  When Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492, he found a continent without horses. After returning to Spain, upon his return to the Americas, he brought back mares and stallions from Cordela and Andalusia. These horses were an assortment of Andalusian, Bar-b, and the now-extinct Spanish Jennet. To research additional information, we recommend you check out: El Paso Times. The resulting offspring of this combination was a horse with an incredibly smooth and comfortable walking ideal for the various terrains of-the New World. Due to a quality offered by the Jennet, of driving the most desirable characteristics along to its offspring, the horse easily became favored by the Conquistadors. It was the stock of the Paso Fino breed. The type established a location in the history of Western Civilization, being mentioned as crucial in the conquest, research, and development of the Americas.
  
  On the 500 years since the introduction of the inventory in the Western Hemisphere, the Paso Fino is refined and selectively bred. And although they could be located elsewhere Peru, in South America, claims the finest and most popular bloodlines with this breed.
  
  The most remarkable feature which makes the Paso Fino unique is the design and even cadence of its instinctual 1-2-3-4 gait. The hoofbeats are individually and distinctly heard since the horse moves. The movement is smooth and horizontal, in place of diagonal. Once the horse is in-motion the rider feels almost no, if any, up-and-down motion. This most unusual running is performed at three speeds:
  
  Basic Fino - Used for show purposes only, this is actually the same forward speed being a slow walk. The horse is balanced and collected. Watching the leg action is fascinating.
  
  Paso Corto - this is similar in rate to your trot. It is a reasonable pace, yet allows a good distance to be covered by one in leisurely fashion. Because of the smoothness of the stride, both horse and riders can go for hours relentlessly.
  
  Paso Largo - it is a faster speed with a longer stride. Because it can reach its top speed in coordination with its stride and tempo the specific speed differs for each horse.
  
  Explanation and Conformation
  
  The Paso Fino's shades run the gamut of the equine color range. There is nobody defining color given to this type to be required for it being registered as a purebred horse and they could be with, or without, white markings.
  
  That type varies high from 13 to 15.2 hands (5-2 to 60.8 in,. or 132 to 154 cm.), most abundant in common being 13.3 to 14.2 hands (53.2 to 56.8 in., or 135 to 144.2 cm.), which is considered small to average level for a horse. The fat ranges from 700 to 1-100 pounds (49.7 to 78.1 rocks). The full size of the Paso Fino might not be reached until it is five years.
  
  The Paso Fino is frequently called being of noble appear-ance. The immediate effect that you have is that of energy, grace, and general running balance within this horse. Its tail and mane are luxurious and sweeping. The neck is sinuous, arched, and muscular. The shoulders are well-defined, but not outstanding. The trunk is short and joins with somewhat steep hindquarters. The legs look short, but effective. The type is naturally sure-footed with exceedingly durable hooves. Except the horse is repeatedly used on stone or hard areas, it is rarely shod.
  
  This breed of horse offers a natural affection, is extremely clever, and is built for work. I-t performs well in gaited activities, for demonstrating, trail riding, and for pleas-ure riding.
