Paso Fino Horses
|
|
Donna and I enjoy
riding our beautiful Paso Fino Horses, and
El Pequeno Sueno
(Small Dreams) is the name of our farm in Magnolia,
Texas. However, between work and work on our
property, we never seem to have as much time as we
would like with our guys!
We are active
in the Texas Paso Fino Horse Association
(TxPFHA), and are very interested in Parelli Natural
Horsemanship (www.Parelli.com).
Work with these organizations is very rewarding!
To get a
better understanding of why we both fell in love
with Pasos, below are some pictures of our beautiful
horses:

Excelente Sueno (Excellent
Dream), known to us as Excel, is a
beautiful Line-back Dun (Buckskin)
registered
Paso Fino gelding with a thick black mane and tail
and four black tiger-stripe legs. He has a gentle
disposition, beautiful conformation, and an
exquisite gait. He has taken me well into my Level
3 Parelli studies, and some have called him my
trained dog rather than a horse... Our
favorite Parelli discipline is Liberty, but recently
we have been exploring Cutting as a future pastime!
While Excel isn't
our first Paso, I fell in love with him the first
day I was introduced to Pasos at Jerry Steinbrook's
farm in Magnolia, Texas. Excel was a bit too
young at that time, and still a stallion, so I
decided to purchase a gelding (see Consul below).
However, Jerry called out of the blue a year or so
later, and made me a deal I just couldn't pass up.
My initial plan was to breed him, but later decided
to geld him so he would be easier to take on trail
rides and pleasure events. Basically, he is my
boy!!!

| Consul was
our first Paso Fino. He was purchased from Jerry
Steinbrook at S&S Paso Fino Farms in Magnolia,
Texas. Consul is a dark
brown Bay gelding with a black mane, tail, and legs
with two white stocking feet on the rear. He is
twelve years old now, and while he may be a bit
stocky for a Paso, he is beautiful to look at and to
ride!
Consul is my wife,
Donna's, horse now, and he is her favorite! After riding
Quarter Horses all my life, I was amazed at the
comfortable ride of Paso's and Consul in particular!
He is an excellent trail horse & has provided us
with many pleasurable hours riding around our home.
I would recommend a Paso to anyone who is interested
in a spirited but gentle horse for themselves or
their family. They're great!!!
