A Taste of Andalucia - The Andalusian horse, known as the Pure Spanish Horse or Pura Raza Espanola, is a horse known through the centuries as the “Horse of Kings.” It is among the most beautiful, athletic, and noble of all horses and has made its name through history from warhorse to the horse of kings and royals, and now to the equitation and dressage world of today. El Samaritano Equestrian Center is home to the Royal Andalusian Riding School, where you will witness the beauty of these majestic horses. The Andalusians will be shown in hand, as well as ridden in a series of demonstrations to flamenco music to bring a “Taste of Andalucia” to life. During this presentation, Dr. Sorum will speak on the topic of equine kinesiology using a demonstration horse.
