Our condolences go out to to the friends and family of long-time IALHA member Judy Fuller, of Carver Mountain Andalusians in Arizona, who passed away the morning of March 25th. Over the years, Judy participated actively in many IALHA activities, including serving on the Board of Directors for three years.

Judy and her husband Roger operated their ranch and were active in promoting the Andalusian breed. Judy was responsible for first bringing the Andalusian and Lusitano division to the Carousel Charity Horse Show in Scottsdale, Arizona, a tradition that was resumed in 2012 after a several year hiatus.

Many IALHA members remember fondly Judy’s incredibly athletic reining mare Maja TJ, who slid her way to IALHA history as a National Champion Reining Horse with performances that have yet to be matched.

Judy, you will be missed.
