 Because
of its isolation for over 400 years, the Peruvian Paso horse
has evolved as one of the purest breeds in the world and
as a unique entity in the horse kingdom. The existence of
this breed has been called "the greatest triumph of
genetic selection ever achieved by a group of breeders." Thanks
to its unique, inborn, four beat lateral gait, the Peruvian
Paso horse is undoubtedly the smoothest riding horse in the
world.
The trademark of this breed is a special,
inherited, and completely natural four beat lateral gait
called paso llano. The paso llano is a broken gait. It consists
of a permanent, harmonic, and rhythmic tapping in which the
animal makes a gentle and pleasant alternating movement.
It is a quick advance in which the center of the horse's
gravity stays almost immobile, producing a smooth ride.
