Celebration 2010 will arrive in Las Vegas this September. Back in Vegas by popular demand, Celebration will once again command the attention of PRE (Pura Raza Espanola) Horse lovers from all over the world. The beauty of the Pure Spanish Horse at Celebration X outshines the glitz and glammer (and Bling) of all other PRE National shows. Why? Because the best of the best of the breed understand ……Celebration X is the ultimate competition for our breed!

The most prestigious gathering of PRE (Pura Raza Espanola) horse breeders and enthusiasts will converge in Las Vegas at the South Point Equestrian Center for Celebration X Gathering. This National Competition will award the Top Breeder, Best of the Breed, Top Exhibitor and numerous other National Championship awards over the course of the Four day show.

The Foundation employs unique technology to allow viewers from all over the planet to enjoy live streaming video feed of the entire competition. Spanish Judges will decide the National winners of the classes in Morphology, Functionality, and Doma Vaquera and Alta Escuela. If you have enjoyed the wonderful performances of Cavalia or the Lippizaner Stallions, you would really enjoy the competition for Doma Vaquera and Alta Escuela. These performances on horseback bring back the classical art of dressage in a classical demonstration which emphasizes the grace and beauty of the Spanish Horse.

Extravaganza! PRE Exhibition – Celebrate the Spanish Horse with Us
The Foundation has a wonderful Exhibition planned Saturday Evening, Sept 4th. Demonstrations of the beauty of the Spanish Horse will begin in the evening, including an amazing Alta Escuela routine to Music lead by Tom Reed from Midevil Times. Tom's Troup of Mid-Evil riders in full Era costume will amaze the crowd with the beauty of "Airs above the ground" and a beautiful demonstration of the Classical Art of the Spanish Horse. Also planned are an array of stunning acts of Doma Vaquera, Jousting, and musical acts on horseback that never fail to entertain the entire family.

Clinics and PRE Promotion Sessions Throughout the show, the Foundation provides several clinics of interest to the membership. The following clinics will take place at the show;

Judges Seminar Clinic
Targeted at developing future Judges for the Spanish Horse. Currently, The Foundation only has approved Judges in Spain. Our approved Judges are limited to a very select group of highly qualified and decorated Spanish certified Judges. The intent of the clinic is to begin the process of developing future judges to anticipate the tremendous growth of the popularity of the PRE in America.

Equine Photography Workshop
Presented by Carol Walker, professional equine photographer, this workshop will work with the student to better understand how to capture the beauty of the horse on film. Live subjects and horses will accompany a hands-on clinic on the practical methods pro photographers use to make the horse look their best. Anyone marketing their ranch or horses, photographing horses for their personal use, developing a web site, or trying to learn how to get better pictures of their horses will benefit from this seminar.
