Inez VW
Inez is a 2005 grey US National Champion Andalusian mare. She was purchased by Valhalla Andalusians in the spring of 2008 from Schuyler Van Woerden. She was immediately put into training with Warren Mather of Choice Show Horses. She was shown at the 2008 US Nationals where she won Reserve National Champion Andalusian Mare, All Ages, Amateur to Handle. She also placed Top Five (placed 3rd) in the National Champion Andalusian Jr Mare class and to her credit, she won the gold medal for movement against some very tough competition. Since returning home from Texas, Inez has become one of our top broodmares giving us 3 National Champion fillies and one gorgeous colt (Tigres) that was sold before he was shown. Inez has also been started under saddle this year and is proving to be a very talented mount with beautiful extensions that she gives very willingly and with great elevation. Inez gave us a full brother clone to VA Tigres del Norte for 2015 – VA Toledo (sold). In 2017 Inez had a stunning filly on a repeat breeding to Escamillo. Born on St. Patrick’s Day, VA Esmeralda has great elevation and suspension. She is currently on our sales list. In 2018 Inez gave us a fabulous filly by our stallion Norteno Rey MA – VA Elevado. With his knees above horizontal, Elevado has the best movement I have ever seen – comparable only to his grandfather – Escamillo.

Luz De Luna 2017
Luz De Luna is our 2017 ANCCE approved PRE Andalusian mare. She is 15.3 HH and has just the sweetest temperment. When she was revised by ANCCE she scored very high for her conformation but scored as over the top exceptional for her movement. The Spanish delegate said that Luna’s elevation and in particular her suspension was as good as she had ever seen on any mare EVER. Huge cudos. Luna entered our band of brood mares as a 3 year old and has outdone herself producing 2 stunning foals in 2022 and 2024 by two different sires. In 2022 she had a beautiful bay filly we’ve named VA Lola Amada de Luna. Lola is IALHA registered and is eligible to be registered with ANCCE. She was sired by our now sold black Andalusian stallion VA Manolete’s Hijo Amado. Luna’s 2024 PRE grey filly (by our current stallion Norteno) we’ve named VA Dinamica (Dynamic in English). Dinamica has movement like her mother’s – to absolutely die for. She has a beautiful short back and snaky neck – in other words – a gorgeous topline. She will be a show stopper for sure. Luna is a marvelous producer and is in foal for 2025.
VA Lola Amada De Luna
“Lola Amada De Luna” is our premium 2022 PRE/ANCCE Inscribed Bay Andalusian Filly. Full Luis Arenas bloodines on her top side, she was born in November so she is only now just 2 1/2 the pics and video. She is already 16.1 HH and still growing and has fantastic bone. She is very sweet and easy to work with and learns very quickly. Her sire is the black PRE/ANCCE approved Multi-National Champion stallion “VA Manolete’s Hijo Amado”. Lola’s dam, although not been shown, is an amazing mare in her own right scoring the top marks the Spanish delegate had ever given for an Andalusian mare for her movement. The Spanish delegate said that Luna’s elevation and in particular her suspension was the best she had ever seen on any mare EVER. Huge kudos. Lola has clearly inherited this stunning movement from both of her parents as Amado has pretty phenomenal movement too. Lola is IALHA registered and has been inscribed with ANCCE. What a stellar filly !!! She will be perfect for the decerning dressage rider who wants to move forward on an exceptional mare with huge potential. She will turn heads with her movement and conformation.
