USPRE Presents the 2026 Born in America Awards at FIESTA OCALA

As a proud sponsor of FIESTA OCALA during USPRE Week at Ibericon, USPRE was honored to be present for a special celebration recognizing the outstanding achievements of American breeders and the exceptional quality of the Pure Spanish Horse (PRE) born and bred in the United States.

The Born in America  Awards highlight the dedication, passion, and vision of the breeders who continue to advance the PRE breed in America. Through their commitment to excellence, these breeders are producing remarkable horses that reflect the beauty, movement, functionality, and versatility that make the PRE breed so extraordinary.

The awards were presented by Carlos Bohórquez, ANCCE President; Tanya Duffey, USPRE Executive Director; and Jesus Juarez, USPRE Board Member, who came together to honor this year's deserving winners and celebrate the breeders behind these exceptional achievements.

As an organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the Pure Spanish Horse in the United States, USPRE is proud to recognize the people whose hard work and commitment are helping strengthen the American PRE community and contribute to the continued growth and international recognition of American-bred horses.

Congratulations to this year's American-Born Horse Award recipients!
