A PORTRAIT OF PURE PUERTO RICAN PASO FINO Paintography by Michael Forbus A LIGHT NARRATIVE ABOUT PASO FINO HORSES The Pure Puerto Rican Paso Fino stands out within the Paso Fino breed for a number of reasons. Its gait is instinctual not trained. Breaks in training will not cause one of these horses to stop gaiting. The gait is foolproof. A skilled rider will enjoy the finest of the Paso Fino gaits and cadence but even a beginner with some training will soon enjoy a ride considered the smoothest, most comfortable available to today's rider. The Pure Puerto Rican Paso Fino are as exciting to ride for pleasure or competition as any other Paso Fino. However, we find that this Paso Fino has a calmness and common sense as well as intelligence and spirit. They still get themselves into tight situations as any horse will but its the final outcome that will normally come as a pleasant surprise to the experienced horse owner. QUOTE BY ROBERT SMITH SURTEES (1853) Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour. "There is no secret so close as that between a ride and his horse."
