The ultimate trail horses - bred and trained to my exacting standards. Smooth, sane and sound. To approved homes only.

being made.
The sale is not final until the horse is
SOLD.
Therefore if you are interested in a
sale pending horse
please inquire as many deals do fall though for various reasons.
I will leave SOLD horse listed and the month of that sale for a period of time, this way you can get an idea on what horses go for. As for additional horses for sale....... Yes I will have some but they will come available as college tuition is needed and that will be for the next 10 years! I will continue to breed my select mares to breed to "Shorty" - (Fuego Brillante #11583 (1994) Liver- Chestnut) . This Stallion, combined with my mares produce, kind, strong, gentle, beautiful and intelligent foals. I would be doing the breed an injustice if I did not continue. Remember I RIDE, I do not show. All of the riding horses I have are completely conditioned to to be ridden for distance. They can gait continually for miles, climb hills, and do this easily 30 miles a day for 3 plus days in a row - while remaining completely sound. I breed for confirmation (strength), gait with loving, calm and trusting dispositions. Therefore with the help of my family I will continue to birth my babies, raising them as we have done with our three girls, that is with love, discipline, hard work and respect. (To date 16 deliveries have been under my watch)
What should I look for when purchasing a horse? The answer to that question will depend on your level of experience, the kind of riding you do, how often you ride, and even your personality. If I were selecting a horse for you, first, I would ask you the following questions.
Are you a beginner, intermediate, or advanced rider? • At what age did you start riding? • Have you ridden bareback? • How often do you ride? • Do you train horses, yours and/or outside horses? • Are you a timid person? • Are you afraid of getting hurt? • What type of riding will you be doing? What price do you put on your safety—your life? • How old are you?
Your answers will determine the kind of horse who will best meet your needs. The price of the horse will vary with age and level of training. When looking for a horse of any kind, go through the following procedure with every candidate:
1. Tell the seller that you want to see them catch the horse (to avoid having them prework the horse and wear him down). This also gives you a chance to see whether the horse is easy or hard to catch. Do not give an exact time when you will be arriving to view the horse so you can see the real horse. If possible arrange for a return policy.
2. Have the seller bring the horse in, groom, and saddle him. Have him/her ride the horse first. Ask him to remove the saddle and ride the horse bareback. If he can, ride the horse with just a halter. Have him resaddle the horse and allow you ride (with a helmet and with covered stirrups or with toestoppers on).
3. Ask him to load and unload the horse from a trailer.
4. A good test
to see if the horse is safe, secure, and steady is to kick him in the hind shin.
To do this, as the horse is standing and you are milling about, lightly tap or
kick with the toe of your boot the cannon bone of the hind leg. A calm, secure
and steady horse—regardless of age—will not move or will move very little. An
unpredictable horse will jump, stomp, kick back, or become highly skittish. If
the horse has passed the kick, loading, and riding tests, review the level of
training the horse has had and what he has accomplished for his age.
As for
our horses.
We have raised and trained them all with kindness, understanding, and
compassion. We all have seen horses that get moved from place to place and
owner to owner. This is so hard for horses for they are just like young
children in the foster care system—wondering when they will have a home and a
person to call their own. All of the horses we have sold are still with their
original families, the owners came, looked, rode, and bonded with them. This is
what is so important in finding the right match. I encourage you to come and
look. If you can't, together we will review exactly what your goals,
personality, discipline, and abilities are and review in detail what the horse
is like. I never want any surprises. I want you and the horse to be
together for a lifetime.

… I just wish I could a horse that I could get on and ride, with no problems.
I know they make them, but I can't seem to find one. :) Some friends of
ours have two that can stand in the pasture for six months, and they can saddle
and ride with no problems what so ever. Danlee ----

Subject: Re:
OK we are on the right track….. As for those don't ride for 6 months horses...
I have them.. I just had a customer in, wanted to see what a gaited horse felt
like... she hopped on, rode down the driveway, - out of sight from all the other
horses, riding bareback in a hack and the horse did everything. and even stood
still as she hopped off and walked around her. I do not know your price
range, but all of my horses are easy. They have to be with children. Or now my
kids are bigger... but I still train the same way and select breeding stock that
is mellow. ~Cathy "Helping one customer at a time"
About the Peruvian Paso
Peruvian Paso had its origins over four centuries ago in South America, where the horses brought to Peru by the conquistadors and subsequent Spanish settlers were bred selectively to produce the genetic miracle that became the "National Horse of Peru." The judicious fusion of several Old World breeds provided the foundation for the Peruvian horse. The Spanish Jennet gave its even temperament and smooth ambling gait, the African Barb contributed great energy, strength and stamina while the Andalusian imparted its excellent conformation, action, proud carriage and beauty to the new breed. Once established, the Peruvian Paso was maintained in its native country as a closed population, isolated by geography and the dedication of its creators from the influence of additional outside blood. Prior to the world's discovery of the Peruvian Paso breed and its subsequent commercialization in the mid-to-latter 20th century, the breeding and exhibiting of "Peruvian Pasos" in Peru had been a non-commercial endeavor for work and personal pleasure primarily by those whose families, who for hundreds of years had owned and operated Peru's largest farms and plantations.
Many of those engaged in this pursuit, eventually formalized the first Peruvian Paso registry and the magnificent competitions. Remarkably they too also shared the same Iberian ancestry and heritage of the horse itself, having also descended from forbearers of Spanish ancestry with heritages of many centuries of agricultural experience within Peru. Things began to change during the period of land reforms in 1960's and '70's under which the government dissolved many large privately owned farming operations in connection with social and economic readjustment programs. This left large herds of Peruvian Paso horses thereby dissolved and their numbers disseminated due to smaller farms and greater numbers of new locations and owners, leading to a wider and more varied segment of Peruvian society. During this time period, the breed which was recognized outside Peru had created a strong demand for horses to be sold for exportation, further increasing and expanding the popularity of breeding and showing within Peru itself, which today ranks as a popular pursuit both for business and pleasure in Peru in same ratios and manner as in the United States and attracts tourism from around the world to view this incredible spectacle. The first Peruvian Paso horses were imported into the United States in 1959.
Many people assume a close relationship between the Peruvian Paso and the Paso Fino. Although the two breeds share some common ancestors in the Old World breeds that are their forebears, the horses that gave rise to each came to the New World with different groups of settlers and were generated in entirely separate environments for totally different purposes. The Paso Fino was developed in and around the Caribbean, Central and South America, while the Peruvian horse was born entirely within the borders of the country for which it was named. The Peruvian is somewhat larger, deeper in the body and wider. Both have high head carriage and front leg lift, are smooth to ride and exhibit basically the same four-beat footfall although it is executed differently. The Paso Fino is not bred for the distinctive "termino" and its finest show gait does not require the length of stride so essential in Peru for traveling long distances. In addition, the Peruvian can guarantee transmission of its gait to all purebred foals. * Sol de Oro V is the foundation Stallion who started the registation.
Physically, the Peruvian Paso is a horse of medium size, usually standing between 14.1 and 15.2 hands tall, with a powerful build. He may be chestnut, black, brown, bay, buckskin, palomino, gray, roan, or dun; with the solid colors, grays and dark skin considered most desirable. The mane is abundant with fine, lustrous hair that may be curly or straight. Horses must be shown unshod. The Peruvian Paso horse should have an appearance of energy, grace and refinement. Horses should have a well-developed muscular appearance without exaggerations. The head is of medium size with a straight or slightly concave profile; a small muzzle; oblong nostrils which extend easily; dark skin; dark expressive eyes set well apart; moderately marked jowls and medium length ears with fine tips curved slightly inward. The neck is of medium length with a graceful arch to the crest. It is slightly heavier in proportion to the body than with most light saddle breeds. The back is medium to short in length, strong and rounded. Loins broad and well muscled over kidney area. The croup however is long and wide, fairly muscular with moderate slope and nicely rounded. Tail is set low and viewed from the rear is carried straight, quietly and held close to the buttocks. Chest is wide with abundant muscling. Rib cage well sprung and deep. The barrel is deep and the underline is nearly level from the last rib to the brisket. Flanks are moderately short, full and deep. Quarters should be strong, of medium roundness and width. Shoulders long, very well inclined and well muscled, especially at the withers. Bones of the lower limbs should be well aligned and well articulated so that the long bones line up with each other correctly above and below the joints with the skin tight against the bone and strong, prominent tendons and pasterns of medium length and springy but not showing weakness. Cannon bones are short. Slightly more angle to the hock than other light saddle breeds.
Today, the Peruvian
Paso transmits its smooth gait to all purebred foals. No artificial devices or
special training aids are necessary to enable the horse to perform its specialty
- a natural four-beat footfall of medium speed that provides a ride of
incomparable smoothness and harmony of movement. In addition to an easy gait,
the Peruvian Paso's creators desired their new breed to retain brilliant action
typified by lift as the knee and fetlock flex, combined with "termino," a
movement of the front legs similar to the loose outward rolling of a swimmer's
arms in the crawl. Based on breeding selection, the degree of termino varies
among individuals. The Gaits typified among the breed are:
(a) Paso llano: Equally spaced, four beat gait. Timing and footfall: 1 - 2 - 3 -
4; LH - LF - RH – RF and
(b) Sobreandando: Usually faster, slightly more lateral than the Paso llano.
Timing and footfall: 1,2 - 3,4; LH, LF - RH,RF
Perhaps the most misunderstood of all traits that distinguishes the Peruvian horse is "brio," a quality of spirit that enables this tractable horse to perform with arrogance and exuberance that can only be described as thrilling. "Brio" and stamina give the Peruvian its willingness and ability to perform tirelessly for many hours and many miles in the service of its rider. The Peruvian horses without question are pure joy to ride and absolutely the smoothest horse out of all of the gaited breeds of horses from a slow or as fast as an extended trot or slow canter and it is completely natural; Truly the Champagne Ride.

Breed: Peruvian Paso
Name: 4MS Princessa Margarita # 15252
Age: Born August 16th 1998
Height: 13.3
Color: Gray with a star, stripe and snip all connected. with white on lower lip. Sock on right hind leg and sock/stocking on left hind leg.
Sex: Mare
Photos: Photos I can get a video or other photo's as you request. - current photo's coming... just foaled a beautiful colt.
# of foals born: Two breedings, two foals born 2005 and one March 31st 2007. Excellent and gentle damn.
Strengths or weakness, how it is: Oh my gosh... well there is nothing that is not perfect with this horse. Gorgeous Mare - Well bred. Outstanding movement and drive from the rear. She can gait... at any speed...... and is SMOOTH the smoothest I have ever ridden. She can gait with a just a halter or she can gait with a traditional Peruvian bit and carry her self with the pride that the Peruvian is known for. 100% trail sound and does it all. If you decide to show she WILL take you to where ever you want to go. NO bad anything. She takes shots, wormings... nothing bothers her. She loads, un-loads from trailers, travels for 16 plus hours and handles it all with calmness she pivots, canters, side passes and can jump. Her feet are like iron and grow fast. So that may be an issue. She has a thick hoof wall, great for putting shoes on, but her feet grow so fast that in 3 weeks she will get wind puffs if you do not reset her shoes. I confirmed my hypothesis by performing a test. I pulled the shoes, and rode her in the most miserable of shit rock for the entire summer. NOT once did she ever get puffs, lame up, get tender or split out. So this horse - you do not need shoes on and we have not had shoes on her since that time years ago. If you do want shoes on then you must reset them every 3 weeks - max, or she will develop wind puffs due to the excessive toe growth putting strain on her superficial and suspensoray ligaments. Princess is not a real lovie-pesty-like horse - like some of the other horses we have are. Princess is a really sweet, quite mare, she thinks people are ok and completely respects children and adults. She does her job and works hard. She would work well for a single horse owner or in a herd. She is a easy breeder and an excellent mom. She is a great horse - I love this mare and am keeping her foals. Outstanding genetic lines. But now you have a chance to use her genes if you so choose. Also since she is a little horse weighing 800 pounds she needs a rider who weighs no more than 150 lbs with tack. (15 to 20% of a horses body weight is what a horse can carry for days riding) Princess has competed in orienteering events as well as 25 mile competitive trail. This was Sonia's horse that she grew up on. Sonia is now 5.8 and 145 lbs and STILL growing - she grew right off of Princess and the money from the sale of this mare will go towards Sonia's college fees.
Status in herd: toward the top - second or third female from the top in herd of 18
Medical history: Nothing to report - Perfect health, takes all shots wormings trimmings. Current on all vaccinations
Trail miles under saddle: 4,000 miles plus
Price: $7,000.00 (less by $2,000.00 if you do not need a saddle)
