Paso Fino Horses

Special thanks to my friend Jayne for leading me down the path of the Paso Fino horse!

Carlos Tobon Clinic

Thanks to my good friend Jayne Lindeman had the wonderful opportunity to ride in the Carlos Tobon clinic put on by the Northwest Paso Fino Horse Association.  The clinic was held May 2nd & 3rd, 2009 at Paul and Jan Zito's farm Hacienda de los Ninos.

I rode Jayne's Paso Fino Stallion "Classico".  The photos at the clinic were taken by Char Hemingway.
