Puerto Rico has its own unique breed of horses, the Paso Fino horse, a beautiful, naturally-gaited horse whose exact origins are uncertain. Some Spanish authorities feel that the horse is a descendent of the Berber, the Andalusian and the extinct Spanish Jennet. What is known is that in 1510, Captain Martin de Salazar brought some horses under the orders of Puerto Rico's first governor, Don Juan Ponce de León.
They come from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Columbia and Venezuela as the original countries. The Puerto Rican Paso Fino is the most well known and has been developed as a show horse with a great deal of style. Gaited horses come in many varieties, but none surpass the quality and smoothness of gait experienced with the Paso Fino breed. The Paso Fino exhibits this quality from birth, with foals only hours old performing the perfect four beat rhythm the breed is noted for. Paso Fino horses come in all sizes, shapes and colors. The Paso Fino became a horse that carried itself with much pride, or "brios" and the unique short strided, rapid footfall of the classic Fino or Fino Fino became prized in their native lands. Today The Paso Fino's are used in all equine disciplines and are unequaled when it comes to the luxurious ride that they produce.
If you'd like to experience the wonderful smooth ride of the Paso Fino Horse, I'd recommend the following company:
