How do you feel about horse-drawn carriages in major cities?
They should be allowed as they always have been.
They should be regulated better to make sure the horses aren't overworked.
They should be restricted to parks or low-traffic areas.
They should be banned from cities. It's not safe for the horses or people.

Gaits of the Paso Fino

One step, two step, three step, four. See and hear the unique four-beat lateral gait of the Paso Fino in this exclusive video. The Paso Fino’s four-beat lateral gait comes naturally to the breed and can be performed at three different speeds and degrees of collections, known as the Classic Fino, Paso Corto and Paso Largo. The video gives you an introduction to the Paso Fino’s gait, with demonstrations of these three variations. Observing the rhythm and cadence of the breed’s gait makes it easy to understand why the Paso Fino is a comfortable mount on trails and a facinating horse in the show ring.

For more information, visit the Paso Fino Horse Association website.

Paso finos feel like floating on air! You can even ride without a bit or even without a bridle and the horse will hold the neck vertical. There is no need for strong bit contact! Anyone who is ever lucky enough to ride a paso will never want to sit on anything else. They are also the most amazing and willing breed. I wouldn't want any other!

I have severe back problems and love to ride horses. Usually not a good combination. I just recently aquired a Paso and it truely is the smoothest horse I have ever rode. Their gait is not rediculous, however it might not be for everyone. These horses are, to some, just what the doctor ordered. They are very eager to do what the rider wants. I recomend the Paso Fino breed to anyone who likes a long pleasure ride on a horse that loves being rode.
