In an effort to continue to promote PRE Breeding Program activities, ANCCE has
established a new measure that seeks to promote the use of breeding horses. The idea
is to use those horses with the genetic category of Young Recommended Breeding
Stock because they need to be tested through their progeny.
Full-fledged members of ANCCE will now be offered the possibility of registering the
offspring of Young Recommended Breeding Stock free of charge in the PRE Stud
Book.

This latest measure is only applicable for Service 103, which is for registrations
presented prior to the deadline. Registrations presented after the deadline (Service
127) are not eligible for this offer.

To launch this measure, start by consulting the full list of current Young Recommended
Breeding Stock, published in the 2020 and 2021 Breeding Stock Catalogs.
Registrations (Service 103 presented on time before the established deadline) of
progeny by/out of these breeding horses may be requested throughout 2022 and 2023,
and will be free of charge for all Full-fledged members of ANCCE.

Over time, the idea is to continue with this measure. Thus, at the end of each year, the
annual list of Young Recommended Breeding Stock will be published and the colts and
fillies by/out of these horses may be registered in the PRE Stud Book free of charge.
Consequently, we encourage breeders to test their horses that have earned the genetic
category of Young Recommended Breeding Stock by means of their progeny. It is
thanks to their descendants that the genetic qualities transmitted to the next generation
are verified.

Also, we would like to mention that in recent years, the PRE Breeding Program has, for
the most part, focused on Dressage, as this is the discipline with the highest number of
PRE participants and it facilitates genetic assessment. It seems that the time is right to
include other equestrian disciplines such as Working Equitation and Spanish High
School. These two sports expand the marketing possibilities of PRE horses while at
the same time offering breeders the opportunity to select those horses that transmit
good traits for these disciplines, thus allowing them to breed in keeping with their
preferences.

Breeding Programs need to have significant participation of horses in performance
tests so that the genetic assessments obtained have maximum reliability. That is why
ANCCE calls upon all breeders to participate in the various tests with their horses to
collect data for the PRE Breeding Program.
