USPRE WEEK IS BACK!

In the heart and spirit of the Adequan Global Dressage Festival, USPRE Week will be held from January 24th to 28th, 2023. This week full of activities will focus on the PRE. The purpose is to continue the promotion of the Spanish horse breed in the United States.

USPRE members and PRE lovers are invited to the equestrian “Disneyland” of Wellington, the epicenter of international competition in the world. You will enjoy a great program of activities related to the Spanish horse.

The PRE horse returns as the sole protagonist in Wellington. The annual week will once again give a wide variety of activities designed for enjoyment and learning for PRE fans.

Among the confirmed guests are distinguished Spanish personalities Juan Manuel Muñoz and Francisco Fernandez Muñoz, and elite riders such as Yvonne Losos de Muñiz, just to name a few honored invitees.

It will be a solid start to the week. Tuesday morning, a continental breakfast will be provided at Horse and Hounds. Juan Manuel Muñoz will host an instructional clinic for our confirmed PRE riders. After a delightful morning of Spanish wisdom, after, all members are welcome to a 6:30 PM Cocktail Reception at the National Polo Center

Continuing the program on Wednesday morning at the Horse and Hounds premises, Javier Ruiz will explain certain ingredients of his magical recipe advocating the Classical warm-up of the trained horse.

Immediately following, Juan Manuel Muñoz will provide insights into the development of the young horse with Kerrigan Gluch and Hermanito HGF.

A seminar will follow focusing on horse health by Dr. Robert Boswell, DMV, PA.  He will share his knowledge and experience about preventing and treating Laminitis in the PRE. Later in the schedule, a Purina representative will provide some input about proper horse diets

Thursday, the activities are rolling. In the morning, Juan Manuel Muñoz will continue with his guidance on the second part of his Clinic. Afterwards, everyone is invited to attend the Grand Prix competition at the GlobalDressage Festival around noontime.

Later, at 7:00 PM, the annual Member Dinner will be held at Wellington International (WEF). The USPRE Annual Awards will be presented that evening.

Mark your calendar for Friday Night Under the Lights, the Grand Prix Freestyle, sponsored by USPRE. It begins at 7 PM at the Global Dressage Festival.

With the electric atmosphere of the Friday Night Stars Freestyles, the audience will enjoy, during the intermission, a PRE exhibition.

Last but not least, on Saturday, as the final activity, there will be a ROUND TABLE discussion about “The new horizon of the PRE in the sport.” Judges, Elite riders, and amateurs are some of the exciting guests that will form the panel.

In between the scheduled events, visit historic Palm Beach and Delray Beach, as well as the local communities, swim in the ocean, meet dressage celebrities, and fellow members, and enjoy the warm south Florida weather.
