In 1981 I first set eyes on this majestic breed.  It was love at first sight.  Later that same year I had the pleasure of riding an Andalusian stallion named Majorio.  It took my breath away!  I owned an Arabian-Quarter Horse mare named Princess Brandy Lee.  In 1982 I bred her to Majorio.  The result was a beautiful filly I named Madrugada DF.

Back then part-bred Andalusians were few and far between.  There were not any classes at the IALHA shows for them.  So I took her to the local open shows and had a blast showing her.  No one could figure out what breed she was.  I was a young teenager then and now as an adult I can finally pursue my passion.

In 2002 my dream of owning a purebred Andalusian became reality.  It has been one of the most wonderful and rewarding experiences of my life.  I would not change it for the world!  Thank you Barbara Berquist for making my dream come true!
