Peruvian Paso horses

Peruvian Paso horses are seen at Montalban stud in Lurin, Lima Province July 25, 2010. Though Spaniards and other Europeans brought horses to the Americas,Peruvians say their national horse, the Caballo de Paso Peruano, or Peruvian Walking Horse, is unique and developed over five centuries. The horses are not bred for speed or rustling cattle, but for comfort -- with a soft gait that keeps the rider from jostling up and down on long rides. Picture taken July 25, 2010.
