No name to this post Ya'll figure it out.

Maybe I'll title it GREAT PERUVIANS OF THE PAST!

Don't Standaround Looking Dumb..... Get off your arses and fix your problems. Genetics are a funny thing! I've capitalized the names of the Peruvian Paso Horses I feel were REALLY PREPOTENT CONTRIBUTORS of certain genetic traits. They are listed as I see their INFLUENCE as to certain inheritable traits within the breed. As I said...... Interpret it as you may...... Asterisks and breeder initials have been removed from the names. Y'all figure it out and don't be sending me any stupid emails threatening me. You can't be sued for personal opinions or for telling the truth. So there! If your horse is or isn't on the list...deal with it.

PALOMO, AMIGO FITO, DUQUESA, MARIA BELLA, HIERRO, CACHINA DEL VIENTO, SOL IMPERIAL, PERUANITO, RETADOR, SOL DE ORO (J), SOLIDARIO, HERALDO, AMOR DE REAL, ROMANESCO, EMIR, LA FLOR DE CIPRES, LA NINA, CUMBIA, LA FLOR DE CANETE, LABRIEGO, REGIONAL, REAL, DANTE, IQUENO, CAP HUANDO COCINERA, EXTASIS, AMORTIZADA, CONTINENTE, BOHEMIA, BOHEMIA DE LA PALIZADA, LA QUESADILLA, HERCULES, GABRIELA, MIL AMORES, SUENO DE ORO, LINDERA, REGALO DEL SOL, LUNA A MEDIAS, PROCURADOR, MARISCAL, DON B, AMIGO, POCO FITO, FLOR DE ICA, FIESTA, PINATA, DOMINGIN, CANAVERAL, ANDINA, ACHIEVA, CARBON DE LA PALIZADA, LA TOPACIA, VENADA, DON JOSE, ORO DE AMIGO, TERCIOPLELO NEGRO, INTOCABLE, GALATEA, EL SENADOR, RAFAELA, VENTURA, ZAINA, ALACIA, LA BARONESA, LUNA A MEDIAS, REPLICA, HEREDERA, ESCARAPELA, LA PISQUENA

Oh... there are so many of them...the real prepotent greats can be found in almost every pedigree within this breed!!

Here are some more, maybe not so genetically strong as the above horses but carriers of the same genetics as the afore mentioned horses, as can be seen by the traits in their offspring as well! Many if not most of these I have seen in person and am able to say I've noticed the characteristics that have been passed first hand!! They might not be homozygous in the passing of these traits but they have passed them on often enough or shown clear evidence of them, I guarantee you!

Romancero, Zar, Dulzura, La Platita, Manzanita, Paolanita, Amigo De Oro, Antares, Florentino, La Delicia, Florentina, Flor de Te, Sederia, Seda Negra, Paloma Negra, Escandalo, Dartagnan, El Pisquero, Pan De Oro, Domingo, La Madrugada, Heredero, Luna Crescencia, Coralita, Obsidiana, Obsidiano, Cascabel, Cascabel De Huando, Piloto, Perfidia, Pochola, Rey De La Solana, Arcadia, Marango, Osado, Sahara, Pabellon, Xanadu, Mantequilla, Envidia, Linaje, Romance, Orquidia Negra, Festival, Laramate, Prosapia, Primavera, Zaina, Realborada, Conche Perla, Problematico, Senora Mariposa, Opala, Marimba, Cleopatra, Serena, Nacarita, Don Jose, Uxmal, Huando, Maravilla, El Duque De Cantil, El Shetan, Africa, Pampero, Aladino, Tanyadora, Pincel, Pensador, Sol De Mojave, Solaz, Resalado, Coralito, El Payande

Oh I could go on and on.... like I said, there are some genetic traits that are so locked within the great lines of the Peruvian breed that it would be virtually impossible to rid the breed of them without a genetic test of some sort for these traits. And let's not even go into the topic of cutting stifles and tail tendons!! You'd think people would want to better the breed by genetic testing, wouldn't you?

I know I will never breed purebred Peruvians again until such a test exists in order to determine which horses are carriers of different traits in both the HOMOZYGOUS form as well as the Heterozygous form. If the breed registry had any integrity about them at all, once there is a genetic test for some of the issues within the breed, they will ban ALL horses that prove to be either HOMOZYGOUS or HETEROZYGOUS for certain conditions from ever being allowed to breed again. In the meantime, go ahead and put your heads back in the sand while the rest of the world passes you by. Just my $.02 for what it is worth.

On another note, I just love my Tennessee Walking Horses... They not be as hot or as flashy but BOY ARE THEY SOUND!

  1. Have you seen other genetic problems other than dsld ie parrot mouth, long pasterns etc?
