  When Christopher Columbus landed in the New World in 1492, he found a continent without horses. After time for Spain, upon his return to the Americas, h-e brought back stallions and mares from Cordela and Andalusia. These horses were a combination of Andalusian, Barb, and the now-extinct Spanish Jennet. The resulting offspring of this combination was a horse with an extremely clean and comfortable running suited to the various landscapes of the " New World ". Because of a feature brought by the Jennet, of moving the most desirable features along to its offspring, the horse quickly became preferred by the Conquistadors. It was the inventory of the Paso Fino type. The type established a spot in the history of Western Civilization, being cited as crucial in the cure, exploration, and development of the Americas.
  
  Within the 500 years since the introduction of the founding stock in the Western Hemisphere, the Paso Fino has been selectively bred and polished. And though they can be located elsewhere Peru, in South America, claims the most popular and finest bloodlines with this breed.
  
  Probably the most remarkable characteristic which makes the Paso Fino unique is the pat-tern and even cadence of its instinctive 1-2-3-4 gait. The hoofbeats are separately and clearly seen since the horse moves. The action is horizontal and easy, in place of straight. Once the horse is in motion the rider feels very little, if any, up-and-down movement. This most unusual running is performed at three speeds:
  
  Common Fino - Used for display purposes only, this is actually the same forward rate being a slow walk. The horse is balanced and collected. Watching the knee action is exciting.
  
  Paso Corto - that is similar in rate into a trot. It is an average speed, yet allows someone to cover a great length in leisurely fashion. Due to the glow of the stride, both horse and riders can go for hours relentlessly.
  
  Paso Largo - this is a faster rate with a longer stride. The actual speed is different for each horse as it can reach its top speed in coordination with its running and speed.
  
  Information and Conformation
  
  The Paso Fino's colors run the gamut of the equine color range. There's no body defining color given to this breed to be required for it being registered as a horse and they may be with, or without, white markings.
  
  This type varies in height from 1-3 to 15.2 hands (5-2 to 60.8 in,. or 132 to 154 cm.), with typical being 13.3 to 14.2 arms (53.2 to 56.8 in., or 135 to 144.2 cm.), which will be considered small to average height for a horse. The fat ranges from 700 to 1100 pounds (49.7 to 78.1 rocks). Until it is five years of age the entire size of the Paso Fino may possibly not be reached.
  
  The Paso Fino is often described as being of noble appear-ance. The immediate perception that you have is that of power, grace, and general running balance in this horse. Its tail and mane are lavish and flowing. The throat is sinuous, arched, and physical. The shoulders are well-defined, although not outstanding. In case people desire to discover extra resources about El Paso Times, there are many libraries people should think about pursuing. The rear is short and links with slightly steep hindquarters. The legs appear short, but strong. The breed is naturally sure-footed with acutely durable hooves. Except the horse is constantly applied to steel or hard areas, it's seldom shod.
  
  That wonderful breed of horse offers a natural love, is very clever, and is built for work. I-t performs well in gaited activities, for showing, trail riding, and for pleas-ure riding.
