Equistride International

 

 

This is the designation used by Spanish breeders to indicate that they are using approved bloodlines, and that their horses have passed strict breed inspections.

 

The Spanish government and breeders adopted this designation to replace the term "Andalusian," because, as their horses became more popular, many horses were being called "Andalusians" that did not meet their criteria.

 

So, a P.R.E. horse has been carefully bred from approved stock and has met inspection guidelines that are regulated by the government.

 

A P.R.E. is what used to be called an "Andalusian"---but not all "Andalusians" are P.R.E.s!

"Pure Spanish Blood."
