Paso Fino Training Services

Training is the art of creating a team between you and your horse and it's what we do best. From basic saddle training to problem correction to show preparation, all we do is Paso Fino. No woo-woo whispering, no harsh techniques, just compassionate, skilled training by a professional Paso Fino trainer with years of experience.

Our training fee includes lessons for the owner, not just the horse, so whether you are hitting the trails or competing in shows you'll get the most out of your Paso. Our rates are reasonable and multi-horse discounts are available.

About the Trainer: Meet Angel Flores

Growing up in a ranching family in Mexico, Angel learned to ride as soon as he could walk and participated in cattle drives as soon as he could reliably dally a rope on the saddlehorn. He came to Paso Finos after a stint in racing thoroughbreds and hasn't looked at other breeds since. "This breed is so sensitive and smart, you always, always have to treat them with respect," he says.

Youngstock are started on the ground, with thorough handling and sacking out and gradually progress to round pen work before being backed for the first time. Once the horse is safely under saddle owners are encouraged to visit and ride frequently to create a strong bond and build confidence in both horse and rider so by the time a team leaves the farm they are ready for whatever challenges they may choose.
