[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 59500, member: 9"] The Peruvian Paso is from Peru following its introduction from the Spanish breeds (Andalusian, Friesian, Barb, Jennet) and has been essentially "Pure" breed over the last several hundred years. The first major introduction in the USA was in the 1950's. In 2002 it was estimated there were about 20,000 registered in the USA, Canada, & Europe with about 15,000 more registered in Peru. They come from three major regions in Peru: Southern, Northern, & Lima haciendas. The Peruvian Paso is the only pureblood horse breed in the World that has "Termino" (a swimming type motion of front legs, originating in the shoulders). This gait is 100% inherited among pureblood PP's and is evidenced shortly after birth. The Paso Fino is from the Caribbean Island areas and also has Spanish blood. It's gait is short and perhaps "choppy" in appearance; however, they are also smooth riding. If a Paso Fino has "Termino" it is considered a "defect" in their bloodline. Both horses are small in stature. [/QUOTE]
