Habonera, PRE Mare by World Champion Jalapeño
Look out trails, here we come! She is lovely, and training is going very well, especially considering all the rain days we've had.
Best,

Asteria De Mythos
"Asteria de Mythos [Conquistador XII x Emotiva LF] just turned 5. She’s maturing beautifully, and is nearly 16 hands now! Everyone comments on how gorgeous she is. She started her under saddle training in November.
Asteria is having her first show season this year (2026) at several triple rated dressage shows, in the open division. She is doing so well!
At the end of May, at her second show, she was the high point winner in the open division with a score of 70.69% at USEF Training Level, Test 2!!
At the Dressage Derby (June 19), she scored a 66.8% and today she scored a 68.793%. Two very good performances which earned her two blue ribbons.
Next day - Asteria scored her highest yet—71.6% on Training Level Test 3!! She looked amazing and performed so well. Really proud!!!

While searching for an Andalusian and trying to learn more about the breed, I found Susan’s website and Palomo. I called her (knowing next to nothing about PRE horses) and
she was so kind and patient and answered all my questions. She never made me feel rushed or like I was bothering her. She helped me orchestrate a meeting with Palomo out in Texas where he was with a dressage trainer. I flew out and rode him, and he was magnificent. Big, beautiful, powerful, gorgeous, sweet and goofy. After a couple of rides, I knew he was what I was looking for and we decided we wanted to purchase him.
" Susan was there to make sure everything was taken care of. From helping to navigate a unique contract, to training schedules, farrier, pre-purchase exams, talking about feed and hay (for the breed and in general), passing along great recommendations for supplements, recommending local vets and transporters, and even helping after we got him home with suggestions on getting him settled in (my first stallion). She was a wealth of knowledge and a bright light in this experience. Thank you, Susan! This wouldn’t have been possible without you!" - Dr Rebecca, N.C.

Hey there! I wanted to let you both know that Obi has settled in beautifully. As you can see from the photo, we have lots of green grass. He gets limited turn out on it just so he can adjust, but he really loves to graze! He is a true joy to ride, very sensitive to the seat and responsive. And he loves his baths! I’ve never seen a horse who loves to be groomed as much as he does. He is very spoiled, and he deserves every bit of it!
Thanks to you both for all your help in the process.

Definitely the one!
Very impressive. She is amazing.
We went to her stall and it was like she knew me.
Definitely the one!
I never say this... I have ridden and been around probably thousands of horses and this mare is a dream horse for me.
There is really some amazing quality here. Really more like what you find in a high profile barn in Spain
Thank so much again.

HAPPINESS COMES IN THREES
This filly, she is so amazing.
you did such a great job with putting Serena and Dante together.
Serena is one of the nicest mares I've had over the years of my breeding program, and this Dante filly is the nicest filly I have ever had.

So amazed by how much Val and I approved in just 3 Days of clinic with Conrad Schumacher.
Thanks a lot to Susan at Dressage Iberians for all her patience to find the right match for me. I know, I haven’t been an easy client. So impressed by how much effort and work he puts in from his side every day.
Couldn’t have found a better partner. ~ Dani Hunt

From "This is the Spanish Horse" written by Juan Llamas Perdigo…
"In the 17th century, referring to multi-kilometer races, William Cavendish said, "They were so much faster than all other horses known at that time that none was ever seen to come close to them, even in the many remarkable races that were run."
In 1831, horses at five years old were expected to be able to gallop, without changing pace, four or five leagues, about 12 to 15 miles (19 to 24 km). By 1925, the Portuguese military expected horses to "cover 40 km over uneven terrain at a minimum speed of 10 km/h, and to gallop a flat course of 8 km at a minimum speed of 800 metres per minute carrying a weight of at least 70 kg", and the Spanish military had similar standards."
