Andalusian Horse News Breaking News by Donna DeYoung The Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse Supports Broken Lineage PRE Registration Posted 04/15/08 by Donna DeYoung (the only one brave enough or stupid enough to share this information with you!) The following articles were written in response to recent news by the Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse (the Foundation) that they will allow broken line PRE horses to be revised. A broken-line PRE horse is a horse of Pure Spanish heritage (no Portuguese lines) that can be traced back to the Spanish studbook. However, for one reason or another, a parent was not "revised" or graded as accepted into the studbook. Examples would be a horse that had a genetic defect (such as cryptorchid) and thus was disqualified. A horse that had too many Arabian characteristics and was failed. A horse was bred but died before it could be inspected and thus has offspring that do not have papers. And so on. I wrote these articles to give you some background into the state of things today especially concerning the Mundial PRE registration created by the Foundation.
