Paso Fino Horses - horses in Paseo de Bellas

The Paso Finos have a proud history and is one of the oldest breeds in the Western Hemisphere. During the 500 years that have been selectively bred in the Western Hemisphere, the Paso Fino has participated in the conquest of the Americas, and then the exploration and development of North and South American continent. Today they are show horses, pleasure horses way, and have a lot of versatile uses in all equine disciplines. But is the lateral four-stroke gait that distinguishes the Paso Fino. This exceptionally smooth movement makes it an excellent choice for people with spinal injuries or arthritis, as well as for therapeutic riding programs for disabled people.

The origins of the Paso Fino began in Spain, where a mix of breeds opportunity for children created one day become one of the best saddle horses in the world. When the Moors occupied the Spanish countryside that brought about the Berber horse, also known as the tongue. Interbreeding with native Spanish speakers produced values ​​gaited Spanish Jennet delicacy (which extinct, but re-created). These were subsequently bred with the Andalusian. The offspring had the strength of the tongue, the natural pride and presence Board of Andalusia, and walking very comfortable chair Spanish Jennet.

In 1492, Columbus discovered the New World did not have horses, so his second voyage, brought the first horses to Santo Domingo, a select group of mares and stallions of Andalusian and string of mixed lineages above. The result of the mixture of these horses and isolation of them to such a small area assured that these lineages over time become the Paso Fino horse.

The offspring of isolated from these horses were dispersed throughout the land the various conquerors invaded. Centuries of selective breeding by settlers in Latin America and the Caribbean produce variations of the "Caballo de Criollo" (horse native). Among them was the small, very muscular, very fine Paso Fino that flourished initially in Puerto Rico and Colombia, and later in many other Latin American countries (notably Cuba, Dominican Republic, Aruba and Venezuela) were suitable for farm work throughout Central and South America. But price was very smooth gait of the Jennet was quickly recognized as a desirable trait and perpetuated so active. This march became the genetic stamp of the Paso Fino.

Knowledge of the Paso Fino not spread outside Latin America until after the World War II. It was after U.S. troops came into contact with the impressive horse while in Puerto Rico that the U.S. began importing in the 1940's. In the 1960's, Paso Finos began to be imported from Colombia. But what country produces the "true" Paso Fino? They are "Purists" who advocate one or the other country, but the American Paso Fino is often a mixture of the best of Puerto Rico and Colombian bloodlines.

The Paso Fino varies in size from 13.0 to 15.2 hands hands. Weight ranges from 700 to 1100 lbs, full size but can not be achieved until the fifth year. Each color equine solid Pinto can be found in the Paso Fino, with or without white markings.

The head should be refined and well-proportioned body, neither too small nor too large, preferred a straight profile. The eyes are large, well spaced, and expressive. The ears are short, near, and concave ends. The print should be a intelligent face. The neck should be gracefully arched, medium in length and located at an angle to allow the transport of high. Mane, tail and mane should be as long, complete and luxurious as possible and without artificial additions or surgical alterations are allowed. The tail is carried gracefully when the horse is in motion. Standing a little less in the rear is a typical pose.

No one can speak of a Paso Fino, without focusing on the extremely smooth running, including your name, Paso Fino means "Paso Fino". The basic steps of the Paso Fino in order of speed are the Paso Fino, Paso Corto and stride and are able to run other air that are natural to horses, including a walk Lope or canter relaxed. Air is not trained, but are natural to the horse shows at birth. Newborn foals struggle to their feet and take their first steps halting the march. Owners are proud of the naturalness of their horses as artificial training aid are not required to carry out this instinctive genetically underway.

The Paso Fino is made up of three forward speeds with varying degrees of collection. In all walking speeds, the driver must appear stationary in the chair, and there should be no perceptible movement up and down the horse's back. The demonstrations show the driver with a full glass of water, not spilling a drop, and just moves the water in the glass at all.

The Classic Fino, also known as Fino Fino, El Paso, Paso Fino gait, exhibits the collection complete with a very slow forward speed. It is a uniform space four times with each foot lateral motion in contact with the ground independently in a regular sequence at precise intervals creating a rapid, continuous and very regular rhythm 1-2-3-4. Perfectly executed, the four hoof beats are absolutely even, both in the cadence and impact, resulting in unmatched smoothness and comfort for the rider. The tread is very fast with very short steps and extension. Although the horse steps very fast, it only takes small steps, so the speed is between a walk and a gallop. This step is often used in the show, since strains of the horse, but Step can be sustained for an extended period of time without rest. It is a remarkable spectacle because the horse seems to be dancing.

The Paso Corto has a speed forward that is moderate, moderate full collection. The footprints are ground covers, but without haste and run with an average size and stride. It is a comfortable speed similar to the fly half trotting speed. The shorter the path average and well-conditioned ride Paso Fino can travel for hours in the short. Since it is very energy efficient, is ideal for long days of driving.

The Paso Largo is the fastest speed of travel, almost like a gallop, and is an extended version even more tread it. It runs with an extension of time and at minimum moderate step collection. Forward speed varies with the individual horse, since its speed must be in harmony with their own natural pace and cadence. A horse can long ground cover at an impressive speed, spreading his legs a lot more to cover more ground, while still providing a safe and balanced for the rider.

Few Steps Trail development, which is a variant on the diagonal in El Paso. This is often discouraged, except in parts of Colombia. Although it is a natural step, is not as desirable as the Paso. Some horses develop this version diagonal when stressed or tired, so may be a sign that a horse is overworked or simply picking up bad habits.

The Paso Fino has a lively spirit and controlled and a horse meek who is intelligent, sensitive and gentle. It is a very willing horse that truly seems to enjoy human companionship and strives to please his attitude is very responsive when under tack. Often owners are trained in English and western style and many opt for a style of course the countries of origin of the horses. They are shoes or bare feet are slightly when away from rocky or paved surfaces.

In 1972, the Paso Fino Horse Association (PFHA) was founded. This is a Member of the governed, nonprofit organization dedicated to promote, protect and improve the breed. It is unclear from their website if you are a race record of the body and there is no reference the official family record or history or any other registration information you would expect of a record. Its 8,500 members are represented by 24 regional groups in the United States, Canada, Europe and South America that shows all the sponsors and other events, but do not register Paso Finos.

Other Website Registration Step Call (PFR) likewise is not "register" as a blogger has written, but it has a search of the genealogy of the horses of the Foundation. A link in place to "register your horse" leads nowhere, and no registration information you would expect in a registration site. A look at family trees list shows the names of Paso Fino that tend to be Spanish or Spanish "flavor" but if this is a requirement for official registration (as in some breeds), or simply traditional preference is not clear whether the rules for registration are available.

The Paso Fino horse is versatile, able to adapt to a variety of climates and purposes and demonstrates its versatility, not only in the ring, but after the dance competition and endurance rides in dressage, rodeo, and working with livestock. Still rising in popularity, as one by one, converts are won through the experience of travel.
