[edit] Peruvian Paso vs. Paso Fino
Hello horse lovers - how are you?
Looks like an article on the Peruvian Paso turned into one on the Paso Fino. How about one of you give the Paso Fino its own article and let this remain a Peruvian Paso article?
[edit] Finishing cleanup
The below text is needlessly techincal and not very clear. I'm not sure how relavent this is, so I've reduced the section in the main article and transcluded the text to the talk page. If someone else can make this more understandable and put it back in the article. --Kerowyn Leave a note 22:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
A unique trait of the Peruvian Paso is termino — a loose, action in which the front legs are rolled to the outside as they stride forward, similar to a swimmer's arms. Individual Peruvians may have more or less termino.
Which makes to this animal different from other races equinas in the world is its typical air of intermediate speed, that in the others is of trote. This air Or MODALITY in walking is trote lateral 'or AMBLE and denominates level step in its more typical rate; but it can have different rates and speeds, that they can be executed as well by a same unit
To this sum of airs it is called steps to them. During the execution of these fine steps, the mount has a single and exceptionally smooth horizontal balance; The other races of horses balance horizontal vertically and. This causes that riding it he is specially pleasant. The smoothness is one of the appreciated fundamental virtues and more in the race of this horse.
"To Walk in Level Step", Carlos Parodi García (criador) speaks on the level step: He is to show the innate isochronal harmonic displacement of each individual search of the extremities of the horse. The animal raises the previous extremity and later of the same side, it locates the first later one in the ground and soon the previous one of the same side, also does with the other biped. Obvious this isochronal harmonic movement of individual searches goes accompanied with previously enunciated when we defined what is the "Termino".
It is important to need that, in the harmonic time of the displacement the Peruvian horse of step gets to have greater number of extremities in support on the ground, consequently better impulsion and minor reaction at the moment of impulsion in the transfer of the center of gravity. Which one comes off the following variations in airs or modalities of the level step: Crawled Level Step, Level Step Mincemeat, Struck Level Step.
The TERMINO: is a particular attribute that jointly and after: the smoothness and the advance, are the original and beautiful spectacle of the observation or dynamic morphologic evaluation of the horse like individual, in the mechanics of his to walk racial.
In the Peruvian horse of step it has like characteristic, greater predominance in isochronal harmonic movements of searches in the previous members that in the later ones.
Consequently the harmonic, isochronal execution and of peculiar graciosidad of elevation, suspension, elegant rotation outside the line of seriousness, reduction and support of each isochronal search, of previous or front extremity, denominates “Termino”.
In addition depending on the elevation of the arm, it rolls and cane will show greater or smaller agudes in the “termino”.
[edit] What's the proper bit type for the Peruvian Paso horse?
I always have seen use the curved bit (hard) on Peruvian Paso Horse reins. Is there a 'type' of bit specially suited for these horses? or are there other types that could be use depending, say, the horse itself, or depending on how confortable is with a given type of bit? Thanks
[edit] Cite
I placed that "Citations needed" on your page. Your article is really nice and the pictures of the horses are beautiful. My issue is that you have several phrases in the article such as:
" The always tractable Peruvian Paso presents a noble, arrogant appearance that makes him a preferred entry for shows and parades."
" The Peruvian Paso was refined exclusively in Peru and has even been called that country's "national horse" and
" Hence, this is a favored mount for riders with back trouble " .
I'm definetly no horse expert, I know just enough to know which end is the front on the horse ;), so I'm definetly not arguing about the validity of those statements, however, I suggest that you place a footnote or something similar to indicate what source provided that information to you. Otherwise it may be considered as original research . Thanks
