Membership

There are so many great reasons to become an IALHA member!

If you’re passionate about Andalusian and Lusitano horses or their crosses, you owe it to yourself to become a member of the International Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association. You’ll be joining a vibrant and supportive community of horse owners, breeders, trainers, and enthusiasts who share your love for these magnificent breeds.Ā 

Aside from being able to connect with others who share your passion for Andalusians and Lusitanos, you will gain access to top breeders, farms, and trainers. There are opportunities to advertise and contribute to the promotion of the breed by marketing your horse, service, farm or business in a unique focused market.

Additionally, by joining the IALHA, you will be supporting the breeds and our mission by helping to fund important initiatives and breed promotion efforts. Your membership dues and participation in events help to sustain and grow the industry and ensure that Andalusian and Lusitano horses continue to be valued and celebrated.s
