The Specific Rules for the PRE Team participating at the 2023 Dressage World Breeding Championship for Young Horses have been announced. This event will be held in the city of Ermelo, in Holland, from the 3rd to the 6th of August. There is a technical team that will select the young Purebred Spanish Horses making up the team. This team includes the ANCCE General Sports Commission, under the leadership of its president Jorge Sanchez Martinez, and a sole international trainer, Jose Daniel Martin Dockx.

The most outstanding aspect is that the international trainer will attend all International Dressage Championships held in Spain to better follow the career of possible pairs for the Ermelo event. Likewise, this trainer will draft a report about each pair, which in turn will be sent to the corresponding riders and breeders/owners.

On the other hand, ANCCE will organize a series of selection clinics. Pairs must participate in at least two (2) of such clinics. These clinics are for pairs that have attained the minimal qualification scores established by Spain’s Royal Equestrian Federation. These pairs must obtain their averages based on their two (2) best scores, obtained at:

- 2 International Dressage Competition Young Horse events
- 1 International Dressage Competition Young Horse and the National Young Horse Master

Please note the following exceptions: 
- The best score attained throughout the competition will be taken into consideration.
- The score must be equal to or greater than 70% in the case of horses age 7 and older, and 75% in the case of 5 & 6-year-old horses.

The ultimate selection and drafting of the final list for the PRE Team members participating in the 2023 Dressage World Breeding Championship for Young Horses will be ready prior to the 26th of June, 2023.

Once the final selection has concluded, the international trainer will draft the final list of pairs and substitutes chosen for each level of the World Championship. The General Sports Commission will present this list to the ANCCE Executive Committee for approval.

The PRE Team Selection Clinics are:
- March 30th | Campus Torreluna - Real Escuela. Carmona in Sevilla.
- May 2nd | Centro Ecuestre de Castilla y Leon in Segovia.

Final Selection Clinic (mandatory attendance):
- June 18th &19th | Centro Ecuestre de Castilla y Leon in Segovia.
