The Paso Fino horse is a gaited horse considered to be like no other. Many gaited horse enthusiasts claim that the gait of the Paso Fino has superior quality and smoothness to other gaited breeds. The breed originated in the Dominican Repub - lic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Columbia and Venezuela, and for many years the Paso Fino was only found in these Latin coun - tries. In the 1940’s, the breed was discov - ered by US servicemen, and though the Latin tradition hung on, the time of the American Paso Fino began. The breed is generally a small breed with individuals as short as 13 hands, but larger horses can be found, especially in the United States where people have bred them to carry taller people. Paso Fino horses walk, gait and canter, but they are known for their four beat gaits. The gait is natural and is displayed 24 .

Speed Control It is said that if a horse is walking faster than you want it to walk it is a “run-a- way.” This is because your horse is not listening to you, but is choosing its own speed. You are in the driver’s seat just like in a car. You decide the speed you want to travel, not your horse. A horse has a “slow spot” (the shoul - der) and a “go spot” (the hip or engine). An important point is to practice at home as we do with all exercises before heading out on the trail. If you have control at home 90% of the time, you need to expect you will only have 50% control on the trail. Distractions of any kind impede your horse’s ability to respond, so once you are solid without distractions, practice and train with them at home and then on the trail. Yes, you do need to “train” while trail riding until your horse is solid on the trail! Take the time to teach your horse to re - spond to your seat, one-rein slow down cues, and your seat and leg aids to speed up and slow down. Do this at the walk, trot, and canter. Don’t forget to teach the all-important emergency stop, too. Its easier to train all this in a snaffle bit because it gives you one rein control, side to side as well as front to back. However, you may have to take baby steps and work your way to using a snaffle on the trail with control if you have not been using one. Add steps so you stay safe whenever you need to in your training. Your trail horse is a performance horse and just like a performance show horse, learns patterns at home first; you need to practice in a safe enclosure at home. Once you are confident you have the control you need, you can venture out to the beautiful wide-open spaces. Remember… your life may depend on it!

Luckily, there is enough pasture to rotate the horses regularly. To prevent parasite infestation of the fresh pasture, the entire herd is de-wormed before the pasture is ro - tated. Every horse is de-wormed every eight weeks. In addition to the pasture land and the barn area, the facility also has land to grow and bale their own hay, which they sell back to the boarders. The horses are also required to have their entire shot record on file in the office. Rabies shots are required as well as West Nile and Rhino and Eastern and Western Enchephalitas and the usual Coggins test. Since there are normally 110 horses on the Naval Station property, keeping up with all of these records and making sure the boarders are on schedule is quite a job.
