Peruvian Paso Horses
The Peruvian Paso Horse is an equestrian jewel inherited from the Viceroyalty of Peru, a product of five hundred years of natural and functional selection that entered Argentina in the XVIII century.
Its genetic inheritance combines both the features of the bereber horse —which gives it its endurance and tendency to amble— and the Andalucian horse —which provides it with its proud gait y arrogant air.
In the gait of the Peruvian Paso, known as broken ambling, the legs of one side rise at the same time and the footfall is first hind and then front, which results in a four-beat lateral gait.
This gait, also called “paso llano” (even gait), produces a rhythmic and smooth pace, in which the horse’s centre of gravity remains practically motionless, providing a comfortable and harmonious ride, but proud and arrogant
The smoothness of the mouth and docility of temperament make the animal be eager to offer its brio (spirit) and strength to the rider, which produces a perfect blend of great beauty and appearance.
These qualities, together with its endurance and rusticity, merge in the Peruvian Paso Horse to create a perfect combination of exquisite elegance and smoothness in the ride. Thanks to the its even gait, the rider can enjoy long rides without absorbing the impact on his body.
