The Peruvian horse is a truly unique breed of horse--a non-trotting breed that can guarantee it's natural gait to each and every offspring. A pure bred Peruvian will always inherit the lateral four-beat gait.

For knowledgeable horsemen, the Peruvian Paso is an enigmatic blend of extremes. He has the spirit and fire of the old Spanish breeds and yet is noted for tractability.

The Peruvian is a smooth gaited horse with a stylish natural action. It is one of the few breeds that never wears a shoe. Shoes are prohibited in shows and all horses are shown barefoot.
