Welcome to ORIGIN P.R.E.! Breeder of Pure Spanish Horses (P.R.E. - Pura Raza Espanola)
About the P.R.E.

You have seen them in movies and probably didn't even know what they
were; just that they were the most beautiful horses you have ever
seen. They have long flowing manes and tails, come in all colors but
are mostly gray or white, and have been bred for centuries to bond
with, understand and relate to humans with timeless generosity and
nobility.
They were the horses that were reserved
for use by kings, queens, and elite government officials to make them
look impressive and important. When you ride one you immediately get
the sensation that you are royalty while their smooth regular gaits
remind you of sitting on your favorite couch. In fact they are so
special you should not look at them for very long without the
protection of sunglasses! They look like a dream, they ride like a
dream, they act like a dream and you will never want to wake up. Just
being near them is a thrill. (OK, now you understand how much we really
love these horses).
P.R.E. Horses can be registered
in the P.R.E. Mundial Registry (through The Foundation for the Pure
Spanish Horse) or in the Spanish Stud Book in Spain or
both. Each will provide a carta insuring the horses' lineage and
authenticity as documentation of the horse's registration. A P.R.E. horse has to pass a physical inspection and genetic testing when
it is a foal to receive its carta in either registry. This process is
called Inscription and is usually done when the foal is still nursing
from its dam. When the horse reaches adulthood, a minimum of three
years old, it is examined again for minimum size, quality,
transmissible faults and breed fidelity. When it passes this approval
it is said to be revised, or approved for breeding or reproduction
purposes.
