“On a visit to the Iberian Peninsula, I experienced the enchantment of the Andalusian Horse.  Unfortunately, upon my return, I could not locate a single one for sale in the United States.  My husband, William Tilley, also had a love for horses…the kind that are found under the hoods of fast cars, mainly Ferrari’s.  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 the Andalusian horse to the United States.”

“As a Christmas present from my husband Bill, I was presented with a dream come true…a two year old stallion, Bilbaino III, the son of the legendary Legionario III.  I was captivated with the charisma and the heart of this magnificent horse and have never owned another breed since.”

Being an avid antique carriage collector, favoring the carriages of the late 1800’s, Nadine opened a private museum in Los Angeles – The Tilley Carriage House – to showcase her exquisite collection.  It also houses memorabilia and art collected from many years of being in the show arena and her involvement with the Andalusian horse associations:

*IALHA
*USEF
*ADS
*FOUNDATION FOR THE PURE SPANISH HORSE
*USPRE

This fabulous vintage carriage collection is now a part of Nadine's residence at Fieldstone Farm. The completion of this extensive project took place in September of 2020. To view the new photographs of this one of a kind collection, go to the "Galleries" page and you will see The Carriage House."

Nadine and her husband Bill had the fabulous opportunity to put the Andalusian and Lusitano breed in the public eye indefinitely.  They provided a permanent endowment to the University of Southern California’s famous mascot, Traveler.  Now, as long as there is a “Traveler” he will be an Iberian warmblood and Tilley Andalusians is breeding for future USC Mascots.  Fieldstone Farm is now known as “The Home of Traveler”.
