The resurgence of the 'gaited' horse
Continued from page 14
mixing breeds to gain the desired characteristics, the Peru-
vian Paso's unique qualities are the result of 400 years of
carefully selecting the best of one breed in an attempt to attain
the perfect horse. Isolated in Peru from the time of the early
Spanish Conquistadors until the break up of the large planta-
tions in the middle of this century, the horse has only become

His proud carriage and fiery presence contrasts with his
tractable nature, Highly intelligent, the Peruvian Paso is easy to
train, gentle in hand and under saddle and likes people. One
hundred percent of pure-bred horses inherit the paso llano gait,
a smooth four-beat riding gait. He also has a faster, broken pace

called the sobreando in which
he can travel at speeds of 15
miles and more per hour.. The
Peruvian Paso is the only horse
in the world with termino, a
distinctive action displayed by
the front quarters of the horse
as he performs his gait. It's a
graceful movement where the
forelegs are smoothly rolled
dramatically toward the out-
side rather like a swimming
motion.
The Peruvian Horse
stands between 14.1 and 15.2
hands. Aficionados do not
• claim their horse is a"jack of
all trades." They will proudly
tell you the Peruvian Paso is
an excellent riding, parade and
exhibition horse.
The Paso Fino takes its
name from its smooth saddle
gait, the paso fino, a short-
stepping broken pace. The
horse is distinct from the Pe-
ruvian Paso. Deve|oped from strains of horses bred and raised
in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Columbia,
the American Paso Fino is a combination of these diverse types
who share a similar ancestry and several important character-
istics.
The pasofino means "fine walk." The horse was bred for
this broken-pace gait performed with great collection, fully
balanced with plenty of drive from the hind quarters. The paso
corto is the horse's traveling gait performed with less collec-
tion, longer extension and greater stride than the pasofino. The
paso largo is the fastest of the Paso Fino's inborn broken pace
gaits.
The horse is exciting to watch as well as to ride. It gives the
impression of great grace, presence and power. Valued for its
beauty as well as ability, the horse has enjoyed a rapid rise in
popularity ill thiS country. The numberofPaso Finos registered
in the U.S. grew by 40 percent from 1990-94.
Like the Paso Fino, other gaited horses are growing in
popularity as people are increasingly interested in horses for
pleasure riding. During the same period the number of regis-
tered Missouri Fox Trotters and Peruvian Pasos has grown by
20 percenL There ale approximately 300,000 registered Ten-
nessee Walking Horses, and their numbers are rising. New
registries for other breeds of gaited horses, the Spotted Saddle
Horse, the Walkaloosa, the Rocky Mountain Horse and the
Icelandic Horse, have also been formed. In addition, there are
new registries for the Mountain Pleasure Horse, the American
Singl-Footing Horse, the Tiger Horse and the Racking Horse.
This is happening at a time when ungaited breeds are experi-
encing a decline in the number of newly registered horses.
To obtain the names and addresses of any of the above
registries, please contact the Pahrump Valley Gazette, 727-
5583.
