In the heart and spirit of the Adequan Global Dressage Festival, USPRE Week will be held from 24 - 28 January 2023. This week full of activities will focus on the PRE. The purpose is to continue the promotion of the Spanish horse breed in the United States.
USPRE members and PRE lovers are invited to the equestrian “Disneyland” of Wellington, the epicenter of international competition in the world. You will enjoy a great program of activities related to the Spanish horse.
Star Guests
The PRE horse returns as the sole protagonist in Wellington. The annual week will once again give a wide variety of activities designed for enjoyment and learning for PRE fans.
Among the confirmed guests are distinguished Spanish personalities Juan Manuel Muñoz and Francisco Fernandez Muñoz, and elite riders such as Yvonne Losos de Muñiz, just to name a few honored invitees.
An Action Packed Week
Continuing the program on Wednesday morning at the Horse and Hounds premises, Javier Ruiz will explain certain ingredients of his magical recipe advocating the classical warm-up of the trained horse.
Immediately following, Juan Manuel Muñoz will provide insights into the development of the young horse with Kerrigan Gluch and Hermanito HGF.
A seminar will follow focusing on horse health by Dr. Robert Boswell, DMV, PA. He will share his knowledge and experience about preventing and treating Laminitis in the PRE. Later in the schedule, a Purina representative will provide some input about proper horse diets
Thursday, the activities are rolling. In the morning, Juan Manuel Muñoz will continue with his guidance on the second part of his clinic. Afterward, everyone is invited to attend the Grand Prix competition at the Global Dressage Festival around noontime.
Mark your calendar for Friday Night Under the Lights, the Grand Prix Freestyle, sponsored by USPRE. It begins at 7 PM at the Global Dressage Festival. With the electric atmosphere of the Friday Night Stars Freestyles, the audience will enjoy, during the intermission, a PRE exhibition.
Last but not least, on Saturday, as the final activity, there will be a ROUND TABLE discussion about “The new horizon of the PRE in the sport.” Judges, Elite riders, and amateurs are some of the exciting guests that will form the panel.
