What type of driving do you want to do? Do you want
to go around in circles in an arena and show breed classes (They have a
1/2 Andalusian registry, and classes at the shows), or do you just want to drive
for fun, or compete in Carriage driving shows, CDE's and such? I've had
friends compete their pure Andalusians at CDE's.
I competed my former endurance horse at CDE's, and
he did pretty well. You will find more and more pure Arabs doing such events,
but in general, when you get them fit for endurance, having them go calm and
relaxed for the dressage portion was difficult.
If I was wanting to do dressage, endurance, and
some driving, I'd look for a nice Morgan. Some of those Sport Horse type Morgans
are VERY competitive in all of those events, plus, if you wanted to do breed
show type stuff, you could do that too.
