- Paso Peruano -

There is evidence that the Paso Peruano and the Peruvian Paso are one and the same horse, but since I cannot find any real information on the subject, here is what I know about the Paso Peruano. It originated in Peru, but is now found all over the world. They stand 14.2 to 15.2 hands high at the withers, and they are of average build. They can be any solid color, and they are calm and alert at the same time. They are used as riding horses because they are alert, resistant to disease, and very hard-working.
