Viva Mexico (Homage to the Mexican Tradition)
An entertaining exploration of the colorful tradition and rich culture of Mexico, where the horse has played an integral role for centuries. Admire the skill of the Mexican equestrian women of the Escaramusa Team and the Mexican Charros, as they perform with Pure Spanish Horses. We are honored to have riders from as far away as San Francisco and Las Vegas featured in our grand exhibition of dancing P.R.E. horses and live music. Professional singers on horseback pay tribute to the Pure Spanish Horse. Assist in the selection of Señorita Feria del Caballo Español 2008! These beautiful girls are competing for the Grand Prize, representing our show at the largest equine event in the world, SICAB 2008, in Seville, Spain in November.

 

Viva Feria (Enjoy with the Entire Family)
An unforgettable and fabulous evening of family-oriented events that continue to highlight the majesty of the magnificent and noble Pure Spanish Horse. Watch tomorrow's generation of horse enthusiasts, young riders (ages 7 to 17), demonstrate their horsemanship skills. Dance to live music by professional artists. Other events include Alta Escuela exhibitions by well-known California trainers, performances by a traditional Mexican dance group, and the second round of Señorita Feria 2008.

 

El Caballo Rey De Reyes (King of Kings)
This final celebratory party will make you and your family feel like royalty as we share our passion and admiration for the elegance and nobility of the Pure Spanish Horse. Notable personalities from the P.R.E. Horse World and Guests of Honor join us from the United States and abroad, including Central America and Spain. Tonight we recognize the prizes won by participating breeders. The entertainment includes traditional Flamenco music accompanied by a wonderful Flamenco dance group, the final selection and coronation of Señorita Feria del Caballo Español 2008, and an amazing presentation of cobras, which are groups of mares tied together at the neck and shown by one handler.

Also on Sunday evening, we will be hosting the Hon. Don Ezequiel Peña, who will perform with his beautiful Spanish Horses. The California P.R.E. Horse Breeders invite you to join us in honoring Don Ezequiel Peña for his outstanding contribution in promoting the Pure Spanish Horse, and to recognize him as the Feria del Caballo Español Ambassador of the Pure Spanish Horse in the Americas.
