Peruvian Paso horse exhibition closes the EU-LAC

The EU-LAC II Business Summit that was held this year in Lima, which gathered authorities from Latin American, Caribbean and European countries came to an end with a graceful and stylish exhibition of Peruvian Paso horse at the horse-breeding ranch of Mamacona, in the southern outskirts of Lima city.

During the sixty minutes of the exhibition, the audience never stop praising the performance of the horses lead by their riders, the “chalanes”, who rode their horses sporting the traditional ponchos and big Panama hats. The most impressive act came when a girl danced the picaresque and grace Northern Marinera, a National Peruvian dance, with one of the horses and it’s “chalan”.

The Spaniards introduced horses in Peru, since then the Peruvian Paso horse has evolved as one of the purest breeds in the world due to its isolation for over 400 years. The Peruvian Paso horse is the smoothest riding horse in the world because of its inborn four beat lateral gait.
