“A Paso Fino is like a hurricane: when you ride one, you are sitting in the eye of the storm, smooth and calm. But surrounding you, you have this incredible energy and power that will blow you away.” This is how the Hacienda Mariposa website puts it. The Hacienda is the Swiss home of this Colombian gaited horse breed, which is descended from Iberian and Berber horses and played a major role in the conquest of South America. Thirty Paso Finos are at home here. The Chialina family has devoted themselves to breeding these horses since 2007.
