Perlino Paso Fino For Sale

Rosy is a homebred young mare, raised with care, and it shows. She was only backed three times as a three year old, started under saddle as a four year old, then put into real training when she was five. Our goal is to have a horse that is mature before the true under saddle work begins, to ensure a sound riding companion for many years to come. Lots of groundwork and desensitization were the early goals, and this has made Rosy a sensible mount. I am older and wanted to make sure if I drag my leg over my horse’s croup, there is no flinching or startling. Rosy is fine with that! She “rates your seat” and if you sit deep in the saddle, she is ready to stop for you, no problem. If you touch the reins and say “Whoa” she is immediately stopping all forward motion! But Rosy is no deadhead! She is always ready to head out on the trail, lively and looking to see what is coming up. She is not spooky, she might startle briefly at worst, not whirling around or scooting sideways, and she has never tried to bolt or rear. Rosy backs easily with a slight pull and release, flat walks easily, and picks up speed with the touch of a calf or a kiss. She also has a very nice lope, though we don’t ask her often. While Paso Finos are known to be sensitive, Rosy is sensible! Never bothered by fly spray or bathing, and excellent for deworming, vaccines and farrier work. Though she is currently barefoot, she was shod a couple of years ago and behaved just fine. Rosy stands 13.2 hands on a stick. She is a stout little mare and handles me at 5’6″ just fine, as you can see in the pictures and video. She weighs right at 800 pounds on a tape.
