Andalusian Horse News Breaking News by Donna DeYoung USPRE Update - International News. Posted 03/20/08 by Donna DeYoung Kimberly Boyer, president of USPRE, posted an announcement about what's been happening recently internationally. You can read the full announcement here. Last month in San Jose, Costa Rica, a new FICCE president was elected. You can see from one of our other news articles that the previous president was Barbara Currie.  It's likely that her involvement with the ANCCE/Foundation scandal caused her to lose her position. According to USPRE, D. Andre Garnier is the new president and FICCE has unanimously endorsed and reconfirmed their commitment to the Spanish Stud Book [of Spain] as the only legitimate registry of the PRE breed. This is another step backwards for the Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse which is trying to establish itself as an international registry for the PRE horse. FICCE's website can be visited here. In Spain, D. Javier Conde was ratified as President of ANCCE and it is reported that cartas (Spanish horse papers) are being issued daily and that "Stud Book operations are back on track." [Home]
