I agree...I like riding my husband's Pasos (he both trots them and gaits them), but I prefer my trotting Arabs.  :)

I went up to a friends of mine in Omaha a few weeks ago to try out her barefoot trimmer and she has Pasos. Mine grandson had only see the "show" ones on RFD-TV so Joanne took him out on her trails paso's so he could see how they were suppose to move. He said when he got back " It was fun but I prefer my trotting Arab".

Oh my gosh YES! Paso Finos are SMOOTH!! Just bought one. My advice to people riding Arabs is this....DON'T ride a Paso Fino! Never, ever hop on one for fun to try them out! You will want one. Don't do it, never, ever. They will spoil you for getting back on your trotting horse. I did and sold my nice Arab and had to get one. Don't DO IT! JUST SAY NO!!

Cool video.  :-)  Wouldn't win any pole-bending speed records but sure looks
like a smooth ride.  :-)
