Celestina Farm offers selective breeding of quality Paso Fino
and Trote y Galope horses.
Paso Finos are dramatically beautiful horses. They present a proud silhouette, of stately, yet energetic grace. A refined head, long, flowing mane and tail, majestic, arched neck, deeply expressive eyes and uncanny athletic ability are all common-place among the breed. Most are compact, yet powerful looking animals with deep chests and broad, well-sprung barrels.
Trote y Galope
TROTE: A two-beat movement made of the alternate beat of successive diagonal legs, which produces a dry sound as the legs hit the ground in the following manner: tas tas tas tas.
GALOPE: A movement of diagonal steps executed in a three beat series: the first beat is executed by the impulse of one hind leg, a second beat is characterized by the landing of the opposite hind leg and its diagonal fore leg, a third beat marks the landing of the opposite foreleg from the one that initiated the three beat movement. The sound produced is: catorce, catorce, catorce, or one two, three, one two three, one two three.
Paso Fino Information
The Paso Fino is a naturally-gaited light horse breed with a history dating back many centuries to Spain. They are prized for their smooth natural gait and are used in many disciplines, especially trail and endurance riding. Like all horses of Spanish descent, the Paso Fino has a distinctive carriage. His proud bearing presents an unmistakable image - a mystique - that is regal, exuberant, graceful and athletic. Paso Finos, indeed, represent some of the finest breeding in horses ever known.
