Ignacio Bravo Garcia Clinic Published courtesy of USPREA
The clinic kick started at the elegant facilities of Raul Bucio known for his beautiful horses and celebrated throughout Califor- nia for his commitment to the highest levels of hospitality. Upon arrival, guests were welcomed by Raul, offered refreshments and invited to tour the barn. Shade and refreshments were offered at regular intervals throughout the warm day to make sure guests found their visit comfortable and enjoyable. The following day, Ramiro Mejia replicated traditional Hispanic hospitality in Chino.
Clinician, Ignacio Bravo offered a unique perspective at both sites as a P.R.E. Breeder, accomplished Trainer, Grand Prix level dressage rider and ANCCE Judge. He was charming, knowledge- able and tireless in his efforts to teach all attendants about the preparation and presentation of our wonderful horses. His enthou- siasm for the Pure Spanish Horse was contagious and his useful information in abundance.
Amongst the many topics addressed, D. Ignacio gave an over- view of what to look for in a well presented functionality test. The horse should be ridden such that he is obedient to the rider’s aids but with freedom to express his natural gaits.

It was his commitment to the P.R.E. Horse that led him to part ways with former associations who sought to imitate and cheapen the value of his beloved P.R.E. Horse. It was this same passion that led him to formally join in the work with ANCCE—as Del- egado to North America—and also to be a founder of the United States P.R.E. Association in late 2007.
