generated the Peruvian Paso Horse
breed. The Peruvian Horse breed began
its development back in the times of
Hispania. In the Iberian Peninsula, native
breed horses commence to blend with
some imported breeds from Austria and
with Arab-Barb blood horses arriving from
North
Africa.
This
happened
approximately in the 8th century, at the
time of Pelayo, a noble Visigoth, and
Muslim generals Tarik and Muza, when
the Holy War of Islam took place.

PERUVIAN
PASO HORSE
HISTORY AND ORIGIN
Horses were introduced into America and
Peru in 1532 with the arrival of the
Spanish Conquerors after America was
discovered. The genetic characteristics,
that would later distinguish the Peruvian
horse breed, were brought by the original
Conquest horses, which in a long period
of functional selection refined and
The territory of Peru, with its 2,500
kilometers of coastline, interrupted
by 53 rivers flowing from East to
West and forming the Peruvian
coastal valleys, is the environment
in which the Peruvian Horse
breeds. It is in these flat and monotonous
topography desert valleys that the newly
arrived horse was assigned the duties
that would distinguish it as a breed. The
horse arrived from Europe had to adapt to
the estates located on these valleys as
they were used to supervise work on the
plantations -an extremely important role in
Peruvian Agriculture. Travelling function
was determined by the distances covered
along deserts to join estates and towns
from one valley with those of another
valley. These are the ideal scenarios for
its evolution as a travelling horse. At the
beginning, the horse that settled in Peru
accomplished
functions
specifically
created for the war of conquest and
activities related to sports, hunting,
spears, and promenades.
