ANCCE maintains the stud book for the Pura Raza Espanola Horses in Spain . They issue a carta or passport for each registered animal. Both parents must be registered and approved to make a youngster eligible for the inscription/revision process, which ensures this newest member of the P.R.E. family full recognition and documentation.

A website that fully explains what ANCCE does, what a Carta is, and how the inscription and revision process works is:

The P.R.E. BREED is an important and distinctive subset of the group of horses called Andalusians. The word breed is as opposed to general terms such as “kind” or “type” of horse. The P.R.E. has a very specific genetic heredity marked by predictable characteristics…thus, the use of the term breed.

Predictability by definition presupposes the ability to constantly expect a specific result. In order for the general population of horse lovers to recognize when a P. R. E. Horse has fulfilled the expected and predicted expression of his heredity, there is a published breed standard. Adhering to the breed standard and proving that the new foal indeed does conform, is why the breeders of the P. R. E. Horse embrace the process of inscription and revision. A website that describe the breed standard and give conformation explanations and examples is:

P. R. E. breeders are focused on preserving the heritage and promise created by decades of devotion to a standard and process that brings the
P. R. E. horse into the 21st century looking and moving like its 18th century predecessors.

WATCHMAN supports the P.R.E. Horse through the Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse (a non-profit organization).
