Paso Fino, pure here

A transvestite © s experience with Don Romualdo in the International Show of Ponce was that empecà © to realize that my Sensing n on the Paso Fino, and those things â € "as casually as I valued in my copies were not priority for the entities that regulate the Colombian Paso Horses ... However, they ponÃan a heavy weight on other features that were merely Cosmetics © policies â € "as white markings influÃan-and not at all in the quality of the copies ...

This made Purism understood what was said by many year habÃa ± os ... that the Colombian Paso Fino and Puertorriqueà ± os are two distinct races, each with its own characteristics and specific ... It's not two versions, or two approaches, or two different views on what should be the Paso Fino ... but two different races and two countries of origin, each with a definite goal toward which to direct their particular race querÃan ...

Understanding this change ³ my whole approach to the sport ... for the first time in many year ± os tenÃa a URL clear to where querÃa walk ... and was back to my roots in the Purism ... The first thing I did was sell my mare Half Blood ... to give me the task of finding a mare pure that would serve to encastar ... and at a party for the Day of the Father, my cousin said it had found a mare that I wanted ... was called Tillage ... and then, only role Sabaa is that it was in Diorama Labriego daughter, her mother ...

Tillage habÃa been mated by Frank Delgado ... and pertenecÃa Manuela Davila, widow of Pachan Gonzalez, who provided tenÃa on a farm in Barranquitas ... Manuela not veÃa hacÃa a couple of year ± os and had decided to sell it ... but , despite being freshly © No kidding, tenÃa mare reproductive problems and none of the friends habÃa Pachan is interested in her ...

When I got my cousin to © see we have a mature mare almost seventeen year ± os, large and well made ... but under conditions Page © potholes ... in fact, I have not seen a horse so skinny like that ... The tenÃan in a small ± or stocks of land, with a Filly three or four months at his side ... and the filly, despite not being a pimp recognized Lucia quite well ...

Tillage was not able to be mounted ... and if it had been, I told the mare was not tamed ... so I © s interest between their lines ... curiosity about the genetic effect of inbreeding © tico so strong ... and the sentence on the condition of the horse ... called © Manuela ...

The â € œnegociacià ³ nâ € takes ³ few days ... I was really interested in it, but I worried about the condition n that was ... and the problems tenÃa, not to be preado ± ada, but to carry the pregnancy to rt © rmino ... but I finally I decided and went to look for tillage ...

Immediately begin to give a special care ... the first thing habÃa to do was put in condition, so I called © Manolo Jimà © nez, my vet ... he put some sera ... are dewormed ³ ... vaccinate ³ ... he arranged teeth ... and It started with a diet high in calories to help gain weight ... It is said rà ask, but progress was very slow at first ... little by little she was gaining weight and taking more s life ... until he recovers ³ all its glory ...

I remember Andrà © s called me ³ a maà ± ana and I said it had mounted tillage: â € œThis crudita, but let's see ... Â's a plane!  € ... and the truth is that the mare impressed by its finesse and speed ... and although todavÃa fighting for her mouth, she stood in the same place: taca-taca-taca-taca ...

During this time empecà © to attend events again ...  habÃa purists who seek a boyfriend Tillage! ... But more s the lines, I querÃa find a horse with a unique mechanic of movements similar to it ... and one day, at a FIFA Minan Kuilan, I've found a horse © was perfect for tillage ... called The Scaly ...

Talk © with its Duea ± or, Radama © s Cross, and collect the horse to breed the mare ... but unfortunately tillage is not ³ preado ± ada ... And when it ³ The Next zeal, we have the sad news that the horse habÃa dead ... No doubt this was a great loss for Page © Paso Fino because he was an extraordinary horse Flaky and despite its many good qualities, leaves no offspring ³ ...

Then Manolo, now habÃa begun treating tillage with hormones for their reproductive problem, I sugirià ³ not using branches inseminacià ³ n, but mounts directly ... so I we decided Kolibra II, who was in the same blocks that tillage ...

Kolibra habÃa been a champion n in the national association in the dà © each of the â € ™ 80 ... a horse very fine and muchÃsima race ... and though not exactly the crossroads I wanted to do, not me it seemed like a bad cross ... and at that time, the priority was preado ± arla ... thought we were already vendrÃan other deliveries ...

During his preado ± ez, Andrà © s ends ³ hole to tillage ... and always had the illusion of taking her to a competition, although sa ³ I were to show it ... Those who had the opportunity to see her understand what it means ³ Tillage for us ... Not only will a of the best daughters of Labriego ... but, without a doubt one of the best mares that have had Purism ...

When it ³ the time of delivery, complications arose ... Tillage traÃa a filly chestnut, like his father ... but the filly venÃa upside down © s ... how sad is that tillage always looked ³ quiet and never hinted that habÃa algae º No problem ... and when we realized it was too late and we lost both the mare and foal ...

When he died Tillage forgiveness all the interest © s for horses ... even though I had a pony Colombian sometimes went months without visiting the stables ... Let © to go to competitions ... and I'm not interested in seeing other mares, because they knew I not going to find another Tillage ...

Asa spent two year ± os, until one day i found © with a friend, Josà © Pà © rez, which is international judge and usually judge the events Purists ... Josà © empezà ³ to tell me that â € œnueva cosechaâ € foals and fillies you were viewing on the tracks ... the truth is that I spread ³ enthusiasm ... and here we are ... back again in the Purism ... to Search found © a Filly, Buenaventura, which difÃcilmente may be another Tillage ... but I enjoy rmela to the maximum ... more

Well folks ... this article the term to tell a little about my background in horses ... and although these are Sa ³ the bits of a long history, can not imagine how much I enjoyed remembering this s Friends © cdotas with you ... and many other I reserve that for now ...

For The Next article I have thought to talk about a topic we have discussed in PasoFinoForum ... and I think it is vitally important at this point that crosses historic Purism: unity in the Paso Fino ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

For the year 1988 ± or my cousin and a partner were bringing Florida Horse for sale in Puerto Rico ... the market were rodeo fans and wagons (which were fashionable in the area south Ã), so mostly traÃan Quarter Horses, Appaloosas and Belgians ... but one day called me ³ to tell me that habÃan traÃdo few ponies, if querÃa see one for Maldy (my son, who at the time tenÃa two year ± os) ... So I after © s of two or three year ± os off the horses, I bought © a pony sorrel toast mane guajanas to Maldy ... and we call â € œBe Happyâ €, which was part of the title of a song you Maldy spent repeating, â € œDonâ € ™ t worry, be happyâ € ...

The truth is that Maldy never develop ³ taste for horses ... but Be Happy was serving ³ to awaken the mao ... Shortly after © s, my uncle offered me ³ the belly of one of his mares ... and officially, my â € œvacacionesâ € is habÃan over ...

That belly nation RocÃo ... a filly chestnut daughter of Naranjito (Naranjo / SOA ± ador / Telà © graph / GuamanÃ) in Bucana (Bucanero in Tenerife) ... RocÃo was big, pretty and delicate, but it was a mare of skills, lacked speed ... so I decide to do an experiment and a horse empadronarla Colombian who could give the speed that she lacked ...

At that time (1991) and I frequented the powers of The Open and was aware of the Colombian lines modaâ € â € OEDE ... but I was worried about the trend of Trocha i could be observed in some of these same lines ... so I I the task of finding a pimp who got what he wanted, but at the same time, it was natural in his step ...

Although spring and was the preferred line on the track, I leaned more s the line of Commoner ... the problem is that here there was not many options for encastar ... at least that's what I thought ... until I went to a Competition in Trujillo Alto where Rafi Rivera leads a horse ³ buenÃsimo that gave chivaâ € â € œuna the horse ... the horse Songbook Rafi Hirohito was called ...

This crossing went out ³ Cinderella ... a filly Berry tenÃa a trot suspended while corrÃa loose with his mother ... but as soon as the wean and put a halter ³ n with a rope, let ³ jogging and empezà ³ to mark the four days of the Paso Fino so I ... I decided to sell RocÃo and venture into the world of Colombian Paso Horses with Cinderella ...

And habÃa been a while when I learned that my uncle was planning to sell Bucana, the à º last mare was left ... but it was sa ³ I â € œuna yeguaâ €, but one of the best mares that à © l habÃa encastado ... and one of my favorite ... so I probably buying © and © Ndole to check Bucana Labriego ... gave me a foal very, very fine, but lacked the drive and later I saw in the Colombian habÃa ...

It was then that I decided to cross it with Nevado, which habÃa caught my attention for its brao and phenotype ... and more s later with Oil, one of my favorites among the Caballos de Paso Colombiano ... Bucana always habÃa had problems with ovulation n and none of these two crosses (or any public other) could give more s we try to empadronarla ... Year No No handle, Bucana was always â € œmi yeguaâ € ... which I rode every time I went to the stables ... and that you only what came to be replaced Tillage year for many years after ± © s ...

When I tenÃa fifteen year diecisà © is ± os, solÃa go most Saturdays with my cousins ​​to the stables of Dr. Josà © M. Berio in Corozal ... Cesar (Figueroa) seguÃa living on our farm, but worked training horses Dr. Berio ... and we liked to go to to jump on cerreros foals that were beginning to break ...

At that time, Dr. venÃan horses mostly by ± ador SoA line ... and two pimps were: Casanova, a son of Soa ± ador in Maja, and Mark Antony, son of Negrete on Christmas Eve II ... I tenÃa some money saved and one day I bought him a son © of Antony in the mare Countess (mother and grandmother Empress Omega Buccaneer) ...

That horse died of a comfortable lico a few weeks of buying it ... so I one day, walking by Plaza the Americas © rich, i found © to Doctor told me to fetch a colt tenÃa to give me ... and I had to wait long for the following Saturday, arriving at the farm, and Cesar habÃa gone for the horse and tied in the bathroom tenÃa ± Adero ndome expected ... The colt was the son of Casanova ... and having been a gift from Doctor, I called Gift ...

Gift was the first horse where I put into practice what Cesar teaches me habÃa machucarlo ± ado ... from ... the first stage with jaquimita rope (which very few use modern day) ... to ... and pocketed merganser In addition ... s, but usually we were bringing the horses of my uncle (Bara ³ n Valleys) to compete ... Gift © n was also the first horse with which you experience © the thrill of being in the ring competing ...

Year ± s more you later seguÃa visiting the farm of Dr. Berio ... and habÃa a group of colts and fillies of six or seven months, loose in an enclosure near the entrance of the estate ... that group, a colt that I habÃa attracted a lot of attention for the delicacy of his foot ... and though hardly up the legs of the soil, is very loose veÃa their giblets ... so I sold at gift and I bought that colt © Dr. ...

He was a son of Cialito cebruno foal to Sarah (Marina Challenger) ... It was not the most beautiful in the world s, but what I liked habÃa à © l was his delicacy and refinement ... In addition s a spectacular brao habÃa inherited from his mother ... and as the son of Cialito, calls © Cialito II ...

With Cialito II Segua habÃa polishing what started practicing with Gift ... from the first ride ... to the holed end ... and when the boloâ œtrancaba â € €, Cesar was always to give me a hand ... Also © n my cousin, Paco, who has always had an excellent hand for horses ... and innate wisdom to know four is the problem and how to solve it ...

One day, talking about horses with my grandfather, I offered ³ give me another horse ... but told me to look good because à © l querÃa it was something special ... so I with the help of Paco, we took on the task of visiting the fields of some friends ... and we saw three horses â € œespecialesâ € that we liked muchÃsimo ... the first one we saw in Vieques, in the stables of Charles Count ... was a rack of twenty months was beginning to mount ... and more s later she met as Areyto ... and second, a colt of two or three months that teaches us ± à ³ Don Charlie Heusler ... the colt was a little machine behind s of his mother and Mr. Charlie decÃa was how to a â € œrelojito suizoâ € ... this colt Caribbean was Sunday ... These two ... Charlie Earl Areyto pedÃa much ... and Don Charlie teaches us to Caribbean ³ à ± but not tenÃa for sale ...

The third colt we habÃa liked neither was for sale ... but it is my uncle, we insist and accessed ³ to sell © rmelo ... son of romps ³ n (Challenger in The Witch) in Toa ± ita ... and as was the à º last child of Toa ± ita, Tao Barà ³ n tenÃa it at home instead of on the farm ...

In this it bauticà © The Basque ... and it was a little machine ... very quick and delicate ... with a mechanic unique almost perfect ... The Basque tenÃa a full brother because Tao Barà ³ n will habÃa borrowed the mare (TOA ± ita) Marino (Rodriguez) to get a CRAA of romps ³ n à © l and returned it is the horse preado ± ada ... the colt named Marino Estate ...

At that time not We knew, but that crossing repitià ³ number of things ... they were both colts finÃsimos ... both were foals beautiful, black closed ... both were colts brao ... but also © n, both were crypt ³ rquidos, that is, tenÃa a retained testicle ...

Shortly after buying the Basque ³ Marino decided to move to Florida and was looking for a young colt to be as pimp ... I asked Cesar habÃa that will take Cialito II to the estate of Dr. Berio to recover, as a months before I habÃan stolen from the stables of Juan Ramon n and although it recovered habÃamos needed a break ...

Marino comes ³ to the estate of Berio when Cesar was riding Cialito II and then said he querÃa ... so I I decided to sell the foal and stay only with the Basque ... and some days more s later Cialito II was on his way to his new home Ocala ... This is a decisià ³ n © regretting many times, but at that time the condition n conocÃamos of the children of Italian and frolics Toa ± ³ n ...

Horses that have a testicle retained sometimes can develop temperament problems ... and being a horse much BRAO, The Basque was getting violent to the point of biting à © l it his chest when he was riding ... comes ³ to be a odyssey working with à © l ... aperarlo and even out of the cage ... so I work it every time we were less, until one day dawning of a dead ³ lico comfortable in his crate ...

© s that after the Basque had died a child of Cialito II habÃa encastado Dr. Berio with Victoria, a daughter of Soa mare ± ador ... this colt named Guerilla and was a copy of a long step and motor ... but it was while fine ... and sell it to Felo Black ³ n, who had muchÃsimos year ± os and even use it to encastar ...

Guerrilla © s after I decided to take my first â € € œvacacionesâ in horses ... holiday romperÃa to enter the Colombian Paso Horses ... but that I tell in The Next article ...
