Don Romualdo ...

Posted in my horses by Romualdo

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 ...

Petrolero del Juncal

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) ...

Don Romualdo

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 ...

    Just as an aclaracià ³ n ... there Paso Fino Pure Puertorriqueà ± o Paso Fino Colombiano ... many people tend to confuse them or think they are the same ... but they are different races ... I've had both and the article where you leave your comment relates to the PF Colombian ... but the blog and the majority of the articles refer to pure PF ± Puertorriqueà or ... just clarifying for you to have this in mind when reading other articles on the blog ...

    Moreover, many congratulations on your horse ... Jorge is a very good editor so I is in good hands!

    Greetings gentleman. Lei several of his articles in this our page and I'm glad you have defenders of our race with that conviction you have. Of Petroleum, told him that at 16 or 17 years was the first time I saw him, in a magazine 4 times. Always dreamed of having a child of it, especially when I saw him in the Second World CONFEPASO in San Juan. That phenotype, size and had a staggering tread softly.

    He commented also have had the pleasure of seeing me on the ski town of Aguada to Nazareno specimen (Cacique Maitama x Wendolyn) that caballazo! Not that this colt was that if I am wrong but not owned by Fulgencio Rodriguez of Arecibo. That day was faced with a child of Spring Constitution called Napoleon IV of the R, that battle lords. Overcame the Nazarene, then I saw in the world, and disappeared after.

    One last little thing, I had a neighbor when I was growing up in Aguada named Wilfredo Acevedo. He had a famous horse called Digital. If I remember correctly was the daughter of the Witch, and won very many championships. Even in my village, until a little while she had a wall in front of a ballpark.

    Good luck, and I say that I hope to own some pure horse a few years.

    Hello Jaime ...

    I remember well the Nazarene and Digital,  animals both very good! Oil is one of my favorites from that à © Little, their phenotype, BRAO, finesse and naturalness are much needed in the Fino Colombiano ... I confess that sometimes I just want to get me a Colombian mare and take her another HARC before we go!

    Purism has improved greatly in the last few year ± os ... partly because we kept the bellies of our mares producing animals Cigars (in the past, many mares to produce Pure is ponÃan mediasangres). Now, I think I, the great challenge of purism is to unify all entities to walk towards the same end. That task is not easy because there are many vested interests, but here we go ...

    Well, here's your house ... and I hope to see you soon with a Purito.
