Well I'm glad this came up as I was thinking it but not writing in! In all my 40 years around horses I have yet to meet a Paso I would try to do SAR with. I can't imagine Pasos riding calmly, quietly and with forward looking attention, much less any attention span at all. No offense, just my humble opinion... I realize any horse can be trainined to do just about anything. I've just never seen a Paso that was trained to be calm and quiet.

They lack the disposition and calm abilities of the QH . In my area of ohio gaited horses are seldom used for anything but long distance riding because of the hot blooded nature and lack of temperament. Cowboy@ecr.net HotmailĀ® goes with you.
