HAPPY NEW YEAR! The Officers and Directors of The Foundation hope that your holidays were filled with family and friends, laughter and love, and new memories for your lifetime. Hopefully as well, your resolutions for the new year have inspired you to think of new ways that you and your beloved Pure Spanish Horses can be seen by the world. We at The Foundation have a few new ideas up our sleeves, and we certainly welcome your ideas and suggestions. Please contact, by email or phone, any of your Directors listed at the top of this website under “Contact”. We want to hear from you!
Words from President Maria O’Brien
I started this year with great strength and great enthusiasm to lead an extraordinary group of people who focus their activities on behalf of the Spanish Horse in North America.
Nothing is more important and more joyful than to be able to greet those who receive this newsletter and thank them for the trust they have in The Foundation, especially its Board of Directors, who try to respond to the important challenges that we face day to day.
We are aware of the unstoppable development of new technologies so we want our website and media to be a more informative tool, a meeting point for all P.R.E. lovers. We intend it to showcase our Foundation and, at the same time, use its dynamic structure to facilitate communication while remaining user-friendly. We started the New Year with this major project in mind.
We will continue implementing the educational campaign of the P.R.E. in schools. Our calendar of clinics and seminars for our associates will be even more extensive this year. Since our tours have been so popular, we have scheduled two horse trips this year. We also have new goals and projects which we will achieve together through the harmony, respect, and solidarity of all P.R.E. lovers.
I also want to Thank all our donors and associates who have made it possible for our organization to flourish. I particularly wish to acknowledge the dedication, time, and efforts of our Board of Directors, our Executive Committee, and all of our Office Workers whose love and passion for the P.R.E. enable us to continue to work on behalf of these wonderful horses. Happy New Year!

Technology Update
We will have a three-month hiatus for Technology Reassessment. This will include a review and update of our entire computer software system, as well as all our social media platforms. We have received a donation that will allow us to do a complete overhaul, while still making necessary information available. While the design and work is underway, you will be able to contact us through our regular emails, read information on our web page, and look up historic data.
However, there will be no updates on our Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram. We will be collecting information for New Registrations, but will not be producing new papers while the system is in review. We are making your experience with our website more interactive, requiring fewer clicks to reach your goal, as well as updating the look of our page.
One of the several new features that will be included in our new updated page will be a series of weekly questionnaires, providing the responses to you on the next week’s updated website page. If you have questions that you would like to have answered, please send them to Barbara.Currie@prehorse.org. She will be collecting the questions and seeing that they are available every week. There are many other new features that will be included in the update. If you have ideas, suggestions, comments, please direct them to Barbara who is coordinating the update.
