re: termino



Thank you, Lynn, for your explanation.  Beautifully put.  Actually, I have a mare who has Peruvian a couple of generations back.  She definitely moves differently from my other, pure Puerto Rican, mare.  Not better or worse, just different.

Sorry it took me a bit to respond but I'm starting to dread RideCamp digests.  I've left a bunch of lists due to the ad nauseum barefoot debate; it just never goes away.

Dana (who has all barefoot horses and will keep them that way as long as I feel it is not hurting their feet but refuses to accept that shoeing is more abusive than some of the 'barefoot healing practices' I have read about.  And no, I will not respond to ANY emails about this subject.  I, too, can have a closed mind on the issue.)

Termino is the outward rolling of the front limbs during extension. The
movement originates at the shoulder and the foot lands square to the
ground. It gives a swimming or paddling appearance to the front end
action. Termino is a characteristic and desired component of the Peruvian
Paso's way of going (see picture at http://www.pphrna.org/).

I have no doubt that your neighbor's horse is a registered Paso Fino --
until about 10 years ago the Paso Fino registry would accept the
registration of PPs as PFs. There are still some of these double
registered horses around and of course their offspring with PFs would be
registered as PFs.
