I mean, that our breed Paso Fino horses descended from a sa ³ the exemplary arrogant, like, for example, that race Morgan down the horse â € œFigureâ € (later called € â € œJustin Morgan, in honor of one of its owners ± os) ...
This is not quite right ... we must understand that the Paso Fino already existed, as documented in Puerto Rico long before the birth ± Sweet dream or ... but we must admit that the furor caused Sweet dreams ± o and its children, did that all too existÃan s lines in his time that were diluted in yours ... from here that all our horses â € € œmodernosâ horse down Sweet dreams ± o, mainly trava © s of their children: Battle, or Christmas Eve Guamanà ...

Returning to Sweet dreams said © ± o ... a moment ago that the â € € œrazaâ Paso Fino shows and documented, with its own identity and features well defined, s more than a century before the birth of sweet dreams ... we can ± or that à © This is the great contribution made by the lawyer Eduardo Quijano, in his book Paso Fino: race distinguishes one people ...
Atty Quijano told me a few days that this book grew out of concern for confirming whether the Paso Fino was truly a race auta ³ ctona of Puerto Rico ... in his book, tells how to horse was strongly rooted in the culture of our people ... the puertorriqueà ± zeal of his â € I € œrazaâ, which led them to defend their tradition before the horse n Espaà ± ol military government ...

For example, among the documents cited by Quijano, draws attention n the comment that in 1797 made the frank © s Andrà © s Pedro Ledra No on saw horses racing in San Juan,
The speed of these indigenous horses is admirable, they have no regular jog or gallop, but a kind of journey, a step so precipitate that the eye more attentive s can not follow the movement of their legs.

Romualdo,
I tell you the book of Mr Quijano is a literary gem that documents part of the history of our beloved Paso Fino horse. I recommend it to all lovers and fans of our sport ...
On the subject of Dulce Sueno, I commented that I dare say that 99% of existing bloodlines today in PR are famous for their 3 children; Battle Guamani and Christmas Eve, this despite the fact that DS was more than 20 children being Nino one of the most came after the 3 mentioned. A very interesting topic!

sorry to use your site but I resent the division between entities because I know purists with horse owners and editors ready to not sponsor the powers of other entities. I understand there must be a high profit sport
thanks for your understanding
That s right ... there are many problems in the Paso Fino by the lack of unity among the entities, and between the riders who make these entities ... all say they love the horse, who want to "improve the race", to be internationalize the Paso Fino ... however, everything is just words and very few people are willing to work for it ... what time especÃficamente in the controversial © micas that arose when using the judges of the Association of Judges and with implementacià ³ n of DNA testing and genetic filiacià ³ n © tica ...
Another example of this are in the situation that occurs in the NL last few months ... Is it just what happened? ... Â no! ... The people involved, Â Do they show interest © s by the Paso Fino? ... Â no! ... Here, as in all institutions, there are good people, willing to work (and actually have worked - for example, Rosa owe many of the changes in National and Purism in general) © n ... but also there are others that your unique © s interest is personal gain ... these are what make daa ± or entities to the horsemen and all the Purist movement ...
Tà º You are right, Caney ... to more also © n bothers me ... more s when it seemed like that started we were going to see is ± as of unity within the Purism, come the "vultures" (and I speak not only of the National) seeking how to can profit at the expense of the race ... I said it several times in PasoFinoForum, the Paso Fino Pure Puertorriqueà ± or is at his best in the last 20 year ± os ... is on us, the riders, make it go forward ... or allowed to throw over the floor which is built ...
