Peruvian Paso
The Peruvian Paso is a distinguished horse breed renowned for its smooth gait and elegant appearance. Originating from Peru, this breed is celebrated for its unique and natural four-beat lateral gait known as the “Paso Llano,” which provides an exceptionally comfortable riding experience. Peruvian Pasos are medium-sized, standing typically between 14.1 and 15.2 hands high, with a refined, yet robust build that showcases their strength and endurance. Their physical features include a broad chest, strong legs, and a gracefully arched neck, which contribute to their admirable balance and agility.
This breed is known for its lively, yet cooperative temperament. Intelligent and responsive, the Peruvian Paso is a versatile horse that excels not only in pleasure riding and trail competition but also in traditional Peruvian equestrian events. Their flowing manes and tails add to their aesthetic charm, and their coat can come in a variety of colors, including chestnut, bay, black, and palomino.
With a rich cultural heritage rooted in Spain's Andalusian and Barb horses, the Peruvian Paso is often associated with the elegance and passion of Peruvian tradition. This makes them not only a favored choice for riders seeking comfort and style but also a living symbol of Peru’s equestrian legacy.
