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.

I love Paso Finos! I love their spirit, their intelligence, and their sweetness. My Paso is gettin on in years and I haven't ridden him in awhile due to his injury and my own health problems, but he has a home with me for life. Some of my fondest memories are of riding him on mountain trails. We floated as if on air. He is so sure footed--always taking care of the both of us. I want to get back into riding and am looking for another Paso. I've ridden Icelandics, TWHs, and other gaited horses. I only want to ride a Paso.

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!
