I have been researching a breed from Costa Rica (Costarricense Paso) and translated their Breed History. It was interesting the mention of the Arab and how because of the phenotype of the horses in south and north America, that is shows they are not heavy influenced by them. I also thought it was interesting that they mentioned the horse being a "light" breed because of the jobs they had to perform. Looking at some of the Kigers in the upcoming adoption, I see that being lost (more so in the Riddle herd).
Here is the translation, a little rough:
"Despite the primitive vestiges of the Horse by fossils discovered in North and South America, the origin of our horse, like other American races, as this based on mares brought by the Spanish after the discovery of America, when returns horse on this continent. In Costa Rica and throughout America, the types of horses developed, had come down somewhat from Berber North Africa. Without discussinge can easily understand that the Spanish brought horses were not only raised and very low light, but for the work they were to perform in rough terrain and unknown horses could not be bulky or phlegmatic, that nothing useful will be conditions under the circumstances in which they had to perform during the conquest, but rather temperamental and courageous, that could withstand the adversities of the topography, climate, etc.. If Costquality and elevations of the gait of the horses, and if we go back to the Age of Discovery of America, we must remember that the Moorish dominion over seven centuries on Spain, especially in the southern provinces of the country, the term approximately forty years before the discovery of America, and we must assume that the injection of Berber blood was really high on the native mares of Andalusia. If we move mentally to the time, pI animals, but also the surface characteristics thereof. As an example, there are some features abysmal between Arabic and Berber horse, such as head and neck, the shape of Anca, the implementation of the tail and especially the variety of types of horses that developed walkers in America what is unique feature of Berber and not found in Arabic. So we have to accept that enough blood to America came Berber. Sto Rica developed a classic type of horse walker, as if it happened in many other countries in America, because the horse was our Central Valley, had to basically perform in rugged terrain areas sonde fine step would not meet the requirements of our settlers. Perhaps the clearest indication of Berber ancestry across Latin America and the Caribbean, we see when we observe the morphological characteristics inherited not only the structure of land should be noted that the Central Valley Cartago possibly as a result of poverty that could not claim revived belongings, evidenced by all the residents a special love and fondness for the horse, the animal not only as useful, membership but also very much appreciated, apart from the daily work, they could give other sports and social satisfactions.

on the home page video. I can see Paso fino' in these horses. My neighbors horse Jayce is a Paso fino and has simulair conformation to these horses. I don't see anywhere on the website wher it says these horses are gaited. I like that as I prefer a non-gaited horse. Keep it simple walk, trot and canter there is enough variables in those 3 gaits to keep me busy I don't need to add one more ...LOL
