17. SOUNDBITE: ( Spanish) Andres Arata, Peruvian paso horse expert:
" This was originated, probably, due to natural selection in the Peruvian coastal region, I estimate, 300 years ago or more, because the coastal region is a big desert crossed by valleys and it was necessary to travel by horse, with very safe horses, they had to be very strong but at the same time very gentle because the horseman had to travel 40, 50, 60 kilometres in a day to get to the sea port or to the next valley or to a place where he could find water."

" The situation in the countryside years ago was that everybody used to work on a horse and the farmers got really used to going everywhere on horses. We lived on the horses, we became part of them. There is where this hobby to the Peruvian paso horse comes from. This horse is a very gentle horse, it doesn't mistreat the rider, a person can ride him for 8 hours, get down and go dancing right away."
21. Multiple winner and National champion Duque or Duke at its corral
22. Breeder Jaime Uranga walking towards the corral
23. SOUNDBITE: ( Spanish) Jaime Uranga, Peruvian paso horses breeder:
" To do a good breeding work it's not just a matter or saying 'oh, there is the mare and whatever', you need to think ' what am I going to add to her?,how can I improve her?, what element does she need and what horse can provide it?', I think to have a great animal you do need a great mare and if you have it you also need a great horse, and then find out what is it that the mare lacks, for instance there are some who don't hold the neck high enough, or others who move too much their front legs. Well, you need to find out and say: this is the horse that fits the mare."

LEAD IN
Temperament, beauty and versatility are the characteristics that make a good horse, and the Peruvian Paso horse is one breed that is said to meet all those qualities.
According to many experts, due to geographic isolation for many centuries, the Peruvian Paso horse is probably one of the purest breeds in the world.
STORYLINE
The breed of the Peruvian Paso horse is no longer exclusive to Peru, and it is possible to find these horses in Argentina, Japan or the United States.
But it is still in Peru where you find the most amazing and perfect animals which have become the pride of the country, and almost a national symbol.
