I'm really going to try Sapphy, when I have time. Just hoping I can find these answers, I was having a hard time on some. :/

Since the answers are a bit hard I'll give two answers.
The reason only stallions are used for the airs above the ground is because the mares' center of gravity is all wrong- making it nearly impossible for them to do such feats.

And the tack is indeed based off of Breyers flamenco tack set.

Age: Five Years
What was his tack based off of?: Is it from this Spanish Flamenco Breyer set?
What bloodline does he hail from?: Considering his brand, he hails from the [Maria Fernanda De La] Escalera Bloodline. This is an old and an extremely prestigious bloodline among the PRE [Pure Raza Espanola] horses. "PRE" is another term used for Andalusians.
What is required for a horse to be imported from Spain?:
What is Flamenco?: "Flamenco" is a type of folk art and culture in Spain, more specifically surrounding Andalusia. It involves singing [cante], dancing [baile], guitar-playing [toque], and hand-clapping [palmas]. Each piece is defined by its characteristics [melody, rhythm, etc.]. Flamenco has hundreds of pieces of music.
What, besides Dressage, are Andalusians also commonly used for?: Oh, these creatures excel in many types of styles of riding. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that they are very well-known for their mounted bull fighting. Besides that, Andalusians leave their mark in many other riding styles.
Art: Currently very proud of myself <3 I have a new drawing style and it is working!

Story or Poem: possible Haiku/poem...
or a story of his parade
What is the reason that only stallions are permitted for Airs Above the Ground?: Well, first let's start off with what Airs Above the Ground actually is! I answered this question on my form for the first Pretty Prancer, the Lipizzaner. I did add a bit into it.


These are "high school" dressage techniques/movements made famous by Lipizzaners. The display is an air-born version of Dressage-like movements. They can be quite difficult. These include the levade, the courbette, the capriole, the croupade, the ballotade, and the mezair.


Alright! On ward to the actual answer to the question. The reason only stallions may participate in AAtG is because mares' center of gravity is off, making it hard and near impossible for them to do the movements.

Congrats.

I'm eager to get started on the next one, and got tired of waiting. heh. Congrats, and keep an eye out for the newest Pretty Prancer all else.
