Paso
Fino
It
is the lateral four-beat gait that distinguishes the Paso
Fino in the equestrian world. That gait is the corto. All
Paso Fino gaits are a pleasure, but what most owners are
looking for in a pleasure horse is not only beauty, spirit,
carriage and disposition, but a comfortable medium-speed
gait. Comparable in speed to a trot, the corto is the average
trail gait. A well conditioned Paso Fino can travel at
the corto for hours, and thanks to the smooth gait, so
can the rider.

Paso
Fino History
The history
of this noble animal began in Spain where the chance mix
of breeds sparked the seed that became one of the world's
finest riding horses. Moorish occupation of the Spanish
countryside brought with it the Berber horse, also known
as the Barb, an animal that had a strong genetic impact
on equine development throughout Europe, North Africa,
and the New World. Interbreeding with native stock produced
the delicately gaited Spanish Jennet. They were subsequently
bred with the Andalusian.
Just
as the Moorish conquest of Spain introduced a potentially
promising breed to that country, so it was with Columbus'
second voyage to the New World, when he transported the
first horses to Santo Domingo - now the Dominican Republic.
These animals were a mix of the Berber, the Jennet and
the Andalusian. Future voyagers would add to their numbers
in Mexico and South America, but the overall isolation
established these as the ancestors to the Paso Fino.
As remount
stock for the conquistadors, the progeny of these horses
were dispersed throughout the lands attacked by the invaders.
The early fifteen-hundreds saw famous and infamous explorers
and conquerors such as Martin de Salazar, Diego de Velasquez,
and Hernando Cortez transport horses to Puerto Rico and
Colombia, as well as Cuba, the Isthmus of Panama, and Mexico.
Like
pieces in a well-planned puzzle, the best of the contributing
breeds became prominent in these isolated horses. Among
other traits, their young enjoyed the hardiness of the
Barb and the natural presence of the Andalusian. But most
important and treasured was the incredibly even and smooth
gait of the Jennet. Remarkably, that gait became the genetic
stamp that ever after, despite physical changes brought
about by directed breeding or locale, identified this horse
as the one we know today by the name Paso Fino.
The basic
gaits of the Paso Fino in order of speed are the paso fino,
paso corto, and paso largo. They also walk and canter.
These are not trained movements, but are natural to the
horse from the moment of its birth. Artificial training
aids are not necessary to bring about this genetically
inherent gait. |
