Pirata de Besilu

Pirata de Besilu is the sire of my Paso Fino stallion, Vikingo de Los Angeles. In this competition, the rider must control his horse without seeming to do hardly anything. Even pressing with the thighs is inappropriate. Notice also that Paso Finos compete barefoot. Competition rules prevent the use of harsh bits and nobody uses spurs. Yet you can see that Pirata is full of "brio." This is a Spanish word for a combination of pride and energy and is a personality trait of Paso Finos.

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

Claro que si, es natural.

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.

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

[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
