Hello Dawn I wanted to update you on the progress of Tintero (now called Tintin) since purchasing back in March/April 2013. When he arrived to the UK, in the lorry I remember thinking I hope that isn't my horse making all that noise and with relief found it wasn't him as he nervously but obediently came off the ramp. I felt a bit of relief at this point. I remember looking at him thinking oh he is small and skinny (but i was in a stables full of big Irish Drafts so in comparison ...) He had just under a… Laura Dobson Read More
Dawn and Roy transported my newly purchased 2 yr. old filly from Southern Spain to France this Summer. Dawn constantly kept in touch via text and Roy phoned from the transporter at regular intervals to let me know of their progress. They arrived exactly on schedule and the little filly was quiet, content and happy. She showed no signs of any stress upon arrival and was alert and bright. Thanks to a great team for a good job well done! Emily Lawton-Bradshaw Read More
I bought my horse Mafalda XI (Millie) in January 2012 as a rising 3 year old. She is now four and has blossomed into a beautiful little mare. I had never owned a spanish horse or a youngster befor I bought Millie so I really didnt know what to expect or how she would turn out. She is a cheeky character but an complete joy to ride, I could ride her all day she is so comfortable and responsive. I am now a PRE convert. Thank you Dawn for bringing Millie into my life. I hope we have many more happy years… Briony Bunch Read More
Dawn brought my horse Mulato to the UK from Southern Spain. At all times she was easy to contact and responded promptly to e mails and texts, even while travelling. She provided me with lots of really useful information from her wealth of experience with Spanish horses to help me acclimatise my horse on his arrival here, and I am very grateful for this. Mulato arrived in a relaxed and stress-free condition, considering the extent of his journey and has settled quickly. I am sure he recieved the best of care when travelling. I would recommend Dawn to anyone wanting… Alison Lovell Read More

I am currently in the process of buying my 'dream horse', Poseidon. Here is my experience, so far. After trying to find a horse myself in the UK with no luck and encountering numerous shady characters, I was recommended Dawn, amongst others, by a member of the BAPSH Facebook group. Dawn responded very quickly to my mail enquiry and straight away I felt a connection with her, she was professional but at the same time friendly, and I could tell that nothing was too much trouble so felt able to ask questions without feeling I was being a nuisance. I saw a horse on… Francesca Elsey Read More
I had the great fortune to find the PRE horse of my dreams, Herrador, through Dawn of Andalusians Direct and her colleague Rikki. They both responded promptly and were exceptionally professional throughout the entire process. Many fantastic horses are were available and well represented by accurate descriptions, photos and videos which made the initial screening process very easy. Dawn and Rikki also recommended some excellent horses for me in addition to the horses I had selected for preview. They helped arrange great accommodation in Malaga. Rikki met me at the airport and we spend two days trying the horses I… Mary Padilla Read More

Thankyou Dawn! Melissa Claudias Read More
Hi Dawn, Finally have a minute to put pen to paper. What can I say, Curro is everything it says on the box and more! From the moment I first saw his video I knew he had my name on and when I thought he had been sold I really lost interest in buying a new horse, but fate intervened and happily my boy was still for sale. Your welcome when I finally got to the UK from France to see him was great and you and Billie did everything to ensure that Currulao and I spent 4 days finding… Jane Parish Read More
After seeing the advert for my soon to be new mare Bella I went to meet Dawn. She was very helpful and honest about the little mares past and seemed to think I could give her the home she deserved. I'm pleased to say she is everything I wanted, sweet, kind, safe and seemingly full of character and was the double of my lead horse in Spain As I had moved to a new area and didn't have anywhere to keep her when I first bought her Dawn was kind enough to keep hold of her for me until I did, I… Etta Hargrave Read More
Capote GB or Max as he is known was purchased for me by Dawn. I was very specific in the type of horse I required and really did not think for one moment that all my requirements would be met...however they were. I cannot even begin to tell you how much happiness I get when I look out the window and see my beautiful boy looking back at me. Dawn spent a huge amount of time guiding me through the purchase, sending me numerous items of video footage and no question I threw at her was treated with anything other… Emma John Read More
Dawn thank you so much for all your hard work. You found my dream horse for me so quickly, You made it effortless for me. You answered all my emails and I’m sure there was 1000’s. I was very worried about importing from Spain, you here so much about scams etc but you put all my fears to rest at each step. The tack you ordered for me to fit Mistico is as good as you said. Its stunning. Mistico is better than expected. He is beautiful. Your transporter was wonderful too. I can and would Highly recommend you to… Trish & Mistico Read More
I originally emailed Dawn asking for her to keep her eyes open for a very specific size, type, age, sex and colour of horse, not wanting to buy one yet and expecting it to take a few months to find exactly what I was looking for. More or less the next day she emailed me with details of the perfect one! From the beginning Dawn was brilliant, from my endless inane questions, through vetting, transport, details of what to expect, right up to texts and phone calls when Relente was on his way, she took care of all my worries.… Teejay & Relente Read More
I cannot thank Dawn enough for everything she has done for me, from start to finish she has sent me pictures and videos of possible horses for me and given her honest opinion on all of them. She has answered every one of my many many e-mails, texts and phoncalls, without ever complaining that I am bothering her. She also never said anything about my very limited budget, just set out to find me the best horse possible with the money I had. I really felt that I would have got the same service from her if I was spending… Victoria Goodburn Read More
Many thanks for this lovely horse,i have had him just over a week now and he has settled well,.As you ride them different from the seat we are learning together, he is only 5 and is very safe. They only need a small amount of solid feed as dawn said and after getting in touch we have got it just right.He is going very dark and will be black by the end of winter, The type of horse you dream of owning and everyone thinks the same. Cars pass slowly just to have a good look as his main and… Jane Simmons Read More

Mine is a fairy story and Dawn is my Fairy Godmother! Having spent every spare hour I had on horse sale websites, driving miles to look at horses only to find them not as described, I got home from one such trip deflated. I made myself a cup of tea and to cheer myself up, I went into ‘Debbie-Land’ and Googled my dream horse! ‘Andalusian, grey (white), 15.1/ 15.2hh, gelding, bombproof…’ It came up with Chulo on Dawn’s website. Long story short, I bought this horse before my mug of tea went cold! I have never been so excited in… Deborah Hogg Read More
Greetings from Finland! :) I bought my first Iberian horse from Dawn about two moths ago. The distance between us didn´t make things difficult att all, as a matter a fact it was difficult for me really to realize I was in Finland, Dawn was in England and Rocco, my horse, was in Spain! I could get touch to Dawn when ever I needed, at any point it was not a problem to deal with foreigner intermediant. I never travelled to Spain to look at my horse, I trusted on Dawn on her words of Rocco and I couldn´t be… Katariina Laukkanen Read More
