The Iberian horse is enjoying a remarkable rise in international prestige, and the U.S. market has become one of the most important stages for its expansion. Increasingly, breeders, riders and equestrian enthusiasts are turning their attention to the Pure Spanish Horse (Pura Raza Española, PRE) and the Lusitano.

In this global context, one event stands out above all others: IBERICON.

After a groundbreaking debut in 2024, Ibericon has transformed the international equestrian calendar with its unique mission: to place the Iberian horse at the very heart of the American stage. Now, from October 13–19, 2025, Ibericon returns with renewed energy at one of the world’s premier equestrian venues, the World Equestrian Center (WEC) in Ocala, Florida.

This year, USPRE Week will proudly be held during IBERICON, bringing together the PRE community with an extraordinary program of events, celebrations, and showcases dedicated to the Pure Spanish Horse.

A World-Class Program

Ibericon 2025 offers a diverse and ambitious program combining competition, educational activities, networking, and entertainment:

Fiesta Ocala – ANCCE-approved two-star morphology competition
Iberian Cup – USEF-approved National Dressage Competition with exclusive awards for Iberian horses
Trabajo y Tradición – Clinics of Working Equitation
Ibericon Academy – Seminars, round tables, and networking sessions with leading breeders and industry experts
Iberian Horse Spectacular – Two unforgettable evenings of performances designed to captivate and inspire the American audience

A Week Devoted to the Pure Spanish Horse

A key highlight of Ibericon is its singular focus: a full week dedicated exclusively to the Iberian horse. Once again, the United States PRE Association (USPRE) will play a central role, hosting its traditional week of activities to promote, celebrate, and elevate the PRE breed.

With initiatives designed for breeders, educational programming, and a welcome cocktail for members, USPRE’s presence underscores its commitment to excellence and its role as a bridge between Spain and the U.S. In addition, USPRE staff will be present at the stand throughout the week to assist members and breeders with studbook services.

The full USPRE Week program will be announced soon.
