Our mission: 

~In a nutshell, we aim to:

  • Promote the Paso Fino breed for pleasurable riding
  • Educate folks on what a well-trained Paso Fino really is
  • Help riders become whatever level they want to be to have a truly safe and fun experience with their Paso
  • Provide owners with honest sources and honest horses
  • Help reduce equine over population by utilizing existing animals and promoting targeted breeding plans to eliminate indiscriminate breeding

We've heard it time and time again:

  •  "I thought I was getting a ____ (level-headed, experienced, laid-back, easy-going, etc.) horse." 
  • "I just wanted to be able to trail ride ___ (with a group, on groomed trails, out my back yard, on BLM, on our ranch, by myself). 
  • "I thought this was a really nice ___ (mare, gelding) and when I rode him before I bought him it went fine." 
  • "The seller said he'd been on miles and miles of trails in the mountains with this horse and I had a great first ride at the owner's place.  Plunked down the bucks . . . hmmm . . . doesn't load in the trailer very well . . . "

And . . .

  • "Paso Finos are just too hot blooded for me."
  •  "I've seen those horses on RFD.  All they can do is just rat-a-tat-tat in a straight line.  They're beautiful to watch, but not the horse for me." 
  • "They are so tiny and delicate, I'm too big." 

And . . .

  • "I just want to trail ride.  I don't need a really well-trained horse."
  • "My horse (or I) don't need to know how to side pass, or back an L or any of that fancy stuff.  I just want to have a safe, quiet ride with my friends." 

So . . .

Why do I know these things? . . . I've been there, done that and said that . . .

And now, thanks to great trainers and true friends . . . I have Tucker (and just a few other Paso Finos)!
