OMG! How on Earth do you get him to jump and canter slow-like? I have a Paso Fino, but his gait is so bumpy I can half-way post with it. *lol* I have set up a few small crossrails, but he won't pick up his back feet to jump over it. And does your Paso bolt? When I ask Dakoda (my paso) to canter, all he will do is gait really fast.
When he does actually get up to a canter, is a hand-gallop and he won't stop. If you try to rein him in and make him slow-canter, he gaits again. Any advice? :(
@Stormywv1994 It may feel like he's going really fast but actually hes not. Its just their gait. I have a paso (LOVE HIM TO DEATH lol) and I used to post to his trot but one day I tried a sitting trot...didn't move at all. The "trots" aren't meant for posting. When he doesnt pick up his back feet when jumping means he doesnt want to=lazy. Just keep going at it and if he still doesnt then that means hes not a paso jumper. I hope I helped! I love paso's!:)

I am riding a Peruvian Paso tright now that loves to jump, he has cleared a 5ft fence by a foot before. And actually Pasos were bred to be able to do everything from cutting cattle, to reining to jumping.
I didn't know pasos show jumped... we've owned several pasos durring my lifetime, and every show that i've ever been to, they place a big emphasis on them staying in their gait. lol. never seen them being told to canter and then jump....
Many paso shows have a versatility class, which incorporates a figure of eight in canter, and a jump. It isnt discouraged so much as not encouraged-after all, umping and cantering isnt unique, whereas the paso gait is..
Nice to see some versatility. I like Pasos, but it makes me nuts when people freak out about not riding them constantly in their natural gaits. Nice riding! :)
Brilli :) !! i remember this, and you led xavi round the clear round lol:) such a good job with him. x

They are horses-why wouldnt they be able to jump?
