About the Paso Fino competitions ...
Posted in Paso Fino by Romualdo
Not only © if this situation ³ n arise in other homes, 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 Paso Fino Competition ... for this race ³ n, I can be in the park from start to ending the powers ... 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 horses, 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 needs to be done â € € œalgoâ to improve them ... because that is what this issue ...
The theme brings us Esq. Eduardo Quijano - Do you remember the book â € œPaso Fine: puebloâ distinguishes one race € ? - And I think presents a very interesting point ... I handle an n his invitation to submit their input and suggestions ... and no more s delay, let © be the Atty. Quijano who will explain ...
A greeting navideà cristorriqueà ± ± o or all faithful lovers and promoters of our race horses ctona auta ³: Paso Fino breed. Naturally, this extends greetings to all and everyone who share our passion and love for the horse. Asa that I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Prà ³ ± or New Year Spero.
The ³ prop site is to share this message with those who visit this excellent page one of my concerns and you want to work for The Next year ± o. This is the â € € œcompetencia Paso Fino. I think the â € € œcompetencia Paso Fino Revision requires a radical both for reasons scientists as sports, cultural, sociological ³ cal and marketing. I remember an expression ³ n from a friend who describÃa Paso Fino competition as a kind of â € œataque a group of India gives back to the European Commission using one Carretão €. This goal metaphor 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 great s more other small ± os, group and individual, and nothing more s. Only when a copy excels for its ability to run with a very short section and more or less the sequence rà ask â € € œpasoâ grabs event shine. The problem is that often the events as such loses itself 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 movement claim with the judges. We believe in the â € € œtajoâ.
Let me begin this discussion with a simple question: Does this s satisfied with the way or more © all who compete our Paso Fino horses? and A Do Quà © changes or modifications harÃas competence to make more s attractive and interesting for the Public and more s à º useful and relevant to assessing the characteristics ce © practices (movements), temperamental, dressage (laughing) 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, will be greatly appreciated.
Only role œlocoâ € â € as it is we must not believe that â € œhaciendo the same things always get different results €.
Advancement my gratitude to their contributions,
Atty. Eduardo A. Rivera Quijano
Greetings to all. First of all, Congratulations on this à © Little navideà ± a. Thanks to Lic Quijano for initiating this important issue.
Through an editorial I wrote in my journal, try © raise awareness about the importance of re-introduced into the Paso Fino competitions the event of general conditions, also known as © n "Performance". So far there have been no changes and continue with your boring entities format.
I have been insisting on this for several reasons: first - it was a really fun event and a favorite of the public, second - contrary to what is said not all horses of our race are "fine", the third - this event would open a new market for our horses abroad.
Within the movement of the horse-of-way in the United States more events n s Participation and modalities that are more s like, "pleasure" and "performance". I think our Puerto Ricans ± o pure horse can make a unique role in both categories, but due to lack of initiative entities that opportunity may not come to our horse.
The event may help Conditions monotonÃa change in our competitions.
Greetings to Raphael
First, I express my opinio ³ n on Rafael's excellent magazine published in the interests of our race horses ctona auta ³. Without a doubt, is a product of altÃsima quality. I think it's very important that we support this initiative and business education so important. S In addition, I have met Rafael and is an advocate not only of the Paso Fino horse but the values inherent in this breed. Do not forget that the "Paso Fino" is a model of harmony and balance Biodine monkey. This can be transferred to our life as the search of balance. Yes. Balance.  Is not à © ste the secret of auta © ntica health and happiness? I think so. Rafael has understood very well that behind s of this race horse is like speech / proposal à © tica and spiritual, the search of balance and harmony in human relationships, the relationship ³ n of humans with the Natrualeza in the relationship ³ n with ourselves. Therefore, the Paso Fino horse and horse breed is also auta ctona ³ © n an appeal to the path to "bring order to life and put life in order." à º In this last sentence summarizes what is a project of holiness. Asa teaches us ± à ³ ³ dismissed the priest at Mass, "Requiem" to our beloved "Pacho" Gonzalez, RIP
Thanks Rafael for your comments in support of this iniciatvia dialogic. I am very attentive to all contributions. We have a recommendation n is the reestablishment of the "events" of "General Conditions".
Let's see what other suggestions can reach. Also I would like to know © n those who support this idea. If s is in agreement with this suggestion or not s agreement, in any case I'd like to know your opinio ³ n. Also we can ask © n A Do qua © events which are offering our "skills purists" should be eliminated or mÃnimos requirements must be met to open an event and be declared void? Â What competitive rules or standards you believe to be inserted to ensure that every event to win the best example? These are just some provocative questions. You can send your replies or more s questions.
I would like to know also © n the impression of other people as Romualdo's wife going to the Paso Fino competitions but this is a © s primary interest. In other words, the viewer is not so identified with the sport or to race. These people are, especially for horse lovers of Paso Fino breed, a group of vital importance. Do not forget that we are in the background while preserving a genetic heritage © tico and while we get support from the Public a diverse, greater l à © à © success.
Thank you all. I assure you that with all this material will work during this year ± o.
God / Trino bless all. Merry Christmas and Year spero Prà ³ ± o Nuevo.

When we talk about the way How are our competencies we need to recognize that:
(1) are € for â € œtediosasâ rider who is not;
(2) start very late, and therefore, end up at dawn;
(3) we have too many events, very similar to each SA, which makes Difficult year ± add new events.
One way to reduce the number of events will reorganize the staged events by age and eliminate classes C, B and A ... understand that race ³ n of our Classification No current is prop ³ site give more s opportunity â € "entia © LoAs â € œpremiosâ € â € "to the units that normally do not alcanzarÃa a first place ... this prop ³ site may take two or three races â € œGrado Bâ € in the year ± or ... they will have a requirement that the participants had not won any public first and championship for the year ± o ... when compared with the HIPAA ³ drome, we may say that they are œmaidensâ skills â € € ...
As I said on the subject, my wife is not a rider and she, events more s enjoy are the â € OEDE puebloâ € ... The reason n for this is that horses do â € OEMA s things € during the competition: Step short stride, etc ... The inclusion n of events General Conditions proposed Rafael will be a way to bring variety to the competition ... but this event Provision must focus to the functionality of the horses, as was the event in its infancy ... gentleness ( jump, turn around, get off), different gait with their respective transitions, evidence of difficulty in proving the reins of the horse ... I wanted to make this clarifications ³ n because in America, although initially the event â € œPerformanceâ € is based ³ in Conditions event currently has another vision and site ³ prop ...
Likewise owed may include another event to showcase the versatility of the breed ... including the gallop to the air too s (step short and long), it may include some low-level jumps, speed test or some similar to those made in the rodeo ... the idea is to show that the Paso Fino horse is able to do other things besides walking in circles s ... so this event, as the General Conditions may be focused on promoting our race outside of Puerto Rico (internationalize) ...
I think Bella Forma events no longer have the same roots enjoyed year ago ± 25-30 s ... draws you handle that perhaps may be reduced to ponies / horses and fillies / mares ... AA º n handle, I think it is necessary to give importance to the conformational ³ n of our horses and mares ... so sugerirÃa in the championship events should be included as part of the criteria for judging, the conformational ³ n general of the specimen: height, plumbing, etc ... we understand that being â ³ nâ € € œcampeà be much more s to have good legs, we need to find horses œcompletosâ € â € to be worthy representatives of our race ...
Some events that seem â € OEDE rellenoâ € â € "and I forgive those who compete in them â €" are those of foals and colts to rope ... there are few competing and if we look to the public are very few No earrings are these events ...
I think once a year ± or perhaps at the fair Sweet dreams ± ou another competition endorsed by the Department of Agriculture, should reward the top 5 stallions and mares of recrÃa ... this will be a way to recognize the efforts of breeders and encourage the improvement of our race ... how to choose this stallions and mares owed may be through © s of a system of scores ³ n, which are assigned points to the units that compete during the year ± o ... handle the stallions and mares acumularÃan points for children who are competing © n ...
Another way to add variety to our responsibilities owed may be changing the format of the events of Horse-riding ... now follow the same patterns ³ n of an event of Paso Fino ... but you can change the evidence of difficulty ... or is owed may ask participants which implements the copies on the track ... this also s variety, ayudarÃa to better prepare our young people ... to be a horse is much more s to maintain a good position on the chair ...
Institutions should ensure start time and skills to lengthen unnecessarily ... not very long breaks, long time between events, formal events ... all this has exaggerated the effect of making our skills s more boring than they already are ... plus s, ending a competition late at night or at dawn deprived most of the public to see the championships, and with them the best representatives of our race ...
Another thing that I need to implement is to make requisite for entry to all our dogs are © n registered in the Central Agriculture, with its DNA and Filiaci ³ n genetic © tica at least tramitacià ³ n ... is more s, I extenderÃa this demand year ° n to closed skills entities ... that a copy without DNA and genetic Filiaci ³ n © tica not be allowed to participate ...
There are many other things you can do or change, and we need to know your opinio ³ n loop ... I invite you to post in this topic ...
I understand someone bothered to review puristas.mi entities animals should be tested skills and not under the coach.
perhaps a rise and fall, as horses do not walk once igual.tal changing terrain. The idea is to demonstrate the skills of our raza.felicidades and good health in this new year.
This question is for Mr. Quijano, in the "author's biographical notes" in the book mentions a white mare called Airplane. This mare is the mother happened to the mare (Fed 832) The Warbler (X Airplane Candy Jr.). I congratulate you on such a great book, just buy an original signed copy for my personal use. There are a lot of important information.
I remember going to small ± ay powers when everyone rode their horses and racing gave friends and family, I remember enjoying the skills of people and see how much people were screaming for people's favorites. It was a family event where everyone had something to do.
In the competition which was held in July in New Jersey had an exhibition of a specimen showing the versatility, jumping a jump tube passing through an area of ballas in reverse without graves, had to show stride, canter, the event glass full, there was also a serpentine, really enjoy this exhibition and it was something different. The Paso Fino horse is a horse saddle, working not just exhibition.
Good news!
I just found out that the federation is seriously considering General Conditions include events in future competitions ... In fact, at the Festival of Champions is also considering holding the event ...
It's a super important issue for us because it is part of our culture and is a healthy sport that can share all the family. As for wives who are not fanatical alternatibas not look that serious at that moment ism, it would go to a day passes that they feel excluded by their lack of interes.Deberian the organizer wife and each other to decide which events will no longer be disfrutar.Asi want his conscience to make us spend all day and night without enjoying. On the other side for the good of the sport agree that should be reorganized and that is not so much with the already used faoritismo ganadores.Podriamos be naming names here but this is to remain a gentleman's sport, obiamente for many of these is a business and many are inclined to their favor.Debemos for the good of the race animal that might disqualify apoto race and yet are discarded because they do not prepare loa "BIG Fulanito the sport." does not lessen their knowledge and I applaud him but not the opportunity to chop well with a horse with his illusion and that illusion is left in a will or a 5th lugar.Que about success rather the fear and insecurity that comes a Chichi or someone of a good animal.Esta tablaso is one of the reasons why people with good conosco animals and not compete because they do not trust the judges and the favoritism that is in the competence of here.
