Hi Dawn I have been meaning to write to you this week. We have been having great fun as I took him to Trec training camp over Easter. The terrain was pretty rough as it was on the Long Mynd in Shropshire. It was a great discovery time as we realise that there is a great deal of trust between us. We passed wild pony herds with stallions within metres, as there was a drop off on one side and a fence on the other, with no issues what so ever. Riding in company and the other horse can canter… Erica and Domingo Read More

Would just Like to say a big thank you to Dawn and her team for helping me find my lovely boy! After loosing my horse of 9 years I wasn’t sure if I could buy another one, but after seeing ” Coronel” on your web site, I just had to come meet him. I fell in love literally when I set eyes on him, and the rest is just history. I now have him settling into his new home, and I spend as much time with him I can bonding together. I’m looking forward to the future now with him.… Rachel Coronel Read More

I have had horses for most of my life, but made the decision that it was time to finish. I had my last horse for sale on a website, by accident I found on the same website a horse advertised by Andalusian Horses Direct. As the yard was local, I could not resist a look, and I certainly do not regret the amazing find. I am sure that the horse managed to find me! Junquero has turned out to be exactly what I was sold, I have had him for three months now and he definitely is the best… Linda and Junquero Read More
Hi Dawn This is a very long time over due, but have been meaning to message you for a long time to say a massive THANK YOU! You helped us in our search for our best friend, Farruquito, in March 2015. He is a big part of our family and is quite fabulous (and he knows it!) I would like to say to anyone thinking of getting a horse from you to go for it! I would certainly come back to you if I decide to get another beautiful Andalusian. The care you took over finding my daughter and I… Joanna Ayres Farruqito Read More
"I would recommend Dawn to anyone wishing to buy their dream horse. I’m 55 and have had a number of ponies and horses over the years, but I am wowed by the Andalusians temperament. I googled Andalusians in a mad moment and Dawn’s website came up and I thought I’d love to just have a look, which is fatal - like looking at a litter of puppies and walking away! However I’m lucky that her yard in Bedfordshire is not too far from me and Louise showed me three possible horses - and the one that I was drawn to… Julie Reynolds Pinzon Read More
I have just taken delivery of the most honest amazing ‘dream’ horse I have ever had the pleasure to own in my entire life, all the way from Spain!! I bought “Desi” purely on her recommendation having never tried him first, I just saw pictures & video footage and that was it! I was in love! Dawn arranged vetting, transport everything. She kept us up to speed every step of the way. I have never bought a horse in this way before but Dawn was brilliant. Many thanks again for finding me my beautiful Spanish boy!! LOL Penny from Yorkshire… Penny Read More
Wow, where to start! I has been a long journey... and one I could not imagine to have been more smooth, comfortable, exciting and fun. All thanks to Dawn! I found Dawn when I searching online for Spanish horses. There are numerous websites and agents who have been specialised in finding your perfect Spanish/Iberian horse, and all promise the same excellent service. My choice to let Dawn help me out was based on how utterly safe and welcome she made me feel, and by how experienced and dedicated she was throughout - and yes, compared to 'the others’ out there,… Eva Virago Read More

Hi Dawn, I would just like to say I am very grateful to you for your non stop support and honesty all the way through the buying process. You have emailed me all day every day, answering my many questions and reassured me all the way through -even for the last week after he's arrived to help settle him in and support me. I know you truly love these horses and that's what makes the difference as you care what happens to them and want the best home possible. It's so nice to be able to buy a horse you've… Lucy Petherick Read More
There are not enough superlatives to describe Dawn. I contacted her after looking at several Spanish horses and not being able to find a suitable one. I emailed her and she replied within half an hour asking me to describe what I was looking for. She sent me several horses which fitted the brief but recommended one in particular called Kiovo. He was over budget but within minutes I decided he was the horse for me. Dawn sent me loads of videos and photos of him, plus a full vet report. I was a bit embarrassed to tell people I… Lisa Vaughan-Smith Read More
I had been considering buying an Andalusian filly for some time and had trawled the internet but realised it was a huge minefield, as there are so many horses available, from different breeders, agents and private sellers! Dawn’s website kept popping up and I did a bit of research into her customer’s reviews and testimonials and she seemed just the person to help me in my search. I contacted Dawn and she replied very promptly, we discussed my requirements and I spent many an evening mulling over the different fillies she sent me: photos, videos and detailed information on each… Claire Hughes Read More
I would like to thank Dawn and Louise for introducing me to Romantico, a lovely gentle stallion who is the perfect confidence giver. I was surprised when Dawn suggested him after a long phone call but when I met and rode him I felt my confidence build. Louise was extremely supportive during my 3 visits to the yard in England when nothing was too much trouble. The whole buying process was very smooth and Dawn and Louise even found a stable at Manor Farm Liveries where Romantico was looked after by the very capable Vicky, post castration. Louise came to… Wendy Partridge Read More
When I decided early this year that it was time to look for a younger dressage horse, there was no question in my mind that it had to be an Iberian stallion, either Lusitano or Andalusian. I have had Lusitano stallions for years and I love their character, looks and movements. After some research on the internet, I found myself hooked on Dawn’s website. The descriptions, pictures and especially videos are really helpful to narrow down the choices. When I emailed Dawn, she responded immediately with detailed answers to all my questions. I much appreciated her honesty in telling me… Eveline Fischer Read More
So how on earth do you buy a spanish horse when you've no contacts over there, no idea where to look and can't speak a word of spanish ? Faced with this dilemma I soon realised I would need to go through one of the agencies on the internet. I found myself viewing Dawns website frequently as it was easy to navigate and gave helpful information on the horses advertised. When a 3 year old black stallion called Fatuo HS came on the website I was so drawn to him I overcame my initial qualms and emailed Dawn for information.… Paula & Fatuo Read More
Dear Dawn Thank you so much for all of your help and support in my quest of fulfilling my childhood dream to own an Andalusian horse. You have been so patient and knowledgable with answering my many questions. Nothing was too much bother for you. And thank you to Louise at the stables in the UK. She also knows her stuff! Louise introduced me to Tenor, a lovely gentle gelding who ticked all of the boxes for me. Believe me, there were an awful lot of boxes to tick!! But Dawn and Louise ensured Tenor meets and exceeds my expectations.… Melissa Oliver Read More
Dear Dawn, It has been two weeks since Capitan has entered our lives and everyday I say a silent prayer of thanks to you. Losing Kelly's beloved horse Niles had been a devastating time for her and we honestly never thought she would open her heart to another horse as she has to Capitan. Capitan is nothing short of a miracle. He is affectionate, kind, trusting, loving and of corse beautiful. Just as you said he would be. Many family and friends have questioned us about the process and "leap of faith" to purchase a horse sight unseen let alone… Kathy Watson Read More
