Judges, whether they be American or foreign, are going to look for a well conformed horse that is in top physical condition, groomed impeccably, and trained to present itself in a positive, 'look at me' manner. In the Andalusian halter division, outstanding conformation always has been and always will be a priority. Movement in the Andalusian horse is also very important, and as with any horse, a strong presence in the ring will catch a judge’s eye. If you have done all of the above and you present your horse in a quiet, professional manner you will definitely stand out. Remember one thing—there is no substitute for quality. In most cases at any level, the winning horse will be the horse that captures your heart and leaves a lasting impression.
