13 year old mare. She sent me loads of photos and videos of her being ridden I loved her immediately and arranged to have her vetted and xrayed she passed with flying colours and I took delivery… Andrea & Guapa Read More
Having trialled several horses, I had come across the Spanish Horse breed, and, after research, found Dawn, of andalusianhorsedirect.com ... I cannot recommend Dawn highly enough. Returning to riding in my fifties, I knew I needed to put safety first, whilst really wishing to find an interesting, beautiful horse - not a kick along type. Dawn understood exactly the balance I sought and answered my endless questions. She is an expert on the Spanish Horse and I soon realised I could trust her implicitly. I now have the most lovely horse: beautiful, calm and intelligent. Dawn guided us through the… Coralie and Jazmin Read More
