		The history of the Peruvian Paso horse dates back to the Spanish conquest of the New World with none other than Christopher Columbus establishing a stud in Jamaica in 1493, and to horses brought to the region now known as Peru by Francisco Pizarro in 1532.
		The horse has a grand carriage and, of note to gaited horse enthusiasts, classic four-beat gaits -- the paso llano, a slower gait similar to a running walk, and the breathtaking sobreandando, in which the staccato of the beat, the extension of the stride and the thrill of the ride are all heightened.
