Colombian Trote and Galope
⸻ DIAGONALS P1
Definición: Trote is the way of movement of some of our equines through the successive and alternated movement of its two diagonal bipeds, producing one beat with each biped, performing the complete cycle in two beats, without suspension, in none of them.
Su sonido característico es tas… tas… tas… tas…
Definition of Galope: Galope is a diagonal sequence gait in three beats, which’s cycle or complete gait starts the horse in a first beat with one of its legs, continues in a second beat with the diagonal formed by the other leg and its diagonal hand, and ends in a third beat with the hand diagonal to the leg with which the first beat was made.
Its characteristic sound is es ca… tor… ce… ca… tor… ce… ca… tor… ce…
The fundamental characteristics of the Trote and Galope horse are its collection in movement and the total absence of in both gaits. The former, plus its biro, reins and elasticity of hocks makes it in the world, one of the smoothest for the saddle in this gait.
Phenotype
Height
Minimun for Stallions 1.35 meters
Minimun for Mares 1.34 meters
Under the minimum stablished height the horses will be disqualified by Regulation.
Plumb
Like vertical lines that the moving members must follow, they must be analyzed in motion and standing, with frontal, rear and lateral inspection. Regarding the back legs, it is established that they can separately attach to “The vertical lines from the top of the croup”. The moving members must have total anatomic and physiologic normality.
Movements
Previous train: elastic, of medium height and linear propulsion in Trote. Slightly higher in back legs than in front legs when in Galope.
Rear train:elastic linear propulsion, medium height and flat step in Trote and in Galope.
Harmony and softness
Harmony: All parts must contribute to the virtual and sound balance of the movement.
Softness: It should offer maximum comfort when riding.
Execution and sustainment
Execution Slow cadence for trotting. Slow cadence for the gallop. Movement combined in both gaits and without losing the ground in any of its times (without suspension).
Sustainment You must keep the rhythm perfectly.
Brío and temperament
Brío: You must respond positively to the demands made by the driver while driving.
Temperament Noble and voluntary.

Chest: Wide, deep and muscular.
Belly:Deep, strong and wide.
Croup: Round and wide. Muscled and medium length.
Tail:Set slightly high. With long and slim dock. Elegant posture and abundant and silky hair volume.
Hooves:Medium sized, but proportioned to the body.
Skin: Skinny, pigmented with short hair.
Color: Defined.
Extremities and pasterns
Extremities - Muscled, of thin and clean bones, strong joints.
Pasterns: Medium sized, strong and flexible, with an angle to the floor of about 53 degrees in the front legs and 55 degrees in the back legs. Its front profile should forma a straight line with the hooves.
Training and rein
Easy to drive and handle. You must choose precisely the indicated time of change when the chalan tells you that he wants to change from trot to canter, and return with equal precision.

PASO FINO
⸻ LATERALS P4 ⸻
Definición: Paso Fino is a gait or walk executed by some of our equines, characterized by an alternated and successive displacement of its two lateral bipeds, producing two beats with each biped to execute the complete cycle or gait in four beats.
Its characterized sound is ta…ca…ta…ca…ta…ca…ta…ca…
The feature that gives it maximum quality is the finesse, product of a permanent and strange synchronism between the speed of the rhythm and the magnitude of displacement. This particularity maintains at all times the beats isochronism, which is verified on hard surface by its sameness sound and on soft surface by the feeling of the rider, when it forms with the horse a true binomial.
It was during his second voyage to the New World when Christopher Columbus brought the first horses to Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic today). Those animals were mestizos Barbas, Berber and Andalusian of Spain. Later in Mexico and South America, other races will join them, but his complete isolation will recognize them as the ancestors of the Paso Fino.
The offspring of the horses were blasted by the countries discovered by explorers and attacked by the invaders. The horses were used as means of transportation to Puerto Rico and Colombia, the Isthmus of Panama and Mexico, and Cuba.
