Where We Have Been Seen

A ndalusians and Lusitanos are amazingly versatile! The IALHA is proud to share the accomplishments
and special events that our members are participating in, outside of our breed shows. The following
is a compilation of what some of our members wanted to share with All for this issue of The Iberian
Horse.

Supporting A Great Cause.

trip to the Trail Ride for Breast Cancer, which is
generously run by Debra Moore. The event takes
place in the Dufferin Forest in Ontario, Canada. So
far, the event has donated $133,000 to the Canadian
Breast Cancer Foundation, and the goal for this
year is to exceed $150,000. Region 3 member from
Ontario, Canada.

School Team Participation.

Makayla Kurfess, 15, riding Amuleto, an
18-year-old Andalusian gelding owned by
Isabella Grigorian. Makayla began riding
Amuleto in September of 2018 to train for
the Saddleseat and Western School League
(SWSL) 2018-2019 show season with her
school team, iLEAD Schools in Santa Clarita,
California. Makayla and Amuleto ride under
the training of La Vine Equestrian in Agua
Dulce, California.

Amuleto and Makayla earned the league’s

champion in the freshmen division in Sad-

dleseat and Western and the school cham-

pionship for the league. Though Makayla’s

and Amuleto’s time riding together has been

brief, they have developed a quick bond and

enjoy competing as a team. They also like to PHOTO CREDIT: JACOB COOPER AT J COOPER PRODUCTIONS
spend time together at the barn on trail rides

and exploring different disciplines. The two are not afraid to try disciplines that are not often considered for

Andalusians, yet they still take on the challenges and have fun while at it. This team has found that they are very

versatile together and will continue taking on new opportunities in the show ring and for fun.
