What's the endurance like? Can they go a long way in this gait ?

@@leaschmitt2496 they need proper endurance training, much like any horse, but the gait is 100% natural and they are comfortable doing it for extended periods of time. Foals will even do it when they get the zoomies.

So sorry for your loss!! She sounds like she was a wonderful friend!

My sympathy to you in the loss of your Mariana. 17 years is a long friendship & fortunate to live a long life in your care. I myself experienced a similar “ final day” 5 months ago, losing Rosita who I met as a yearling, maintained intermittent contact as she moved through 3 homes, until she came to me as a 13 YO having spent most of her years as a paddocked brood mare. She was a smooth, expressive, kind riding horse and simply sweet company in her last years. Brave & trusting too, as she accepted veterinary care after sustaining burns in a devastating wildfire that destroyed our valley & 86 homes.After 8 months she recovered the direct injuries and after effects of treatment ( gut issues). Never once “ threw in the towel”. A stoic mare with mental strength along with gentility. At 29.5 years of age, it was her old legs that finally failed to lift her from the ground after a sleep in the night. Bless your Mariana & Rosita both. I understand the missing of a dear friend…. 😔🌹💔

@@pamelahay6242 Sorry for both your losses. One of the hardest things in life, like saying goodbye to a human family member and dear friend.

Thank you NavvyMom & yes…. they are part of your family & their unique personalities missed. My Rosita was loved or appreciated through all her homes over her long life. A beautiful girl.

Love seeing all these beautiful horses. What is bustle frame on backend?

Beer Tolt is a blast! 😁

Thank you for your kind words Victor! So glad you enjoyed the video.

@@DiscoverTheHorse This is the BEST video about Peruvian Paso Horses in English. I loved everything (editing, camera movements), and I deeply appreciate the fact that you used Peruvian folk music in the background (I've been sick of Spanish or Mexican music into Peruvian Paso Horses videos). Keep it up! :)

@@UrsulaGonzalezPE Awww, thank you so much Ursula!! It was such a fun video to film and put together.

Yes s well gaited nice even 4 best Peruvian can give you a sense of gliding smoothly. It’s a joy to ride. 😊

You're welcome! :)

i dont like horses of any kind just u horse people know

Thanks for watching Barbara! It is a fascinating gait, isn't it?!

I say a walker or saddlebred

Hmm…. all gaited horses of any breed are more comfortable to ride than trotting horses & individuals in each breed may vary in their smoothness, but having ridden 5/6 different breeds, I have to say the Peruvian Horses I’ve ridden have been the smoothest “gliders”. 😊

They are unique and pretty special. 😊

She had such a smooth gait!! It was a blast. Thanks for watching. :)

Provein

Awesome! I love them! :)

Awesome!!

Corona means “ crown”.

It’s “carona” though

@@Luisgl386 oh

They are born walking so it's genetics that makes them special

These horses have otea function, they are for long walks, being so comfortable, it is ideal for that, they were created 400 years ago.

Agreed. This is so slow, compared to the efficiency and super speed of the Icelandic.

Peruvian Horses have a faster speed too; it’s called Sobreandando more towardsthe lateral but still 4 beat. And the Pado Llsno is faster than it may appear here. They do not do a flying pace like the Icelandic…. But then the pace is 2 beat & Icelandic riders doing Flying Pace stand in the stirrups because 2 beat pace is not comfortable to sit down on the saddle ( same as if riding a 2 best pacing Standsrdbred racehorse, meant to be driven, not ridden). The Peruvian gait is just ad efficient as the Icelandic & I would suggest is a little more consistent & reliable. Riding my first PP mare was like sitting on a stable table….. she glided & gave me no sensation of her legs moving beneath me…. & I was riding bareback in a roundyard! Ditto other PPs I have ridden & certainly their canter is unlike any other for comfort too. I’ve ridden 2 Icelandics, a friend’s stallion who was very comfortable in both tolt & the short bit of canter he did under me…. but the second Icelandic could not find or hold his gait very well at all but I put that down to being ridden in a group & being a “ for hire” trail horse ( in Iceland). Compared to the group of 5 “for hire”Peruvian trail horses I was a part of riding a beach in Peru, there was no comparison. All 5 Peruvian Horses maintained steady, smooth gait together, so much so that we informally found ourselves riding a “ Barrida”…. a side by side line of horses charging down the beach like a well oiled single threshing machine…. front legs mowing & back legs matching. Nothing like it. I have watched as an experienced Icelandic Horse breeder has had to work at her riding to get her 2 Icey’s into a steady 4 beat. All gaited horse breeds have individuals that naturally provide reliable smooth gaits whilst other horses in the same breed will require schooling to achieve consistency under saddle. I’ve been lucky to own /ridden several peruvians, 4 Paso Finos, 3 Rocky Mtn Horses, 2 Icelandic, 2 gaited Indian /Siti/Zanskar ponies, 1 gaited Welsh Pony (!). They are all different but all far more comfortable on the trail than any trotting bred horse except for the trotty Icelandic who was a nice horse but a disappointment to ride on the day.

@@pamelahay6242 Thanks for the reply pamela! I train icelandic horses, what you say about us standing in flying pace is not true hahaha, BUT its true its not totally comfortable, but I would chose it over trot ANY DAY, youy actually feel like flying, its not like you have a deep seat but its not uncomfortable at all

For sure, I would probably choose a flying pace over trot… the faster the pace I think the quieter the back. Slower pace tends to through you from side to side & tends to a rough ride which is hard to accomodate, unlike trot that you can rise/post to. I have ridden ex harness racing Standardbreds in early years. Nice horses & I coped with their occasional pacing. In Peruvians it is a fault for them to do a hard 2 beat pace or even a stepping pace. Friends & I in Australia support all gaited horse breeds here & have done so fo last 25 years ( because there are not a lot of gaited horses here & they are not well understood), There is nice collegiality between breeders/owners of Peruvians, Paso Finos, Rocky Mtn Horses, Icelandic, Tennessee Walking Horses, Gaited American Saddlebreds & the 3 or 4 gaited Morgans that have been born in recent years. My friend Chris stands 5 Gaited American Saddlebred, Gaited Morgan, Icelandic, Paso Fino Stallions at Stud & also in the past Peruvian Stallions. Currently there is a TWH. youngster just arrived for handling & a naturally ambling Standardbred gelding has just debuted as a very calm medieval jousting mount. In the past we have had naturally gaited Arabian, Quarter Horse mares & been aware of naturally gaited Australian Stockhorse stallion & Brumby ( wild horses ….. some carry Timor Pony blood which can carry gait gene). We each have our favourite gaited breed but enjoy all the gaited breeds for their diversity. 😀

@@pamelahay6242 OMG, this sounds like a wonderful horsey community. Great that you are all so congenial and open-minded, normal Australian traits I hear! Wish I could visit. As it is still January, Happy New Year too!

they are born walking so it is genetic

Far, far from “ dim”…. quite the opposite. Quick learners and expressive with their people. They are very sociable, have high levels of curiosity , strong individual personalities but…. they are docile, generally easy to handle and yes “ quiet” in terms of reactivity….. but no way “dim”. They have a capacity to “ take things in their stride” & are “ thinking horses”. Sometimes promoted as “ good for novice owners etc” & in that respect I have witnessed novice owners take on ownership of Breeding Stallions & remained “ safe” with them. But Peruvian Horses are sensitive, smart & not tolerant of rough handling. At the beginning of my association with this breed 30 years ago, an Equine Vet caring for a breeding herd of Peruvians stated to me that “ they are not like any other breed of horse…. Quiet yes, but really suited to more experienced horsemen/horsewoman. My National Level Champion QH Reining Trainer who started my little Peruvian mare to saddle just loved her to bits. He couldn’t get over how quiet she was but also how smart she was… quick learner requiring minimal lesson revisions, eaget/willing to learn, forward to ride, & “ a buzz to ride”. And I thought he would find her a bit boring as s riding horse after riding circles, spins & sliding stops on his top level QH! 😂

horses are born walking so no one trains them or beats you
