The Paso Fino was selectively bred for their beauty, strength, and even gait. These horses have an influential background involving Andalusians and Spanish Barbs, which were imported from North Africa in the 1500s to these Latin American countries. The Paso Fino first began being imported to America from Puerto Rico in the 1940s and later from Columbia.The Paso Fino is a gaited breed with a unique four-beat lateral gait. In this gait the rider is nearly stationary in the saddle. The gaits are the classic fino (very slow speed), paso corto (moderate speed), and paso largo (fastest speed). The Paso Fino can also do other gaits like the relaxed walk, canter, or lope. The Paso Fino has been known to compete in a variety of competitions including Western classes such as Versatility and Trail and Pleasure driving. Google Ads
