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 very quick walk, little 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 of each race, and ASA continue the path . Posted ³ s such disparity will bring the races is promoted throughout the world, which is as it should.

A hug

Excessive speed in the Colombian Paso

Posted in Colombian , Paso Fino by Romualdo | 3 Comments

In recent year ± I come is ± Alando the problem in the Caballos de Paso Colombiano because of Trocha ... the search of copies exaggerated rapids directed, even at the expense of rhythm and smoothness caracterÃsticos the Paso Fino ... the question © when she was Colombian Paso Horses ... and more recently s, back to purism, on the theme of  ARE TWO RACES! we discussed in PasoFinoForum ... ASA as in some of the topics in this blog ...

There are two things that catch my attention n on this trend ... First, in Colombia, breeders this n much more s aware of the problem and look for animals more s defined when encastar ... for them is one thing Trail within the Step Castilian, and other modern Trail is the product of Don Danilo and his children ... However, in the American market and international not-so ... Not only because of ignorance or © if aware of what they are doing it, but when encastar there is a marked tendency to prefer examples that show the predisposicià ³ n Trail, instead of copies more natural and defined s ...

Moreover, we found a fledgling market that has been led to accept an alleged trend as something intrÃnseco Trail and Paso Fino's trademark page: â € œThe rest Paso Fino horses in Trochaâ € ... and therefore do not notice the problem they have in their hands ...

The catalyst in all this SITUATION ³ n is the search of a speeding â € "while most s rà ask, the better â €" something that sa is not bad ... but to put this consideracià ³ n on the characteristics essential in Step Fine, then threatens the race and what makes it unique ... à º

As œPuristaâ € â €, this does not affect me directly, but our horses there Trocha mode or the tendency to it, only I am concerned that this trend is reflected in the Paso Fino Pure Puertorriqueà ± o is the speed begins to value on other qualities most important s ...

Let me share with you something I read on the forum PasoPedigreeTV on this issue and called me ³ muchÃsimo the attention n ... not so new, it says the same thing come to be ± Alando makes year ± os ... but because in this Attempt says a breeder of horses Colombians: both Fine, as Trocha Pura and Trotting Galoperos ... In addition s, people who have commented so far that I write this article, is n according to their approaches ... The Topical called ALL END IS VICIOUS - ALREADY TRIED , so I invite you to visit and read what other riders have commented ...

In Colombia, almost just to look for a jog speed and energy than do not belong to that walk. The gallop, as a result was suffering serious damage ³.

Now it seems that everything is improving, because apparently there is white smoke and what to breed with no relationship to that made walking: slow cadence with good legs. The â € œerrorcito of € Whichever way we coast some 30 year ³ ± I © tico genetic back on that walk.

But I see that maybe we're getting over fine leg.

I was listing some of those â € € œenfermanâ by the speed and the energy in this walk. Â But what about the fine? Â Is the taca taca?

All this occurred to me ³ at the show yesterday, it was with a friend and said, â € œA deliberately © Mosle to that which is the most s rà ask Ena © allergy and it moved!  € I I said, â € Oeno I dare because I'm not oyendoâ €. The answer Quà © ³ A Does it matter?

 For God's sake! If the first thing that requires a paso fino horse paso fino is to sound like. If not ring for outside loop will track ...

As a paradigm the speed on the trail also © n is super important. A Can I ask Who wants © n fuck a horse well Trochador quick and ena © allergy that is tuned? This is a step where ideas are n s much more clear and the concepts s something more unified.

Why qua  © in the fine pitch many people do not care that the horses do not sound fine, provided they are rapids and ENA © rgicos?? It sa lot more love and hope then that the editors do magic to refine those genetic © matically NO tuning.  is it that kept the proportions owed may get to spend the same as in the trot?

As Cubans say Ringtones  what do you think?

Before ending this article I want to be ± wing which personally worries me and I care what happens in the Paso Fino Colombiano ... I worry and care, not only because of how this may impact on the Paso Fino Pure Puertorriqueà ± o ... but by the Carian ± o n the admiration I feel for our race sister ... and the year ± os of satisfaction I got my n copies of Paso Fino Colombiano ...

I hope and vision of Mr. Giraldo No help create awareness of this problem and the entities responsible for preserving and enhancing the Colombian Paso Horse take steps to avoid deterioration of the race ...

 Why am Quà © Purist?

Posted in Colombian , Paso Fino by Romualdo | 5 Comments

By the name of this blog â € "Paso Fino, pure here â €" it is obvious that I am â € œPuristaâ € ... but some emails I received, I realize that there are people who do not understand is this Quà © Paso Fino Pure and what it means to be a purist ... so I in this article we will try to explain a little about the history of the Paso Fino in Puerto Rico and how to movement arises â € œPuristaâ € ... and what this entails and means ...

A Does How Purism arises?

We can say that Purism conocÃa not before each of the dà © â € ™ 70 ... or put another way, that before that time, all lovers of the Paso Fino in Puerto Rico were purists ... but from that time, grew out a phenomenon that the vision cambiarÃa n overview of the Paso Fino horse on the island ... and in the world ...

Back to the late 60s or early 70s a group of horsemen habÃa in Puerto Rico that tenÃan the idea that the Paso Fino, for its high Index Page of consanguinity, was approaching a crisis ndose ... so it was proposed â € œrefrescar the sangreâ € of our horse ... and for that you select ³ Colombian Paso Horse, which at that time was thought € â € œigualâ our horse ...

By saying that they thought â € œigualesâ € I mean that the vision n prevailing in Puerto Rico â € "ASA as in the United States and Dominican Republic â €" was that the Paso Fino, such as race, tenÃa two aspects: one in Puerto Rico and one in Colombia ... and say â € HTSP pensabanâ €, for history and science have shown that although both have a point source º n and share some similar features, are clearly two different individual races ...

One of the balances of this thinking was the â € œinternacionalizacià ³ nâ € the name â € œPaso Finoâ € ... until then sa ³ identified him to the horses of Puerto Rico, while those of Colombia conocÃan as Paso Colombiano ... but from that time, the tea © rmino â € œPaso Finoâ € applies ³ so genetic © rica all horses walking in â € œcuatro times lateralesâ € ... more s year º n, during those first year ± os, in the United States reached ³ to accept as â € € Finoâ œPaso the Peruvian Paso horses, before they started their own separate registration ...

Returning to Puerto Rico ... the national association was the first institution to host this initiative ... and It was decided that although the specimens imported not podÃan compete if podÃan used for recrÃa ... and the products of these with our horses, as well as copies 100% Colombian born on the island (an example of this is Leo) only register and competirse podÃan no restriccià ³ n ...

It is curious how to in a country of cultural identity as strong as Puerto Rico, sometimes tend to accept everything foreign as better to us ... That was the case with horses Paso Colombiano ... and what initially pretendÃa â € œrefrescar the sangreâ €, in many sectors have made her a strong preference and absolute for all that was Colombian ... Not only do the horses, but also © n the tools, the style of dressage, the arrangement of the tails ... was introduced use of the sounding board and even brought â € œchalanesâ € from Colombia ... I do not get me wrong, many of these things have their propa ³ site and utility ... and there's nothing wrong with learning from the experience of others ... but I question that has been despised all that was € and â € œtradicionalâ on our race to host either everything off œcolombianoâ â € € ...

Well ... not everyone accepted the road I was on the Paso Fino in Puerto Rico and there were horsemen who opposed the changes habÃan started ... but, despite this opposition, a year ± os more s later the Federation and the Insular © No copies also accepted with Colombian blood in their records and skills ...

Over time, the Opposition was gaining ground ... submitted their reasons and motives ... and little by little, banks came to recognize that the â € œexperimentoâ € from crossing our horses Horses Paso Colombiano habÃa been a failure for our race ... Then came the task of backing difÃcil atra habÃa sa what is allowed ... especially because there was one significant number of specimens, products of these crosses, that from one day to the MAA ± ana tenÃan no place in either the entities or in the skills ...

As a result of this was born the Association n Puertorriqueà ± a Breeders' Paso Fino Americas © rica ... known as The Open, as his motto was â € œcompetencias open, à º nico caminoâ € ... The Open offered a record and a riding school open where all horses Finoâ € â € œPaso podÃan compete together, regardless of their ancestry was from Puerto Rico or Colombia ... and given the large number of horses that habÃa half blood on the island, grew up quickly ... but slowly this organization evolved into the Colombian Paso Horse, away ndose what was the Paso Fino Pure ...

It was during this time that aquatic ± à ³ the tea © rmino â € œPurismoâ € to define the movement to propose and promote nocià ³ n that our Paso Fino horses and Paso Colombiano are two distinct races ... and is called ³ â € œPurosâ € to those individuals who do not tenÃan ancestry Colombian Paso Horses ...

Sadly, by year ± os some cases â € € œPuristasâ turned to throw mud against the â € € œColombianosâ ... as if these were made denigrating grow our Paso Fino breed ... and this led to a â € œguerra frÃaâ € where â € œcaballito of € batallaâ was that the Paso Fino (PR) was a Colombian Paso race and no ... The result is projected to be false and wrong notions of both races ... including but not aware of the errors that spread ... but over time the horsemen of bandosâ € â € œambos have ido education and awareness ndose ndose on the strengths and weaknesses of both races ... and now we can speak with clarity and respect from both sides ...

Some of the consequences of that struggle year ± os was the absence of copies Cigars on the tracks â € œabiertasâ € and international ... and self-denial of the motion Purist to seek representation n internationally ... But although I honestly believe that these were wrong decisions, this s are considered based on the premise that they are two distinct races, then why qua  © compete together or be grouped together under a single international organization n? ...

A Do Quà © is being Purist?

Once we know the origin of Purism, we find it easy to understand that being Purist is nothing to believe in the Paso Fino Horse Pure Puertorriqueà ± or ... be proud of the cultural heritage of our ancestors ... and be aware that our breed of horses is à º nica in the world ... By understanding this, a Purist is willing to do what is in their power to preserve their race, defended © Ndola and was promoting © ndola ... not what other races can be and let to be ... but by their own rites as more © chairs horse more comfortable mode s in the world ...

But beware, be not to deny the Purist too s horse races, as some seem to think ... on the contrary, is knowledge of other races ... especially those most close to the Paso Fino s Pure Puertorriqueà ± or ... really can be Purist heart ...

 Why am Quà © Purist?

I start by saying that in my face character personally, I am pro horse ... no matter their origin or race ... without looking to step walk, jog or trail ... without distinction or discrimination on their colors or marks ... regardless if it's chair or shot ... I think every race has its race ³ n and its function will ... and I prefer to look for positive qualities in each, instead of looking for weaknesses or faults ...

In the specific case of the Paso Fino Colombiano Pure and Step ... well I can tell, I've had both ... until I crossed two races ... and transvestite © s of the year I have learned ± explores the differences between them ... by So today I can say without fear of contradiction, that there are two distinct races, both fenotÃpica as genotÃpicamente ... Sa is true that both have a source point º n, but each country gave special attention and cultivated ³ qualities on others ... and in the case of Step Colombian, there s more outside influence of other races ... resulting in two races, although similar in their walk tÃpico are different between sa ...

Next you'll address some of these differences ... but I want to make clear that being different, a race is not better or superior to the other ... but each has its own particular quirks ...

First we find that the Paso Fino s Pure is more delicate than the Colombian Paso ... this is due in large part to the preference of Colombian farmers by € â € œsonoridadâ their copies ... and this â € € œsonoridadâ is achieved with a footprint more s strong and yes ³ outlet ... which contrasts with the smoothness that have preferred breeders puertorriqueà ± os ... El Paso Colombiano, however, is more s fiery ... and now, more s rà ask its execution n that The Paso Fino Pure ... also © n, as a rule, we can say that the Colombian Paso Horses resortaje show better in hind ...

In the colors also © n see differences between the two races ... for example, Purism, fronted by horse and down White Sox, has a strong genetic © policy towards private labels ... or as we saw in one of the topics in the forum A high percentage of them have the sabino gene ... The Colombians, unlike the purists prefer color copies sealed ... and consider the brands â € œexcesivasâ € as a serious defect ...

It is important to be ± to note that the PFHA, which currently dominate the specimens of blood of Colombia, using a â € œstandardâ € based on the regulations puertorriqueà ± os ... and the American market Not only tolerated, but prefers â € œcromoâ €, as they call the white markings ... In addition s show interest © s by the colors â € œdiluidosâ €, such as bays, canaries, Cremellos, etc ... and copies pinto, both Sabines as tobiano ... This acceptance No color in the United States Purist and the argument that discrimination against horses CONFEPASO Pure for its brands, has initiated a change in the way of applying the competition rules, being more tolerant s œblancoâ â € € ...

But the difference s most important â € "at least for me â €" is the natural step in the Breeders puertorriqueà ± ... I take pride in saying that foals are born walking Paso Fino ... for them this is what defines the race ... a copy of Paso Fino is born and dies Pure Paso Fino walking ... and the absence of such naturalness in the Paso Fino is a serious fault in the copy ...

In Step Colombian this feature does not have the same weight as the Purism, as how to share of the inheritance genetic © tica of race accepted, understood and tolerated a tendency to Trail ... so I hear that the horse Step (Fine) Colombian œdescansa in â € € ... and Trochaâ Trail in sa same, as discussed in the articles of Trail Talk I and II , is a different rhythm to the beat of the Paso Fino ... or in the case of horses Step prefer this œmodalidadâ € â € is an absence rate of race trademark page ...

During the year ± old who had horses Paso Colombiano always worries me ³ see existÃa a marked tendency to accept more and more s the Trail within the Paso (Fine) Colombian ... instead of seeking the purity of the Paso Fino in the race , is looking for speed over all s features too ... Â and is like judging, giving it more weight at speed s at the same rate of Paso Fino!

However, for more naturalness was and is the basis of both race ... because if you lack the pace trademark page of the Paso Fino, then we lose what gives meaning to the two races ... so, the encastar with Colombian Paso Horses, I concerned to choose horses that showed that naturalness that I valued so much ... and I walked away from those who showed a tendency to the Trail ...

Until one day understand that my preferences, what I was looking at my copies and features that I considered when looking for a cross for my mares ... departed from the general trend in Step Colombian veÃa ... and much more coming s what I conocÃa of Purism ...

When to me it was realized that the Colombian Paso Horses will always be a Colombian Paso Horses, â € not € œPurosâ ... and if I wanted was a copy that had the qualities that habÃa known and loved in Horses Paso Fino cigars, then the only place where podÃa find was back in the Purism ...
