Located about a half hour drive from Lima this horse farm shows off the Peruvian Paso horse (“Paso” means ‘step’ in Spanish) which is a breed known for its smooth ride, distinguished by a natural, four-beat, lateral gait called the “paso llano” – side walk and body proportions. The breed is a cultural heritage and protected by the Peruvian Government. This horse originated in the north, Trujillo City in particular. Smooth gaited horses, known as Palfreys, existed in the Middle Ages and the Peruvian Pasos trace their history from the Jennet from that time. Foundation bloodstock came from Spain, Jamaica, Panama and other areas of Central America. Once in Peru, they were primarily used for transportation and breeding stock in the north of Peru, the vast size of plantations meant that overseers needed to travel long distances, often taking days to cross a plantation. The deserts that separated settlements in the south of Peru required sturdy strong horses with smooth-gait for endurance. Careful breeding over four centuries has ensured a horse bred primarily for gait, conformation and temperament. It stands between 14.1 and 15.2 hands tall, with an elegant yet powerful build. It has a deep chest, heavy neck, a body with substance and a low set, quiet tail, clamped tightly between the buttocks which is a vital quality. The mane and forelock is lustrous and abundant. White markings are ok on the face and legs and whilst they can range in color, solid colors, greys and dark skin are the most desirable. Instead of a trot, the Paso performs an ambling four beat gait between the walk and the canter. It has a lateral gait, in that it has four equal beats and is performed laterally – left hind, left fore, right hind and right fore. There are two variations of the gait, the first is 1-2-3-4 rhythm (preferred gait); the second is faster – instead of four equal beats, the beats are closer together in a 1-2, 3-4 rhythm with a pause between the forefeet of one side to the rear of the other side is longer. This gait was utilized for covering long distances over a short period of time without tiring the horse or rider. These horses can walk 60km in a day. It is a natural gait and does not require extensive training. A unique trait of the Peruvian Paso is the outward swinging leg action, originating from the shoulder in which the front lower legs roll to the outside during the stride forward, similar to a swimmer’s arms. This amazing horse show is a must do. The horses do not wear ‘shoes’ – the paddocks are all sand. Each leg (which is skinny) hits the ground at a different time. Allergic to horses, I took a chance and ‘rode’ one (more correctly, I sat on its back and was lead around the arena by one of the horsemen. The horse is a lot bigger/wider than I expected but incredibly smooth. At 15 hands tall, it was hard to get into the saddle – some steps up and a helping hand were required. The stirrups were huge. I had no asthma reaction to being on the horse – incredible. There were quite a few very young fouls, one five days old staying close to Mum, another extremely agitated as Mum was in a barn having her feet attended to. This attraction is open 10am – 8pm Mon – Sat and 12:30 – 5pm Sundays. A ticket is $42 and includes the Horse Show and a Buffet lunch which was delicious.
