and presence, and responsive attitude, the Paso Fino is indeed a rare and desirable equine partner. Often considered the Cadillac of horses—one ride will show you why. The High Plains Paso Fino Horse Association was organized in the summer of 1998 with 66 members and 210 horses. One of the purposes of the formation of this new region was to have a smaller geographical territory with a higher concentration of members so we could become more involved together in the name of our Paso Fino horses. Since then, our membership has grown to over 100 members. Activities include the American Royal Show, the American Royal Parade in Kansas City, Missouri, Beef Empire Days parade in Garden City, Kansas, co-sponsoring the Gait to the Future show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, organizing a new show in Springfield, Missouri, participating in Equi-Fest, and participating in several all-breed shows.
