Tokyo Paralympic Games reserve
ANDALUKA ELEGIDO 'Eddy' is undoubtedly one of the most decorated performed Spanish horses in Australasia. At the end of 2021, ANDALUKA ELEGIDO was retired sound, healthy and happy after 12 years of competition partnership with Victoria - his only rider, a beautiful partnership recognized worldwide. They retired as a combination after achieving one of their most impressive credentials - the only reserve combination to be selected for the Australian Para Equestrian Team for the Tokyo Paralympic Games.
History was made
During their 12 year partnership, Victoria and ANDALUKA ELEGIDO were selected numerous times on a team of 4 to represent Australia at CPEDI international events.
At an Australian qualifier for the Rio Paralympic Games 2016, the team Victoria and ANDALUKA ELEGIDO were part of achieving the highest score in history for an Australian Para Equestrian team.
Australia Day Hall of Fame
Australia Day 2019 ANDALUKA ELEGIDO was inducted into the Shoalhaven Sporting Hall of Fame as an Elite Sporting Animal. Recognized for his outstanding achievements, ANDALUKA ELEGIDO will forever be among some of the most significant Australian sporting animals, from Olympic medalists to Melbourne Cup winners.
From the beginning
After just ten months under saddle, Victoria and ANDALUKA ELEGIDO were selected on the Australian High Performance Para Equestrian Squad - a first in history for any Spanish horse; they held their position on the squad from 2013 until late 2021 when Victoria announced his retirement.
ANDALUKA ELEGIDO has an impressive list of credentials in para dressage. He was also highly successful in open dressage, campaigning up to official medium at state and national levels. He was shown in hand and under saddle at national and state championship breed events, winning many supreme and champion titles. In addition, he achieved his AHAA Working Roll of Merit in less than a year.
True Spanish type
During the 2012 revision, the visiting Spanish delegate described ANDALUKA ELEGIDO as a Spanish stallion of great movement, proper Spanish type and significantly within the breed morphology'.
ANDALUKA ELEGIDO is a lovely moving stallion with correct mechanics and superior hock action. His walk is excellent and above average for the breed, scoring 8s and 9s internationally. The trot has a beautiful rhythm, with a lovely expression that matches in front and behind. The canter is well balanced and light-footed. ANDALUKA ELEGIDO has excellent athletic confirmation with a super shoulder, gorgeous neck set and a stunning head profile.
ANDALUKA ELEGIDO is related to the Olympic and WEG Spanish team member FUEGO DE CARDENAS via the Yeguada Militar stallion MALUSO.
A Comedian - horse of a lifetime - a best friend
ANDALUKA ELEGIDO has a huge personality and loves to chat with Victoria! You will hear him whining to catch her attention at home or talking while tacking up, grooming or his favourite after rides. As Victoria explains, 'Eddy is my best friend, my world and a horse of a lifetime.'
At competitions, ANDALUKA ELEGIDO was a lot of fun! A natural-born comedian, he kept us all entertained; we truly believed he loved competitions for the electric atmospheres, socializing, attention, posing for photos and probably his favourite was going for walks and picks of grass with Michael. ANDALUKA ELEGIDO certainly drew attention wherever he went and was a favourite with FEI officials for all the right reasons - by the way, he carried himself like a gentleman with such pride and the way he took care of Victoria.
Offspring
ANDALUKA ELEGIDO, to date, has not produced any offspring. Therefore, he has not been used as a breeding stallion or collected. The only reason - was we wanted to wait until after his competition career. We will be collecting from ANDALUKA ELEGIDO this 2022/2023 breeding season to check volume and motility; if suitable, we will offer limited doses of frozen semen and AI chilled collections to the public.
