FUEGO DE CARDENAS AND NORTE LOVERA CUPS ANNOUNCED
To celebrate the stellar accomplishments of the P.R.E. horses, Fuego de Cárdenas owned by Miguel Angel de Cárdenas Osuna, ridden by Juan Manuel Muñoz Diaz, and Norte Lovera, owned by Miguel and Enrique Lovera, ridden by José Antonio García, at the 2010 World Equestrian Games, The Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse, Miguel Angel de Cárdenas, and the Lovera Family are pleased to offer these two new awards to those P.R.E. horses and riders competing in United States dressage competitions.
Winners will receive a commemorative trophy; a championship cooler and the horse’s name will be engraved on a brick permanently placed in the Walkway of Remembrance at the International Resource Center for the Pure Spanish Horse in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Their names will also be affixed to plaques on the perpetual Fuego de Cárdenas and Norte Lovera Trophies on display at the International Resource Center for the Pure Spanish Horse.
It is the mission of the Foundation to promote the P.R.E. horse and we feel that participation in equine disciplines at which this breed excels is an excellent way to present the breed to the equine public. In recognition of those who participate, these awards will be given to the P.R.E. horse and rider combination scoring the highest median score in the National Levels (Training, First, Second, Third and Fourth Levels) for the NORTE LOVERA Cup and in the International Levels (Prix St. Georges, Intermediare I, Intermediare II, and Grand Prix) for the FUEGO DE CARDENAS Cup.
The determination of the winners will follow the same formula as the USDF All Breeds Awards. The owner of the P.R.E. must be a member of the Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse at the time of the award.
In keeping with our mandate that the Foundation puts the preservation, protection and promotion of the P.R.E. as its primary consideration, the P.R.E. horse may be registered with any recognized P.R.E. registry (P.R.E. Mundial Cría Caballar, ACPRE, LG ANCCE etc.) Copies of breed papers must be submitted to the Foundation prior to the awards being given.
