Excuse my ignorance please on somethings. I had never heard of this breed of horse before. I thought the horse was taught how to walk that way and from I have seen on your posts about Viking.....this breed does this automatically? Where can I learn more about this breed and congratulations on your work with Viking. He is a true beauty.
In my experience with Paso Finos, they seem very prone to suffer mental drawbacks to traumatic situations. They are highly intelligent horses who never forgot anything.
I agree, Paso Finos are so much more sensitive to traumatic experiences. Fortunately Vikingo is doing really well now. You can see his latest videos at the beccajustice and thinkhorseba channels here at YouTube.
Beautiful horse. It's great that he's doing so well with you. It's a shame that more "horse people" don't know enough about horses to know not to rescue an animal they can't rehabilitate, you know? It's like someone getting a rescue pitt bull for a first dog. They might get lucky, but probably not. (Proper pitts being very nice dogs!)
He is stunning, you are lucky to own such a beautiful creature. Well done for rescuing him and restoring him to what you can only imagine is his former glory. He is stunning.
you do know that when you use the method you are ment to keep he horse off a rope so they wont be running in tight circles, because he looked very uncomfortable doing that.
anyways i think he has come on a lot :) he is such a cute stally, i think he has got to be the cutest
He joins up just fine -- I presume you mean the Parelli join up. Actually he's doing really well now with being ridden, he's happiest with a bosal and Australian saddle. He's friendly as a pet dog now, too.
Thank you. Yesterday (April 2, 2008) our trainer, Dacodah Herkenhoff, taught Viking to be ponied by Pintura, the mare giving birth in this video. She's only just learning to be ridden at age twelve. Next step will be for one of us to ride Pintura and lead the other person while riding Viking.
He`s doing great . It will take alot work but he real want`s to don`t be so scared. I`m so sorry for what happened to him .But you all are doing aGreat job with him.
Hi, I also have Paso Finos, look up my site to see slide shows of our rides. Excuse the awful music, as I was trying to put on some public domain stuff. I have a yearling and a four year old. I have raised them both. They are wonderful intellligent and personable horses that are a pleasure to ride. I like your trainer.....He is doing a great job.
Yes, he's mine. He's doing far better, no signs of claustrophobia when in our barn. He easily loads in our new slant load horse trailer. He's learned that when he starts to get fearful, he should stand still and think first, then look to the nearest human to see if he is safe. We expect to ride him soon.

He was gorgeous! Probably does not like the lunge like because it reminds him of being all tangled up during the hurricane.

Thank you. He's doing great now, we're riding him carefully in a 40 ft round pen. He's affectionate with us and his mares, a delight to work with.
