Re: Paso Fino

["Duncan Fletcher" <dfletche@gte.net>]

Sounds like the horse was doing the fino fino (classic fino). Many of the
show horses are trained to do this to the exclusion of other gaits. If the
horse does a good paso corto or paso largo, that won't be a problem. I have
trail ridden with a couple of paso finos that do well. I also looked at
purchasing one that had a great fino fino gait. Needless to say I didn't buy
it - it needs to kept in the show ring.
