PRE Horses for Sale UK
Finding the Right PRE Horse in the UK
The Pura Raza Española (PRE) is one of the most admired horse breeds in the world, and demand for PRE horses for sale in the UK continues to grow each year. Known for their beauty, intelligence and natural ability for collection, PRE horses are increasingly popular with riders looking for a talented and rewarding partner.
Many riders searching for PRE horses for sale UK are drawn to the breed’s expressive movement, generous temperament and versatility, whether for dressage, leisure riding or simply enjoying a truly special horse.
At Strathbury’s we specialise in carefully selected PRE horses available in the UK, sourced from trusted breeders across Spain and prepared through our structured acclimatisation process in England.
Why Buy a PRE Horse in the UK?
While many riders consider travelling to Spain to purchase a horse, buying a PRE horse that is already established in the UK offers several important advantages.
Horses travelling from Spain or Portugal often undertake journeys of over 2,000 kilometres. Adjusting to a new climate, feeding system, turnout routines and riding environment can take time.
Viewing horses that are already settled in the UK allows riders to see the horse relaxed, confident and performing naturally before making a decision.
This gives a far clearer understanding of the horse’s temperament and ability.

The Strathbury’s Approach to PRE Horses
At Strathbury’s, every horse is selected with care and experience.
Wayne and Nicole personally travel across Spain visiting trusted breeders and assessing horses in person. Only a small number of horses demonstrate the temperament, soundness and natural ability required to move forward in the process.
Once selected, each horse is brought to England to complete the Strathbury’s acclimatisation programme, allowing them time to adapt to their new environment before being offered to riders.
