Paso Fino's Were A Favorite At The Equine Affair

Photo of the CPFHA 20 foot booth at the Equine AffairThis year the CPFHA had a 20 foot booth and a stall in the Breed Pavilion at the 2010 Equine Affair. The booth was essentially manned by Gus Gonzales, Bob Rains and Belinda Hines.

The Paso Fino’s got a tremendous reception at the two demonstrations that they presented. The first was on Friday at 11:15am in the main covered arena. This was a presentation of 11 riders beginning with Western Pleasure, then Trail, Pleasure, Performance and Fino.

Gavin Silver opened the presentation on Baronessa in full Western dress; showing that a Paso Fino can lope. Juniell Rivera on Trofeo demonstrated the Paso Fino in Trail. Dawn Silver on Coronell, Luis Perez on Maravilla, David Kramer riding Dechoso, Gunner White on Toscana, Marcos Devarea riding Mascarita, Michelle McAlister on Imponencia and Belinda Hines on La Promesa displayed Pleasure and Performance. Afterward Raul Matos riding El Marcador and Jochi Rodriguez with Centauro exhibited Fino. In addition to the Fino trainers showing Fino, Raul and Jochi did a wonderful job of presenting Fino horses flexing, turning, spinning and side-passing. Jochi and Centauro side-passed the entire length of the sounding board bringing a huge applause from the bleacher filled audience. Martha Coolidge did an excellent job coordinating and announcing this presentation.

In spite of the weather we had a large crowd and Gus Gonzales not only announced this event, but coordinated three horses Dechoso ridden by David Kramer, Maravilla ridden by Luis Perez and Trofeo ridden by Juniell Rivera. These riders were able to demonstrate to the crowd the versatility of the Paso Fino, effortlessly presented each gait and furthermore Juniell had Trofeo doing jumps during the display. We received a superb reaction from the crowd.
