2020 USPRE Week: Action Packed Program Celebrating the PRE

Every year in late January, the United States PRE (USPRE) Association hosts a week-long event, which focuses entirely on promoting the Spanish PRE breed within the United States.

Celebrating the PRE in Wellington

This year, USPRE Week will be held from 21 through 25 January 2020, in Wellington, Florida. Wellington has long been the epicenter for premiere international riding competitions and even earned the name “Equestrian Disneyland” for horse aficionados. USPRE proudly invites all members, as well as PRE lovers everywhere, to enjoy a world class program of activities related to these Spanish horses.

One of the most important events of the equestrian season will be the showcase of PRE horses. During the intermission, at the Friday Night Stars – Freestyle under the Lights at the Global Pavilion, we’ll be delighted by the world of Doma Vaquera with Francisco Miguel de Rooij joined by other performers. This event will have a number of unique moments with a variety of activities designed for the enjoyment of all PRE fans.
