lovely Little colt (picture above). Also producing
filly this year was RBV Sortilega, PVFP Futura Del
Viego and GTV Gamuza. EAA Don Miguel was
showed in Peru and was imported to the US by
David and Laura Burrell, in early years the Burrell
family was based in Peru, and brought a rare
genetic treasure in the likes of Jaimito*, Jaimito is
rare because he is from the old working bloodlines
in Peru which founded the Peruvian breed. The
Burrells have now moved back to there native
roots of US and brought back with them these

Oro line Horses.
2012 Youth Represent the
Peruvian Paso Horse in
Colorado
Clay pea er, rr ll pea er, and Micah
Bialy were on fire in 2012! The only youth
ambassadors for the Peruvian Paso breed in
Colorado, these kids could not be stopped!
They presented their horses with a pa ssion
and brought their love of the Peruvian horse
to others. From trail riding, parades, show
and musical exhibition, to training, feeding,
grooming and general care, they did it all, no
matter what the odds were. They were
active in the North American Horse
Association (NAPHA) Youth program and
Participated in the NAPHA Joy of Riding
High Point program. They were all members
of the Lakewood Riding Club and the Mile
High Gaited Horse Club as well. They
attended functions with these and other
horse clubs always representing the
Peruvian Horse with a fire that brought
others in to learn more about this amazing
breed and the kids that had such passion for
them.
Micah Bialy had a passion for all
animals, but he especially loved his
Peruvian Paso mares, Vista del Dragon
and ERB Cadencia de Acierto. He began
riding Vista shortly before he was
diagnosed with brain cancer in 2010. In
May 2012, he was diagnosed with
terminal brain and spine cancer
reoccurrence. Enduring the pain and
other complications, Micah made sure to
spend time with his horses for a short ride
or just to hang out and be with them for
an afternoon. He amazed everyone when
he was out of the wheelchair and back in
the saddle, riding Cadencia and showing
her at the Mile High Autumn Classic 3day horse show in September. Micah
spent time working on the NAPHA Junior
Horsemanship Program and the Joy of
Riding High Point program. He was
planning to be back in the saddle on Vista
in November, but on November 8, he
went home to be with the Lord.
