Corto in to the North Florida Paso Fino Association! 2012 Combined Fun and Point Show Information and Registration available now! We are happy to share our love and knowledge of the Paso Fino breed and to invite you to join our club activities in the North Florida area. There is no membership fee for our club -- just designate "North Florida" on your PFHA application or renewal -- it's that easy! The Paso Fino is famous for its smooth gait, and you have to ride one to believe it. This horse is amazingly versatile: from the show ring to trail riding to pulling carts and herding cows, the Paso Fino has the heart and the endurance to work and play hard. It's no wonder we love spending time with these horses and their people, and the North Florida Paso Fino Association (NFPFHA), a regional affiliate of the Paso Fino Horse Association (PFHA) offers opportunities ranging from monthly trail rides to the annual PFHA-sanctioned (POINT) show. Whenever and wherever we gather, there are always things to learn, tips to share, stories to tell, stuff to swap, and plenty of learning moments. Our executive committee members keep business chugging along year-round. We are always open to new ideas and new members. Please join NFPFHA and check this site often for events and news. You can read reviews of our recent activities (clinics, campouts, demonstrations, shows, trail rides) on the Recreation page, and we have lots of pictures on our Photos page. And make sure we have your email address so we can send you updates and news alerts of interest to you and your riding partners...Ride a Paso Fino...you'll be glad you did! |

You may be environmentally active ..... saving wolves, whales, salmon, trees, etc. We hope you are also willing to spend some time and $$ doing similar giving in a way close to all responsible horselovers. In Thomasville GA last week 100 starving horses were seized (see news links below). They are now being supported by the Dancing Horse Farm Rescue http://www.dcfhr.com/
The Hidden Springs Horse Rescue in Marianna just took on 14 Paso Finos 3 weeks ago, part of a larger rescue group of over 40 animals. http://www.floridahorserescue.com/Hidden_Springs_Horse_Rescue/Latest_Rescue.html
In Anthony (close to Ocala), Beauty's Haven Equine Rescue http://www.beautysequinerescue.org/ took on 37 horses locked up for 2 years. News article:

Dancing Horse, Hidden Springs, and Beauty's Haven operate through donations only. These animals are desperate for the basics: hay, water, love. We hope you will send anything you can to help these beautiful horses to a happier life. If you are local and have some time to spend, that will be gratefully accepted, too. |
