ANCCE (Royal Purebred Spanish Horse Breeders’ Association) has elected Carlos Bohorquez as its president for the next four years, after earning 262 votes in comparison with the other candidature.

The widespread support received was the highlight of the election process with ample participation on Tuesday 30 June 2026 in the city of Sevilla.

The newly elected President expressed his satisfaction and excitement for the confidence shown by Association members. He stated that he faces this new term with the commitment to reinforce the representation of breeders and continue to promote the development of the Purebred Spanish Horse sector.

Main Challenges

Among the main challenges of this new chapter, Bohorquez emphasized that his priority would “continue to work on behalf of all ANCCE breeders and owners” within the context of an era based on technological innovation and international expansion. His electoral program places members at the forefront of this strategy and is committed to modernizing conformation competitions with the incorporation of artificial intelligence, digital models, and virtual, 3D environments.

Among the main focal point is hosting the World Dressage Championships for Young Horse in Spain, in addition to promoting the Molecular Genetics and Genomics Laboratory as a new source of Association revenue. At the same time, his leadership seeks to strengthening marketing through the Association’s own channels, and with a comprehensive and more efficient management of SICAB.

New National Circuits

With regards to sports, the Association will continue to move forward with the redesign of its competition strategy by launching new national circuits and the promotion of PRE teams in disciplines of both Dressage and Working Equitation at international competitions, including the World Dressage Championship for Young Horses and the World Working Equitation Championships.

At the same time, ANCCE will back the promotion of Purebred Spanish Horses both in Spain and abroad to consolidate the brands ANCCE, Purebred Spanish Horse (PRE), and SICAB, with active presence at national and international equestrian fairs and events. Likewise, communication campaigns in strategic markets in the United States and Germany will also be undertaken.
