Paso Fino, pure here

The biggest problem faced by the Purism, at least since I have use of race ³ n, is the lack of unity ... lack of unity among the institutions ... and among horsemen in general ... not about diversity of criteria or points and found different views ... but to put these personal differences over n of the reason we all have in common: our breed Paso Fino horses ...

This problem is so great that I dare say that most of the ills that we have pursued the course of the year ± os stem from the lack of unity and struggle ... this causes the unreliability of our records ... the problem of â € € œpanismoâ in judgments ... the lack of knowledge (and honesty) of some breeders ... the deterioration of the race and Page © loss of the best bellies at the junction with Colombians .... the lack of good editors ... the little DISSEMINATION ³ n del Paso Fino internationally ... all are products, directly or indirectly from the lack of UNIA ³ n, commitment and harmony between those responsible for directing the Paso Fino ...

But do not get me wrong, not everything has been shadows Purism as a unit refers ... during the year ± os also © n we have seen the emergence of initiatives very good to try to achieve ... initiatives â € œformalesâ €, as Confederacià ³ n and Alliance ... and initiatives € â € œinformalesâ as efforts are made day by day, both by the managers of the entities, for some riders in your face character ... But although staff has been advancing the cause over time, the reality is that the Paso Fino is in need of unity ...

This leads, necessarily, to ask:  Wha causes them to not dà © this unit that we talk so much? ... And I think that although the causes are many and varied, can be summarized into one: the lack of genuine commitment from some € â € œpuristasâ who call themselves as committed to the race ...

It is unfortunate, but trava © s of the year ± os have been some managers in the various entities have behaved as if these were his â € œfinquitasâ € private ... used ndolas to drive à º nica and exclusively your vision with staff on the Paso Fino no matter ... think and feel of your license plate ... without even considering it ... This attitude of â € œthe'm entity and or it's just € it one of the many stumbling blocks that have faced the proponents of the unit ...

There are several themes in PasoFinoForum that motivate this article ... For example, the theme  Two races! , is one where we could clearly see the difference between the Paso Fino Horse Puertorriqueà ± o and Colombian Paso horse ... but I do not mean hackneyed arguments of those who think that to advance the Purism must discredit the Colombian ... but the real differences between two races where one is not better or worse than another ... but simply differ genotÃpica and fenotÃpicamente ...

As part of the discusià ³ n on that topic, we saw the need to unite as a race â € "as did the drivers of the Colombian Paso Horse CONFEPASO found â €" if we want to promote the Paso Fino Pure Puertorriqueà ± or internationally ...

Another issue that invites reflection on the lack of unity is to Hit the Wizard ... Here again questioned â € "mere apreciacià ³ n a forumer, and without presenting any public argument in â €" decisià ³ n to use the judges certified Association of Judges in the competitions purists on the grounds that these are not n â € œcomprometidos with Razaa € ... This forumer, Adema s to suggest a possible â € œviolacià ³ nâ € the rules of Agriculture ... suggests that these judges are pro-Colombians and therefore judge with a vision â € € œcolombianizadaâ the Paso Fino ...

We must start by saying that the Paso Fino, by the very nature of sport, judgments will always be a subjective ... I mean, that depend on apreciacià ³ n of the judges ... and therefore never be n perfect ... But we Admittedly, the judges of the Association of Judges is n doing a commendable job ... with judgments fair and honest, which give awards according to the copies on the track ... not by their owners ± os, editors or past performances, ³ as happened many times in the past ...

And fÃjense, improve the quality of judges has removed the â € œpanismoâ € in judgments ... which in turn has led to the Participation of many Duea ± os that habÃan chosen not to display their copies under the system of judging previous considered biased and unfair ...

Even like that, there is no doubt that the system of judging current can be improved ... For example, if Pudia © branches implement a manual trial and Competition Rules only ones to be used in all events Purists ... a manual and a regulation to be a consensus made in a coma º n, seeking the good of the race and not accommodate my particular whims or agendas ... tendrÃamos handle, Not only the unity but uniformity in the Paso Fino ...

Another factor is one that could be improved using the vocabulary of both the judges, as the contest directors and managers to encourage skills ... Phrases like â € œfuera of modalidadâ €, â € Oeno is on the air Step Finoâ € or â € œThis trochadoâ €, meaning that the horse is out of step not admissible in the Paso Fino Pure Puertorriqueà ± or ... handle it, tea © Terms such as â € œsonoridadâ €, giving the impression of that is desirable that the issue hit hard the table ... are examples of words that must be removed from the vocabulary when explaining a decisià ³ No talk of a copy ... Year No No handle, these are isolated cases that podrÃan avoided to have a handbook of judgment clear and precise ...

How mentioned at the beginning as there are people inside and outside entities, that is n working to rescue the unit in the Paso Fino ... An example of this is seen in how demanding the process of enrollment No of copies has been in force and the zeal with which one it is implemented ... DNA tests and filiacià ³ n genetic © tica are excellent tools for debug logs ... and that besides s to be tools Useful for breeders, help regain credibility habÃan lost our records internationally ...

Another example is PasoFinoForum ... where all breeders, owners ± os, editors, directors of the various entities and horsemen in general ... some of Puerto Rico, other United States and even Colombia ... all area No nen as a community ... each contributing their ideas and listening to the ideas of others ... with respect, cordiality and harmony ... This forum is a magnificent example of the unit must be made for all facets of the Paso Fino ...

So far we have only talked about what others are doing it ... but, what about us? ... A Do Quà © can do in our face character staff? ... A Do how to we can foster unity within our organizations and within the Paso Fino? ... All â € "no matter if we are breeders, owners ± os, editors and fans â €" all we can and must do our bit ... is more s, without our effort is to be impossible to achieve unity we look ... so ...

• we must support the skills involved with our dogs Invitational where we can ... an event with 100 + copies of all entities is a sign of unity and harmony ...
• we support the responsibilities of entities other than ourselves, attending as spectators ... and giving our hand in the organization realizacià ³ n and n the event ...
• we support activities that promote the Paso Fino breed, as the workshop on genetic © ³ policy that was offered in Utuado
• we involve ourselves actively in the processes of our bodies and elect directors who are pro-unity ... the entity's us ... and our organization is as honest and committed as managers we put in front of it ...
• should be promoters of unity, prompting dialog and rejecting cratic, gossip and intrigue ...

It's time away from the attitudes dividing and embrace the ideal of unity in the Paso Fino ... Sa ³ the handle can make it happen ... If you look at our fellow Colombians are an excellent model of what it can mean the unit for our race ... Look at the Astronomical progress that has taken the race of Colombian Paso Horses ... is the drive that reached under CONFEPASO what has made possible the growth and internacionalizacià ³ n ... and I wonder why qua  © not we do the same?

A few days ago my friend Pepe Fill me stole ³ shot and It started a new topic in PasoFinoForum, Drive-Unit-Unit ... and one of my comments suggested a coalition n Purist like CONFEPASO ... a group auta ³ nomo to be responsible for grouping all entities Purists, on and off the island ... to be responsible for directing the collective efforts to promote internacionalizacià ³ n of the race ... and in turn, serves to give unity and consistency to the Paso Fino ...

This is not to replace or move the entities ... but to create an entity of government that can join forces and give URL ... In addition s to serve as a tool for dealing with formal complaints of irregularities in the judgments ... and à arbiter of be problems between entities or between the horsemen in general ... I honestly think that this is the à º nica way to achieve the unity that our race needs to grow and be promoted internationally ...

The Paso Fino lives now historic in order to achieve this goal ... both entities, as among the horsemen, the desire and talent to take this walk ... at least this is what I think ... Â what Ringtones ... © qua Ringtones think?

A transvestite © s experience with Don Romualdo in the International Show of Ponce was that empecà © to realize that my Sensing n on the Paso Fino, and those things â € "as casually as I valued in my copies were not priority for the entities that regulate the Colombian Paso Horses ... However, they ponÃan a heavy weight on other features that were merely Cosmetics © policies â € "as white markings influÃan-and not at all in the quality of the copies ...

This made Purism understood what was said by many year habÃa ± os ... that the Colombian Paso Fino and Puertorriqueà ± os are two distinct races, each with its own characteristics and specific ... It's not two versions, or two approaches, or two different views on what should be the Paso Fino ... but two different races and two countries of origin, each with a definite goal toward which to direct their particular race querÃan ...

Understanding this change ³ my whole approach to the sport ... for the first time in many year ± os tenÃa a URL clear to where querÃa walk ... and was back to my roots in the Purism ... The first thing I did was sell my mare Half Blood ... to give me the task of finding a mare pure that would serve to encastar ... and at a party for the Day of the Father, my cousin said it had found a mare that I wanted ... was called Tillage ... and then, only role Sabaa is that it was in Diorama Labriego daughter, her mother ...

Tillage habÃa been mated by Frank Delgado ... and pertenecÃa Manuela Davila, widow of Pachan Gonzalez, who provided tenÃa on a farm in Barranquitas ... Manuela not veÃa hacÃa a couple of year ± os and had decided to sell it ... but , despite being freshly © No kidding, tenÃa mare reproductive problems and none of the friends habÃa Pachan is interested in her ...

When I got my cousin to © see we have a mature mare almost seventeen year ± os, large and well made ... but under conditions Page © potholes ... in fact, I have not seen a horse so skinny like that ... The tenÃan in a small ± or stocks of land, with a Filly three or four months at his side ... and the filly, despite not being a pimp recognized Lucia quite well ...

Tillage was not able to be mounted ... and if it had been, I told the mare was not tamed ... so I © s interest between their lines ... curiosity about the genetic effect of inbreeding © tico so strong ... and the sentence on the condition of the horse ... called © Manuela ...

The â € œnegociacià ³ nâ € takes ³ few days ... I was really interested in it, but I worried about the condition n that was ... and the problems tenÃa, not to be preado ± ada, but to carry the pregnancy to rt © rmino ... but I finally I decided and went to look for tillage ...

Immediately begin to give a special care ... the first thing habÃa to do was put in condition, so I called © Manolo Jimà © nez, my vet ... he put some sera ... are dewormed ³ ... vaccinate ³ ... he arranged teeth ... and It started with a diet high in calories to help gain weight ... It is said rà ask, but progress was very slow at first ... little by little she was gaining weight and taking more s life ... until he recovers ³ all its glory ...

I remember Andrà © s called me ³ a maà ± ana and I said it had mounted tillage: â € œThis crudita, but let's see ... Â's a plane!  € ... and the truth is that the mare impressed by its finesse and speed ... and although todavÃa fighting for her mouth, she stood in the same place: taca-taca-taca-taca ...

During this time empecà © to attend events again ...  habÃa purists who seek a boyfriend Tillage! ... But more s the lines, I querÃa find a horse with a unique mechanic of movements similar to it ... and one day, at a FIFA Minan Kuilan, I've found a horse © was perfect for tillage ... called The Scaly ...

Talk © with its Duea ± or, Radama © s Cross, and collect the horse to breed the mare ... but unfortunately tillage is not ³ preado ± ada ... And when it ³ The Next zeal, we have the sad news that the horse habÃa dead ... No doubt this was a great loss for Page © Paso Fino because he was an extraordinary horse Flaky and despite its many good qualities, leaves no offspring ³ ...

Then Manolo, now habÃa begun treating tillage with hormones for their reproductive problem, I sugirià ³ not using branches inseminacià ³ n, but mounts directly ... so I we decided Kolibra II, who was in the same blocks that tillage ...

Kolibra habÃa been a champion n in the national association in the dà © each of the â € ™ 80 ... a horse very fine and muchÃsima race ... and though not exactly the crossroads I wanted to do, not me it seemed like a bad cross ... and at that time, the priority was preado ± arla ... thought we were already vendrÃan other deliveries ...

During his preado ± ez, Andrà © s ends ³ hole to tillage ... and always had the illusion of taking her to a competition, although sa ³ I were to show it ... Those who had the opportunity to see her understand what it means ³ Tillage for us ... Not only will a of the best daughters of Labriego ... but, without a doubt one of the best mares that have had Purism ...

When it ³ the time of delivery, complications arose ... Tillage traÃa a filly chestnut, like his father ... but the filly venÃa upside down © s ... how sad is that tillage always looked ³ quiet and never hinted that habÃa algae º No problem ... and when we realized it was too late and we lost both the mare and foal ...

When he died Tillage forgiveness all the interest © s for horses ... even though I had a pony Colombian sometimes went months without visiting the stables ... Let © to go to competitions ... and I'm not interested in seeing other mares, because they knew I not going to find another Tillage ...

Asa spent two year ± os, until one day i found © with a friend, Josà © Pà © rez, which is international judge and usually judge the events Purists ... Josà © empezà ³ to tell me that â € œnueva cosechaâ € foals and fillies you were viewing on the tracks ... the truth is that I spread ³ enthusiasm ... and here we are ... back again in the Purism ... to Search found © a Filly, Buenaventura, which difÃcilmente may be another Tillage ... but I enjoy rmela to the maximum ... more

Well folks ... this article the term to tell a little about my background in horses ... and although these are Sa ³ the bits of a long history, can not imagine how much I enjoyed remembering this s Friends © cdotas with you ... and many other I reserve that for now ...

For The Next article I have thought to talk about a topic we have discussed in PasoFinoForum ... and I think it is vitally important at this point that crosses historic Purism: unity in the Paso Fino ...

When comencà © to seriously study the Colombian Paso Horses, what s most caught my attention, was the way the ideal of the breed habÃa changed over the year ± os ...

If you look at the horses Colombians of dà © each of the year ± I â € ™ 60 and â € ™ 70, we see a horse more s displaced and more s raised their hands ... Even the way how to be © n was evaluated also very different from today ... At that time, one of the â € € consistÃa œpruebas of difficult to let go of the horse to escape from one end of the ring and stop dead on arrival at the opposite end with this ... will demonstrate pretendÃa € â € œbocaâ or arrangement of horse ... But from the â € ™ 80 was a phenomenon that revolucionarÃa Colombian Paso Horse forever: Cappuccino ...

Cappuccino brought another way of seeing the Paso Horse Colombian, say that â € œsubià ³ leveling € ... and suddenly all querÃan a horse that was more s short in his traslacià ³ n ... of movements more s rapids ... and more s € or â € œfinoâ short of his hands ...

In the Paso Fino (PR) also © n habÃamos seen the emergence of a phenomenon like â € "a lesser escalaâ €" in the late â € ™ 60, when Kofresà ⠀ œrefinà ³ â € a bit the ideal of our race ... but we can Cappuccino said that was who made it fashionable in the American market and international ...

For the year ± or 1992 one of the horses Colombians more s said was the CLA ssico of Commoner ... a copy impressive for its speed and short traslacià ³ n ... truly was a spectacle ass to see him standing on the table, setting the pace ... but despite that, habÃa something for me was indispensable in a true Paso Fino horse and that CLA ssico not tenÃa: naturally ...

The CLA ssico habÃa been a horse â € œtardÃoâ € ... and all sabÃan in the beginning, before â € œmeterloâ € to step habÃa been a horse trochado ... In that year ± o (1992), CLA ssico Won the title of champion show n in the Spectrum ... and the title of champion caya Reserved ³ n on another horse Moor ³ let me fascinated, his name was Juncal Oil ...

Oil was an awesome horse ... finesse, speed and brao ... I remember in the table seemed that he querÃa out below the editor ... and it accompanies a phenotype ± ado excellent color and Moor which I loved ... from then, Oil Became my â € € œidealâ Colombian Step n º year ... and now, if I had a mare Colombian Oil it would be the first on my list of pimps to consider ...

At year ± or below, in the 1993 World held in the Dominican Republic, Oil achieves ³ the championship in the category of adult horses ... and then taken to Colombia, where he won several championships and was used as a pimp ... In 1995 returns ³ States States and tells me his Duea ³ ± or, Cristóbal Rodríguez, the horse venÃa for World to be held in Puerto Rico later that year ± o ...

As soon learned that for Puerto Rico Oil venÃa empecà © to make plans to serve my two mares: Bucana and Cinderella ... but, sick Cinderella (and die more s later) and knowing the problems tenÃa Bucana, empecà © to consider alternatives ... that's when I decided to rent a womb to serve Oil ... After taking the decisià ³ n was cuestià ³ n to choose the horse ... and one day, talking to Andrà © s, tells me that the mare Wendolyn was about calving Cappuccino ... Wendolyn, Adema s of Caribbean Sunday and Accounts whites, tenÃa a foal mediasangre very good called The Nazarene ... So I will rent © the belly Quiquito (Molina) but Wendolyn died before he could serve in Oil ... Today I'm sorry for mares and Miss Wendolyn Portacoelli, which is reserved for horses Colomianos calving ... A Do Quà © had given to a peasant? ... A Can of how many champions we deprive ourselves by insisting on the intersection of the two races? ...  What about four mares Pure NTAS todavÃa œrescatadasâ podrÃan be â € €? ...

At death Wendolyn, Quiquito offered me ³ several alternatives and I opt for the artillery, a daughter of Spring IV Holster (Counterpoint) ... The artillery was a mare cebruna, very quick and excellent post ... but what caught my attention n of the crossing was double counterpoint that was given by the maternal line Oil: Password ± a / Counterpoint ... and the maternal line artillery: Holster / Counterpoint ... so I Don Romualdo llevarÃa the blood of the three copies more important s Colombian Step in the à © little: Counterpoint, Bochica (grandfather of Oil by Postan) and Spring IV (ironically, the line more popular these day s and the tenÃa my reservations) ...

Bucana as habÃamos advance, there is no ³ preado ± ada ... but artillery is ³ preado ± ada's first jump ... and on December 28, 1996 was born a colt male to whom I called Don Romualdo ... Don Romualdo was realizacià ³ n ± or a dream: the end tenÃa a son of that horse so admired ... but soon Became our favorite, not his father, but more © rites own ...

Don Romualdo was a complete horse: natural, fine, large and with a good phenotype ... but what sorprendÃa all was your collection ... a horse very, very short and very quick from the first day that we put the chair ... even going to work we were trying to walk a little more s long because We wanted to start to demand from so young ...

Of course, as every horse, Don Romualdo tenÃa its flaws ... its â € € œdebilidadâ were his later and tenÃamos to watch the angle of their helmets as if we were to increase leaves much to pisarnos began with the tip in place Heel's n ... but it was to reach à © l the Ponce International Show, which is ± alaron us his great œfaltaâ â € € ...

In December of the year or 2000 ± Don Romualdo was close to meeting the four-year hacÃa ± os ... and time it was ready, but we were waiting Ponce is to present the show s most important of Puerto Rico ... HabÃan been months muchÃsimo work and sacrifice ... and all illusions were left at the door of the prepista when we said he was disqualified for his mask ... Â was not until then that we realized that the regulation discriminates against CONFEPASO what Colombians â catalog œblanco excesivoâ € €! ...

It's funny but The Open born of the need to create a riding school â € œabiertoâ € where they could compete all Paso Fino: mediasangre, Clombianos and Cigars ... of there the slogan: â € œcompetencias open, Ã º nico caminoâ € ... but according n were growing, they were colombianizando ... and gradually assumed the vision â € € œinternacionalâ the Paso Fino, Ã º ONLY responds to the interests represented in CONFEPASO Colombian ...

Pedregal (another son of Petroleum), ridden by Jorge Suárez, He won the class and is ³ champion n in that year ± o ... so I in the midst of decepcià ³ n and courage, talk © with Jorge to send Don Romualdo Ocala ... The PFHA not governed by the rules of CONFEPASO, so I Don Romualdo podÃa compete in the U.S. without problems ... but the Intention was not competirlo, but sell it ...

Something called me ³ the attention n is how to a recognized breeder of Paso Horses Colombian told me that an alternative was tatuarle muzzle the foal, so not notarÃa â € œdefectoâ € ... I find ³ Sarc stico that those who most s advocate CONFEPASO regulations are also © n the first to look for ways to â € œdarle € to accommodate the tables on their interests ...

Returning to Don Romualdo ... never knew what happened on the quarantine, but both Don Romualdo, a son of the CLA ssico that also © n was in that group, came craftier to Florida ... and after © s of a year ± o trying to take back to your site, at the end Jorge sugirià ³ castrate me and sell it for € ... â € œpleasureâ

Honestly, I never have to take the colt to Ocala ... on the contrary, should stay with à © l rmelo I enjoy s ... In addition, although it could never compete because of his â € € œdefectoâ were many people who use querÃan as a pimp ...

Don Romualdo was the best Paso Horse Colombian I've had ... and at the same time, the greater disillusionment ³ n ... not with horses, but with the organizations that regulate this race ... Year No No handle, todavÃa tenÃa two copies Colombian ... Synchronized, a son of Prophet Besilà No ... and Dulce Maria, a daughter of Candelito mediasangre mare Miss Portacoelli ...

In The Next article I will tell Tillage and how to ... this mare is responsible for my return to the purism ...
