Different Types of Paso Fino Horses Explained

All Paso Finos are small horses (standing an average of 13 to 15.2 hands) with a fine yet muscular build, elegant head carriage, and lush manes and tails similar to their Andalusian ancestors. However, the Puerto Rican Paso Fino tends to have a slightly more delicate step, and it is the only type of horse which may be born with a unique “tiger eye” coloration. Colombian Paso Finos, on the other hand, are noted for their “brio” (spirited nature) and often display a more dramatic, piston-like action that makes them beautifully animated in the show ring. American Paso Finos were produced by cross-breeding these two strains with an emphasis on refining the breed’s faster gaits (the Paso Corto and Paso Largo) to cover ground more quickly.
