Young area resident, Felecia Huffman, is pretty excited these days as she learns how to ride her new Peruvian Paso Horse, Excalibur. Most recently Felecia and her mount participated in a weekend riding clinic at Ringstead Ranch Ltd., in Chase, B.C. Peruvian Paso horses are 100 per cent naturally gaited and are touted to be “the smoothest riding horse in the world”. They are bred for emphasis on gait, strength, beauty, and brio (the horse’s vigor, energy, exuberance, courage and liveliness and beauty). Pictured is Felecia and her horse (right) work with another rider as a pair while holding a string between them at the clinic.
