Feria del Campo

Posted in Paso Fino by Romualdo | 2 Comments

A few weeks ago took out the Feria del Campo in the Convention Center in San Juan ... the activities began Friday, with the Breeders' Convention took place ... Saturday Andadura exhibitions, Salto, rodeo and other equestrian disciplines and ... Sunday was the Paso Fino competition that gave name to Fair ... What I can tell? ... The activity was a success, both in public attendance (well as promotion of our race) and the quantity and quality of individuals who participated ... in short, a long time since I saw a competition as brilliant as this ... CONGRATULATIONS to the Federation and vigor Magazine!

I thought bring a "report" graphic Fair Field ... but I confess that I did not like the pictures I took (about 400) ... remember that I am not a photographer, so it seems that there was something wrong with the camera options and I did not realize until I looked at my house after the competition ... even so, I made a choice of mejorcito for you ... at least they can get an idea of what happened there ...

Visit to the window

Posted in Paso Fino by Romualdo | 5 Comments

Looong time ago that he owed a visit to my friends and Irene Sánchez Tique ... so this weekend we had a walk through the town of Hatillo, where is located the Ventanita Hacienda, home of Grand Champion Lineage d'Excellence ... The property is beautiful and cozy ... and I must confess that I do not want to go!




As you can imagine, Lineage is the king of the house ... Tique allowed us the privilege of riding it, even though the horse is in training for months and not working ... this great horse is a champion in every sense of the word ... was rhythmic, with a rein short and unsurpassed ... in the photos appear Andrés Narváez (professional editor) and his daughter Denise (veterinary student) ...



Lineage is one of the best horses are there in the purism at the moment and one of the pimps that more has to bring to the race: beyond, vigor, nobility, size, phenotype and race ...





Among the children who are competing Lineage is Magic Criolla, one of the fillies that is dominating the category of young fillies ... and between the new strain which will debut this year that there is "cream" ... In addition, the colts and fillies born this year in the window promise to follow the footsteps of his brothers ...



Lineage addition, Tyche allowed us to mount a mare Colombian Nevado daughter ... good mare, as well as beautiful ...





Well, you can see more pictures of Lineage and the visit to the window by clicking here ...

And the horses "middle" what

Posted in Colombia , Paso Fino by Romualdo | 7 Comments

Atty. Eduardo Quijano, author of â € œPaso Fino: race distinguishes one puebloo €, sent me ³ a review on the subject of cigars from here, of cigars from there and that they are in the middle ... Eduardo Nostradamus directs his ideas, but I think his writing transcends what we were talking over there, well you decide to publish it as a new topic / article ... do not forget to read that here there is much to ponder ...

PS â € "Eduardo: Nostradamus does not believe in â € œThe of MeansE €, that tà © rmin as watersports ± à © I to signify the mestizos who tà º you refer in your letter ... Let's say that the position of our friend Nostradamus is there are no cigars here OEDE € â € â € OEDE pure or over there â € ... à © l because for everything that smacks of berberÃsco copy, even a whiff of year 500 ± os, â € œpaso fine is € ... As time, a very convenient approach to advocate for a breed of â € œlas Amà © ricas € ...

* * * * * * * * *

This item or issue on those copies of rhythmical patterns undefined, calling œNostradamusâ € â € â € the œmedioâ € is one that provokes an interesting reflection ³ n. I am very aware that due to advances in biology and molecular therapies Genetic © cies in proximate dà © ed the husbandry scientists from plants and animals are dealing with completely different strategy with which it has handled the last one ever. Concepts such as â € œseleccià ³ n natural € or even â € œseleccià ³ n artificial € will be n thing of the past to the fact that you can make an identification and selection n specifically of genes (alleles) in a laboratory and make combinations specifically, pre- characters and thus create an individual measurement made you pay for the procedure. No chance or probability. With this system everything is predetermined. Even these alleles (characters) can be obtained from different parents and thus, the new husbandry owed may be in its chromosome a multiplicity of genealogists. Frankly, if this is something positive or negative. But the truth is that science in the field of molecular biology is making strides and every day we break news that scientists all our ideas and beliefs about the possibilities in the field of reproduction in the animal kingdom.

 Will it be possible to create a new breed of Paso Fino in a laboratory?  Will it be possible to improve the Paso Fino breed through genetic therapies © cies? I am no expert in molecular biology but I sense, in light of the information published No, that it is now possible or will be soon.

But while this is done we have to work with the more traditional and orthodox © all arising from the principles and laws of Mendelian genetic © tica.

The issue that we raised € â € œNostradamusâ is whether it is appropriate or not, use as breeding those horses œintermediosâ € â € or â € œindefinidos in a while andaresâ € because â € œpaso walk a fine € and â € while another œtrochaâ €. An interesting topic and probably very much on the practice to uncontrollable or between Hybrid Hybrid crosses in the breeding of horses engaged in the sport of Paso Fino. I imagine that there are thousands of copies as described by œNostradamusâ € â €.

We will try to make some deductions à © l what we face.

a. I conclude, first, what s more obvious, that not all horses that compete and exhibited as specimens of fine € â € œpaso nor are œpasoâ € â € â € nor € œPaso Fine.

b. I gather, secondly, that a horse œtrochaâ € â € â genes may have œpaso € € fine but not for that horse € â € œpasoâ much less â € œraza Paso Fino €.

c. I gather that this horse â € œtrochaâ € with genes of â € œpaso fine € if it is one that can â € œhabilitarâ € mechanic nicamente, psychological ³ Logically and Biomec nicamente to run a similar motion or similar to that shows the horse race Paso Fino through surgeries, shoes orthopedic © tips, the use of special equipment (fleshy flap, chains, weights, pulleys Held Electric sticas, etc.) fittings and alterations rhythmical creating different distances stride cycle of translational ³ n of the horse. All these tà © cnica seem to work until that poor horse € â € œintermedioâ been deprogrammed either because you need € or â € œdescansarâ a particular episode because it got too nervous. At that time, the horse returns to its genetic origin and start © tico œtrocharâ € â €.

Therefore, I infer and conclude that a horse â € œtrochaâ € or â € œtroteâ € with genes of â € œpaso fine € in its structure chromosomal ³ mica, but you can â € œhabilitarâ € to run the â € œpaso fine € ( or rather a form of â € œPiaffà © â € â € much like fine œpaso €) is not a horse race or œPaso Fine € â € or â € œTrochaâ €. It is simply a hybrid or mestizo.

And it is here where the line dividing Basic € â € œPaso Fine (with capital letters referred to bloodstock auta ³ ctona of Puerto Rico) of what is not. Simpler to € â € œtrochaâ constant or occasional indicates that the horse is not â € € œPaso Fine though it may have some or many genes € â € œpaso fine as expected to occur with animals of other breeds or pedigree that horses have been crossed with pure pure and mares of our race. And it is right and necessary to reiterate something that was established ³ in Act 169 of 1988 and should be â € œprohibido forget €: â € œThe animals that are not race anything can make to a race, on the contrary, is the œpuraâ € â € race who brings the dema s.a €

Also © n in Act 169 of 1988 clearly established ³ which was the difference between a pure-bred horse and a Paso Fino that it was not. The plain language of the law was as follows: â € Oeun pure fine horse and a Paso Fino Paso Fino fine mare, produced a fine and pure husbandry Paso Fino and other cosa.â € Words with light.

I think the problem we have confronted the œpuristasâ € â € is that it confuses the criteria for establishing the true difference between pure Paso Fino horse and that issue will be, of quality athletic altÃsima © tica, authorized to execute the fine € â € œpaso . Instead of calculating the difference à º nica and exclusively at the point of the â € œtrochaâ € year ± adim unduly other criteria such as having to do with the factors of strength, power, athletic © tica and speed of movements. On this second point we have seen for many year ± os people, including judges certificates and one only ³ lida experience at national and international levels, which relieves our dogs to manifest these qualities athletic © cies extreme grounds that this is one of the characteristics which are typical for horses â € œmedia sangreâ € or â € œcolombianosâ € but not necessarily for € â € œpaso fine cigars. This is a gravÃsimo error. The strength, power, athletic © tica and speed of movements along with resistance are the indicators ba musicians arsenal of resources neuro-fà ¬ musicians available to an athlete.

Therefore, with the strength, power, speed and resistance movements the basic criteria and inherent in all sports that require Acute maternal are also © n in our sport and our Paso Fino horses bred Paso Fine as part of its characteristics as an exemplar of high-performance athletic © tico.

Indeed, one of the great controversies over ± os year has been to define and agree what is â € œfinoâ €; within the € â € œpaso fine. I admit that I think that this difference is in some measure to overcome the address we have defended for so many year ± os. Frankly, I'm not sure. But the truth is that in the last yeats ± os are many people who love the Paso Fino horses pure have let me know you agree with me that we must strive to raise horses ever more s spirited, more s powerful, more s rà 'Quick and with better morphology for Best Execution of a fine € â € œpaso sensational.

For many œpuristasâ € â € â € œfinoâ horse â € € € œpaso fine movements was a copy of â € œsuavesâ € and â € œdelicadosâ €. Commended these specimens blandaâ € â € œpisada almost did not sound in the â € œtabla of resonanciaâ €. They spoke of something well that the horse due to € œflotar through the air like a ballet dancer €. The goal fora can be beautiful but totally irrelevant and scientifically incorrect.

For others, like me, this has been a vision misses ³ n line and absent from living scientist. The horse œfinoâ € â € â € € œpaso fine because it is a high performance horse should show athletic © tico © cies extreme athletic abilities. Therefore, we support the thesis that a copy œfinoâ € â € Paso Fino is a tread œBAJAâ € â €, â € œFLEXIBLEâ €, â € œSIMà Tricao ‰ €, â € Oera ASK €, â € and € œSONORAâ œFIRMEâ € and â € in which the speed and frequency of steps should be maximized as a à º nico taking Lamitan who does not engage in any public time rhythmical order of four times in Succession ³ n side. Naturally, this year will adim ± a short stride and Sima © trich. It is precisely under these conditions that the horse can express the dynamics stability or comfort in the saddle, which is virtue Biomechanics and functional excellence of our Paso Fino horses at the same time the best qualities athletic © cies .

By year ± I have been reviewing all the literature that has come to hand on the subject of the horse and I have never read anything to suggest that â € œpisada blandaâ € is a positive quality and desirable in any public type of horse and less year º n in a horse athlete. In fact, were the times muchÃsimas Don Hà © ctor Cestero, RIP, Don Pico Who ± ones, RIP and brother Gory Ballester expressed with pain as I was being introduced to the sport of Paso Fino the idea that a horse very dà © bil expression n ce © tica (œpatimongosâ € â € Don described them Hà © ctor) were animals of excellence.

Thank God, today we are seeing on runways copies â € œpurosâ € increasingly more s close to the definition of â € œfinoâ € we propose footprint â € œBAJAâ €, â € œFLEXIBLEâ €, â € œSIMÃ ‰ Tricao €, ASK Oera € â €, â € and â € œSONORAâ € € œFIRMEâ without compromising the rhythmical order of four times in Succession ³ n side. I assure you that when I have the opportunity to greet and converse with the owners of these copies and see the pride on his face and the Joy of animals possess these qualities of excellence I also © n me full of joy and hope.

I would summarize the above ideas. The recommendation, which makes â € œNostradamusâ € not â € œcastarâ € of animals intermediate that is, â € œtrochanâ € a while and go to â € œpaso fine € other, I fully support under tà © Terms in which this posed. But what happens is that this is not enough. Not enough for a stallion œtrocheâ € â € to be considered as a good candidate for reproduction n. We have to move to another criterion has to be œfinoâ € â € â € œ € Paso Fino.

And now I refer to the definition n is included in the Exhibition of Motives of Act 169 of 1988 which reads as well:

â € œThe puertorriqueà ± os we frame our breed animals with excellent blood lines, the size ± o and raised, with excellent color, much BRAO, of short length and low, excellent front and rear legs in perfect harmony and rhythm, rà side four times and well-marked 'Quick, of grace and that you only animals with these characteristics in their genes can still perpetuate and improve our race €.

Over these last 20 year ± os, we tried to move the Paso Fino breeding activity and cultural Medical là º a scientist and agribusiness. Raising promoting agro-scientists and Law 169 is inseparable from the appointment. I have the certainty that if we move to the second, we include the former but not the reverse. The satisfaction of a lover and defender of the horse pure Paso Fino should not only increase the population of around horses pure Paso Fino but should be aimed at increasing the frequency of genes that encode traits of excellence to increase the population of around horses pure Paso Fine examples of excellence and of poor quality.

I invite readers of this reflection ³ n if you want to share that effort © tico genetic improvement of breeding of Paso Fino join the project â € œPaso € Fino Pure Excellence. This is a gathering of people interested in exchanging ideas, experiences, information and approaches for improving auta ³ bloodstock ctona Paso Fino. It is a platform of shared knowledge no expert, we all learn from everyone. In fact, they can integrate and participate in this meeting, breeders and horsemen that Craen and / or compete horses œcolombianosâ € â €, â € œmedia sangreâ €, â € œandaduraâ €, € â € carreraâ œpura blood or any kind.

Of course, SOA ± masters to achieve a pure horse EspÃritu Paso Fino On that as my dear friend and brother that â € Gory Ballester and boat œpatine fuegoâ € from San Juan to Ponce Ponce and Vieques, and that â € œcaiga died without either of flaquezaâ € ± ales. This is my ideal Paso Fino horse pure puertorriqueà ± o, l wedges Do's yours?

- PD â € "This horse pure Paso Fino that â € œpatina and boot fuegoâ € is not inspired nor is it intended to have any public like a copy â € œcolombianoâ € or from any other source, the only one like it has is with himself and inspired by the ideal is © tico and functional, which has moved from time immemorial to breeders and breeders of Paso Fino horses to perpetuate this heritage © tico in genetic parameters of excellence. Do not forget that the careers of Paso Fino horses in the festivity, the horse contests sponsored by the Crown even Espaà ± ola dating back centuries. The Federation of Sport Horse Paso Fino is the pioneer of the sport worldwide and that the â € œDeporte Paso Fino € is a sport auta ³ ctono of Puerto Rico, although today it has expanded to Central Amà © rica, United States Europe. One thing that we feel very proud because it shows that the characteristics à º niques and distinctive of our bloodstock auta ³ ctona, which were selected and fixed genetic © matically by our ancestors over the centuries, respond to principles, ideals are © ticos functional and universal value.
