What are some of the breed characteristics?
Height: 14.1 to 15.1 hands with some individuals over or under this average. Weight: 900 to 1,100 pounds, on average. Color: “Every color you have ever seen, and a few you haven’t.” Solid colors prevail. Bay, chestnut, gray, roan, palomino, black, etc. (Rarely pintos, no appaloosas.) Appearance: Large eyes, long mane and tail, good solid body, strong, yet refined legs, high headset (proud) when in action, rounded croup and low tail set. “Termino”: The natural showy outward rolling of the front limbs when the horse is moving foreword. Pasos are born with this characteristic. It is not “winging” or “paddling” which come from conformational faults.
