The next revision for 2011 will be scheduled for April, after a request was made by Australia to bring our original October dates forward in the year.
All horses turning 3 during the same year (up until 31. December 2011) are eligible to be presented for breeding valoration. If you have a horse that has its birthday later in the year, please make doubly sure that it will have reached the minimum height, so as to avoid frustration on the day.

Remember minimum height is 150cm for females and 152cm for males. If you horse is not mature enough, it might be better to wait until the following year. From what we can gather, all future revision tours will most likely be held in April from now on.

ANCCE will carry out horse revision throughout New Zealand during early November 2010. Revision will start in the Auckland area on 31. October to continue to the Waikato and New Plymouth. After this the authorized ANCCE veterinarian will travel to Christchurch and Invercargill to finish on the 4. November before travelling to Australia.

For further information please contact the ACPRE NZ Inc. President Melanie James.

A single PRE studbook for the entire world

There is only a single registration which is authorized, internationally to produce the official documentation for PRE horses. This is the one and only guarantee for breed purity and which applies the internationally accepted controls for the breed and a breed selection scheme:

• DNA typing of individual horses
• parentage verification of each horse, completed graphic description and microchipping of foals
• evaluation as breeding stock as a 3-year old
• assignment of a reigstration code in the studbook

The passport produced by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture and LG ANCCE is the only documentation that guarantees that the animal is a Purebred Spanish Horse and it fulfills all the requirements for the identification of equines as established by the European Union.

Permitted Colours of the PRE Horse:

According to the breed description in the PRE studbook, all colours are permitted except piebald and skewbald.

Artificial Insemination:

This is currently only permitted in the case of qualified breeding stock.

Aptitud/approval for breeding:
