On the powers of Paso Fino

Posted in Paso Fino by Romualdo | 8 Comments

Not only © if this SITUATION ³ n is given in other households, but the approach of a major competition, in my house there is a lobbying process that can last from several days to weeks ... you will see No, I come from a family of horsemen and All my life I attended the powers of Paso Fino ... this race ³ n, I can be in the park from beginning until end skills ... and, between watching the events and chat with friends, I will the day as if nothing ...

But like everything in life, there â € œotra € monedaâ face ... and my wife, who is not horseman, spend all day in the park may seem like a chore ... and let's be honest, the Paso Fino competitions are extremely long and boring ... and definitely has to be done â € € œalgoâ to improve them ... because that is what this ...

The theme brings us Esq. Eduardo Quijano - Do you remember the book â € œPaso Fine: puebloâ race distinguishes a € ? - And I think presents a very interesting point ... so I me an invitation to his n to submit their input and suggestions ... and no more s delay, let © be the Atty. Quijano who will explain ...

A greeting Navidea cristorriqueà ± ± o or all faithful lovers and promoters of our bloodstock ctona auta ³: the Paso Fino breed. Naturally, this greeting is extended to each and everyone who share our passion and love for the horse. So I to my wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Prà ³ ± or New Year spero.

The propa ³ site is to share this message with those who visit this excellent page one of my concerns and with whom I want to work for The Next year ± o. This is the â € € Finoâ œcompetencia Paso. I think the â € € Finoâ Paso œcompetencia requires a radical revision both for reasons cientÃficas as sports, cultural, sociolà ³ cal and marketing. I remember an expression n from a friend who describÃa Paso Fino competition as a kind of â € œataque of a group of Indians decade Ndole carretaâ turn a €. This metaphor for I think is a good starting point. The truth is that our skills from start to that end is limited to a tour in circles, some more s big s more other small ± os, group and individual and no more s. Only when a copy excels for its ability to run with a short leg and more or less the sequence rà ask â € € œpasoâ grabs shine event. The problem is that often the event itself lost in self interest © s because the horse that draws attention, we know that this will be the winner or if he loses, we all have suspected algae º n sinister movement with the judges. We believe in the â € € œtajoâ.

Let me begin this discussion with a simple question:  Is satisfied with the way s or more © all they are competing our Paso Fino horses? and A Do Quà © changes or modifications harÃas competition to make it more s attractive and interesting for the Public and more s useful and relevant to assess the characteristics ce © practices (movements), temperamental, dressage (rein) and enhances athletic © tica (BRAO and resistance) of our Paso Fino cigars?

I think many people have dedicated algae º n time thinking about this issue. All ideas and recommendations, no matter how â € € absurdaâ œloca or you think is the idea you have, it will be much appreciated.

Only role œlocoâ € â € as we must not believe that is â € œhaciendo the same things always get results distintosâ €.

Advancement my gratitude to their contributions,

Atty. Eduardo A. Rivera Quijano

Not once, not twice ... but three races Â! (2)

Posted in Colombian , Paso Fino by Romuald | 2 Comments

In addition s commentary that presents Felipe Lleras © yesterday, also © n there are others who think it is very important because they express the feelings of our fellow Colombians about the difference between race Colombian Paso Horse and the trend â € € œinternacionalâ arising in the United States ...

It is important to note that breeders and proponents Paso Horse Colombia is no awareness of the importance of rhythm isa ³ lap of the Paso Fino, so so I no à © l â € "without the taca taca â €" we have Paso Fino ... see ...

Jogigo (Jorge Giraldo, the Kennel San Germà n, Colombia) said,

Many of the faults of good horses in his support are to present the horse â € rà € œhiperâ ask, â € the € œcomeâ public that I call â € œpara horse show sordosâ €.
We caÃdo the mistake of forgetting the first rule: P4 to win a horse the first thing to be is FINE.
The speed and â € € œparqueoâ are added to improve the visual, but may impair the fineness (taca, taca, taca).

what Josemap (Jose Martinez, Colombia) replied,

And to confuse EYE lack of support with TRACK, not even trochan, fall apart, passed two and two or lateral or diagonal or sometimes more speed s hands than feet. Is that the problem is no longer Pasitrochaos horses, but horses can not sustain the Fine and mark anything.

More appropriate ± Jogigo year s later in the same subject,

The point is the finesse.
In USA are very race, speed and much phenotype, but little finesse ³ n. Not for lack of quality, or more s missing. Not for lack of race, because we bought the best and are the same as imported from Colombia.
Point Conception is what IS a Paso Fino horse and what SHOULD BE the Paso Fino horse.
A horse that does not mark the Paso Fino (taca, taca), it will be very nice, very moved, very quick and everything i wanted s, but NOT FINE. That's the point. And if you follow the vision No horse parked, it will finish n finish, because the fine, like the speed and all too s features of any race also © n is transmitted GENETIC ‰ cally, for selection.

Many topics have been started in this forum and resultarÃa impossible to bring all beyond what has been said ... So here I bring a list of items so they can visit them yourself ...

For à º Finally, I remind you also © n in PasoFinoForum had a very good place, from the perspective of â € œPurismoâ €, were discussing the differences between the Paso Fino Puertorriqueà ± o Step Colombian and concluded that both  ARE TWO RACES !

Not once, not twice ... but three races Â! (1)

Posted in Colombian , Paso Fino by Romualdo | No Comments

During  The month I have been following a number of issues interesantÃsimos who have been discussing in the forums PasoPedigreeTV ... these issues come to root of the many horses important were toilets in the World for being out of step ... and this same trend € "good judgment would say or I â €" was returning ³ repeated in the International Show in Ponce, where there were events that were excused 2/3 of the horses on the track by not scoring four times isa ³ chronos of the Paso Fino ...

The comments have been on these issues are very important, both from the standpoint of the Paso Fino Puertorriqueà ± or from the Colombian Paso Fino, as evidenced once more the trend â € s € œinternacionalâ quickly assess the and the collection over the very rhythm of the Paso Fino ... tendency that is foreign to both races ...

This brings me to one of the most s important comments that have emerged on these issues ... NOTE: I have blackened the parts that I consider most important s, although the full story is â € œpara the historiaâ € and basically sums up my ba feel about this issue ...

GREETING.

To thank Jan, and of course Romualdo, by their very good contributions as we are learning that it is what most interests us, the weekend I was outside and forgiveness much information.

The theme as well say it's very, very interesting and I think importantÃsimo, such gatherings hurts not bring much excitement as other, entities and associations have not promoted it very clear this sort of thing, is how you can truly promote Paso Fino horses for the world.

I will not repeat the information you may very well have been exposed, I will give my Opinia ³ n from what I can conclude after reading © s.

The Paso Fino horse is her best saddle horse in the world, two countries where it is Craan horses naturally develop this kind of walking, they are Puerto Rico and Colombia, and clearly they are two very different races only share that ability naturally from fine-pitch walk in the isocrÃ-mail.

The judging of the horses in each country is different and looking for different things, even places importance on different things. This is historic.

Trying to crystallize a third trend born in the U.S., which is the result of crossing these two breeds, and that what prevails is the importance of a walk really fast, just moved, and whose end is the most important ass Spectacle and applause. From my point of view they lose the essence of what is both the Colombian as Puerto Rico, as I'm learning, and above all lost the essence of what the Paso Fino, remember 4 shots isocrÃ-mails. And if the horses for more quick and do not cut out to be 4 shots isocrÃ-mails with sorrow the soul can not be categorized as Paso Fino, and a race phenomenon.

This to me is clear, spoken Paso Horse of Puerto Rico, Colombian Paso Horse Walking Horse € â € œAmericanoâ by putting a name to This past.

Now, I think the important thing is to stop thinking that we can fit them all in the same corral, because what we are prostituting each race, and especially and most importantly losing cultural identity of each country, I think the three types of horses should be judged separately, raising and selected separately and be judged by judges from each country who understand and know the essence of each breed.

Actually made for an world championship Paso Fino horses, but the world champion n Provision must be one, single Colombian horse judging, another champion of horses only in Puerto Rico and another in horses or crossed. Asa saldrÃan three global capeones representative of each race as I think is clear is the reality. But in my point of view is a lie to say that the champion of Paso Fino is this or that, if I judge a thing as a country put aside the other, and no handle aha an actual judging criteria. And I think the result supports the world latest as soon as written, clear this is more easy to start thinking about who to blame for what happened, and the blame is to organize and try different things equally.

As for what podrÃamos called third race without todavÃa it is, or horses crossed me encantarÃa ask a favor Carlos Lopez, who for his great knowledge on the subject, being so into the American market and taking up his words, I explain Quà © is the ideal horse looking like in the U.S., more valued qua © s of a horse, four l must be the phenotype, as we hear many things, I think from what I hear and read, the criteria is n very varied, so I encantarÃa learning and knowing what to © is what they want, agradecerÃa not the answer with examples of those who consider horses â € œmostruosâ € at present, but the explanation n and rationing what is sought with the CRAA of these horses. Well in my point of view has nothing to do with what the CRAA and selection of horses in Colombia and Puerto Rico, and I think the basis of all this to clarify it you want from every race, and a handle to continue the path . Posted ³ s such disparity will bring the races is promoted throughout the world, which is as it should.

A hug

Felipe Lleras
