The Paso Fino is a naturally gaited light horse breed dating back to horses imported to the Caribbean from Spain.
A Paso Fino stallion by the name of "Majestuoso" was quite well known in his time; he was on the Top 10 Sire List for twelve years in a row. When horseback travel became outdated, most owners turned to horse shows as a popular use of their horses. A stallion named "Don Danilo" has a grandsire that become famous in bullfights and made his name for the breed and then was bred with some of the best Paso Fino mares in the country.
