Pirata de Besilu

[lokotaandme]

my mom was going to get one of these kinda horses but it was 2 much and over our limit

[Emura100]

@lokotaandme In the states for a good quality Paso Fino they cost a lot if they are already trained. If they are not trained or training is started and do not come from extremely exceptional bloodlines then they can go for about $5000. Generally those for trails are cheaper than that. But a horse that will do the fino fino like this horse will go for at least $30,000

[lokotaandme]

@Emura100 i know but..the horse was so pretty want but to much bow who for me but i had lokota at the time

[cmeinel]

The ones who do the "fino fino" dance like in this video do this from birth just for fun. It is so cute to see a new foal tap dancing away. The way I get my Paso Finos to dance like this when riding them is to pull in the horse's nose, squeeze my thighs slightly, push my feet forward, and look downward at the back of the horse's head. When I want the horse to lengthen his or her stride I release all pressure, look up into the distance and imagine speed. Whee!!!

[7466309change]

But they arenot taught this way of going?It is a natural for them?I never seen any up close.

[Emura100]

@7466309change They do it from birth naturally. They are brought into collection with training but it is completely natural

[7466309change]

I don,t know spanish.Surly the breed name means something.Could any one exsplane so I can understand the gates described etc.?I think in a movie they showd them ride not spilling a glass water.Like the walking horses.

[cmeinel]

Paso Fino = fine steps. They can move with very short but fast steps which makes them sure footed when running down mountainsides amid rocks, fallen trees etc. I love going fast in rough country!

[DavidDavilaDavila]

ese es Trovador del Danubio no Pirata de Besilu y quien lo esta montando es Nelson Primus

[cmeinel]

The curved tail is natural on some Paso Finos. There is some controversy about whether some veterinarians might be surgically altering tails to make some Paso Finos have better curves in their tails.

[Emura100]

@cmeinel I work at a Paso Fino farm and I can say that it is completely natural on our horses, though some don't hold their tails as high as others

[Calicat1994]

ok, to start I ride Tenn. Walkers, and dispite the fact that mine are lite shod, I am well aquainted with the prejudices towards certian breeds. That being said can anyone tell me about the tail? I have seen them a little curved at the end and I am assuming that it is natural, but can anyone tell me, is it desireable? Do you want it to curve a little or is it fault...or doesnt it matter...Just wondering.

[Emura100]

@Calicat1994 I don't believe you get marked off for it but it is desired because it helps the horse look more into collection and is good for overall conformation. Yes it is completely natural. The farm I work at all the horses do it, though some hold it high and others only slightly hold up their tail.

[cmeinel]

Claro que si, es natural.

[harold7441]

Claro q este paso es natural eso es usted que no sabe de caballos islamlsEvil666!!! eso es paso fino brother!!

[Maccaranahorse]

Totally beautiful!!!!!!!!!! I love pasos!

[IslamIsEvil666]

Esse paso no es natural.

El caballo se puede romper las piernas.

[cmeinel]

Es natural. Mis Pasos Finos quieren jugar como esto todo el tiempo y nunca rompen los piernas.

It is natural, My Paso Finos play that way all the time and never break their legs.

[Lyricssify]

@IslamIsEvil666 claro que si, es natural

[horsez411]

is this a stallion? because usualy stallions are the ones that have the most brio in them

beautiful horse:)

[cmeinel]

Yes, ou are right, he's a stallion.

[horsez411]

hehe thanks bunch:)

[Yoruichi861]

andalusian, right ?

[cmeinel]

He's a Paso Fino. Andalusian was a good guess, however, because that breed also originated in southern Spain. I've read that some Andalusians are able to gait somewhat like this, an isochronal 4-beat, but much extended, more like a speed racker.

[pasofinofreak]

@horsez411

this is a stallion. but that statement is very false. i have gelding that has a ton of brio. mares as well.

[Emura100]

@pasofinofreak Yes geldings do it just as well as stallions. One of the geldings at the farm I work at just won Nationals in the Bella Forma Geldings class and he does it better than our stallions who are worth 6 figures.

[horsez411]

your the one that seems ugly by saying that. if you dont like Paso Finos then dont see the videos.

[PasoNet22]

Thank you Robbyn for providing more info. I know the horse Trovador since he was purchase as a 1yr old by Mr. Nivar and sent to Dom. Republic. He was later brought to US and it was at that time that Nelson Primus rode him and later was sold to Hacienda Illusion.

[Anelac]

precioso animal Dios lo bendiga

[robbyncita2579]

Pasonet22 is correct this stallion is Trovador del Danubio a son of El Classico de Plebeyo in La Traviesa. He is owned by Hacienda La Illusion in Miami, FL Nelson Primus no longer rides this stallion.

[Horuko666]

That's a lot of movement for what little ground they cover. It doesn't look very efficient. He's pretty, though.

[Bugthek9freak]

Check out my horse and jonas brothers videos

[ponniryttare]

Pasos are cool but t seems like all of the riders who ride pasos have chair seats and their positions are terrible once they get on a no-gaited horse. my friend has pasos and does drill with them and she has loads of trouble riding her TB because her position is damaged by riding pasos..i've noticed it with other paso riders too...

[cmeinel]

Us gaited horse riders think the ramrod straight posture isn't all that great even on a non-gaited horse. Check out a working cowboy cutting out calves someday and you'll see a posture much different from the classic dressage style. I've done a lot of riding on Thoroughbreds, have taken some dressage style riding lessons, and IMHO anyone who is used to an easy gaited horse, regardless of posture, will find a TB to be harder to ride.

[horsez411]

not really

this is probably an cloumbian paso fino rider....all cloumbians ride pasos like that

i ride paso finos and i dont have that posture...you have to be staright and this is probably a pleasure show which means that the judges only look at the horse not the rider

[ponniryttare]

oh, that's cool! i rode a paso a few weeks ago, and they're a lot of fun!! you're right, i rode with the same eq. as i do my regular horses and it is so much fun!!

[horsez411]

HAHA YAA IT IS :)

[pasofinofreak]

@horsez411

not all columbians ride pasos this way. dont forget that there are also cubans dominicans, etc. in this breed also. trainers ride these horses for a reason which i dont know every individual does it differently. this was also the national championship show. there is no such thing as a "pleasure" show. im not trying to be rude, just trying to educate. there are too many people on here that are ignorant. im DEF. not calling you ignorant by any means :]

[meinschatz9]

The differences have to do with riding styles: ala Brida and ala Jineta. Google them. You will understand the differences once you learn why they are ridden in that manner.

[pasofinofreak]

@ponniryttare

not true for all. I show hunter/jumper horses and arabians on the side and I show my pasos nationally. There are some people that have to be trained to ride other horses but most people dont want to ride anything else once they ride a paso.

[okatane]

Juste magnifique !!

[gapbass84]

whos the father and mother? WHat is it from Amadeus ? Capuchino ? Resorte ???

[cmeinel]

Pirata's sire -- Plebeyo, dam -- Chata de Besilu. Grandsires -- Chucuano and Monarca de Besilu. Great grandsires -- Contrapunto, Profeta, Caribe, San Marino.

My stallion, Vikingo de Los Angeles, also has Resorte IV, Capuchino and Bochica on the bottom side, through his dam, Ronda de Don Francisco.

[hlhanington]

not all pasos compete barefoot.

[mfortes84]

actualy, by rules and rgulations they have to compete with horseshoes. what do u mean not all compete barefoot????

[pasofinofreak]

there WAS a comment on here talkin about pasos and what they where on their feet. by RULES AND REGULATIONS, they either have to be fully shod (all 4 shoes) or unshod(barefoot).

[josemario1985]

all that comes originally from colombia

[idolo1co]

horse shit! does not!

[horseluver611452]

I've NEVER seen a Paso gait like that - it's amazing.

[PasoNet22]

I just e:mail you with the info you requested

[PasoNet22]

This horse is Trovador not Pirata, the rider is Nelson Primus.

[cmeinel]

Could you please tell me how you determined this? The person from whom I got permission to post this video labeled it as Pirata (a grey stallion), not Trovador)? Alternatively, if you could please give me contact information for Mr. Primus, I could ask him to view the video and tell me for certain if he is the rider and which horse he is riding.

[Cremellocream]

O.o

[gapbass84]

wao i love it
