About Peruvian Paso HorsesPeruvian Paso


Peruvian Paso horses, or just Peruvian Horses, are light saddle horse known for their smooth ride. They are distinguished by a natural, four-beat, lateral gait called the paso llano.

Although the two breeds share ancestors in the Old World, and have some similarities, they were developed independently for different purposes. The two breeds are different and easily distinguishable. The Peruvian is somewhat larger, deeper in the body and wider. The Paso Fino is not bred for "termino" in its stride.     ...
