 On a visit to the Iberian Peninsula in 1972, I experienced the enchantment of the Andalusian horse, but unfortunately I could not locate a single one for sale in the United States upon my return. My husband also loves horses - the kind that are found under the hood of fast cars, namely Ferrari's, and that fascination introduced us to Greg Garrison, a renowned collector of World Class one-of-a-  kind Ferrari's. As luck would have
it, Greg also was one of the first importers of Andalusians to the United
States and in 1980, I was presented a dream come true - a two year old
stallion Bibaino III, son of the legendary Legionario III - as
a Christmas present. I have never owned another breed since as I was
totally captivated with the charisma and heart of this magnificent breed. In 1997, I purchased a lovely facility in Hemet, California, which is located 90 miles from Los Angeles and I joined forces with the multi-talented Glenn Wilson, who is now the Ranch and Breeding Manager. Under Glenn's guidance and tutorage, we have successfully won numerous Regional and National titles, as well as High Point honors for our gifted and versatile horses. We have been extremely successful in the open show world, introducing the Andalusian to the Combined Driving, Pleasure Driving, and Antique Carriage Driving world, proving time and time again what a versatile and tractable horse the Andalusian can be. We recently welcomed Bill Deeney to our family as the new Head Trainer of Tilley Andalusians. Bill's addition to Tilley Andalusians has secured our future in the equestrian world, as Bill has the ingenuity and talent to carry on our Champion-producing reputation and winning ways. In 2004, my husband and I endowed Traveler, the mascot for the University of Southern California This is the most famous college mascot in the world and now this impressive mascot will forever be a horse of Andalusian bloodlines. Tilley Andalusians is now affectionately known as "The Home of Traveler". You can read more about Traveler and see photos on our USC Mascot page. Our introduction would not be complete without mentioning Amici BB and Xar Pei VO - our two stallions standing at Tilley Andalusians. Amici BB is a revised Pure Spanish grey Andalusian stallion and Xar Pei VO is an approved Portuguese palomino Lusitano stallion. You can visit our Stallions page to learn more about Amici and Xar Pei. ••• ••• |
