ANCCE representatives traveled to Florence to meet with the Italian Breeder Associations, to discuss Stud Book details and policies for the promotion of Purebred Spanish Horse in Italy.

The ANCCE delegation interviewed AIPRE (Italian PRE Association) and AICE (Italian Association of Spanish Horses) representatives at the Unaway Hotel in Florence.

There are two Breeder Associations in Italy and the main reason for the visit was to inform them of the advances in PRE Stud Book affairs in Italy, and discuss the information that is still pending receipt at the register.

Italy is an expanding market, with strong historical ties to Spain.  It is also host of one of the most important equestrian events in the world, Fieracavalli, which is held in Verona.  This year, the event will hold its 109th edition.

Therefore, talking about joint promotion with the associations was another major topic. The objective is to participate in important events in Italy and obtain first-hand-knowledge about needs of the potential Italian clients, in addition to offering our collaboration when organizing tests for the PRE.

The information campaign ANCCE launched in 2006 to reach as many breeders as possible has taken us to sixty locations in Spain as well as to Costa Rica, Mexico, Guatemala, the United States, Holland, the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy.
