Have you heard about Goldilocks and the three horses? The firstwas too bouncy. The second was too big. But, the third was justright. Estrella is a beautiful chestnut Peruvian Paso mare.At twelve, I had a horse to care for and ride. Riding was simple.Grab a hunk of mane, swing up and go.Next, as a busy Mom and military wife in Germany in 1983, I rodeweekly with a riding master. After some ring work, our group ven-tured through the forests outside Weisbaden.Fast forward to 2011. Newly retired, my heart is filled with joy againbeing around horses. Making that connection with my horse's soulmakes all the effort worth while.Looking ahead to another show and seeing you again.Gail Spence
My name is Patty andmy story begins aboutthree years ago. Atage 50, I decided tolearn to horseback ride.I found an instructor onthe Internet that taughtadults. She gave mesome basic instructionsthen had me ride a Pe-ruvian. The motion ofthe ride was incredibleand I was hooked. Mymost memorable les-son was my first trailride to a local river inFallbrook. It was a hotsummer day and the
horses went in to their bellies. I felt like a kid again. Sincethen I have come to own my first horse, Corazon Del Dios,'Cora'. She is 9 years old, a former show horse and agreat trail partner. The next trail ride will be back to theshow ring for Cora in a novice class for me.
My name is Linda and I always dreamed of having a horse. Last year Isaw the ad for Del Dios Peruvians and contacted Jody and started tak-ing riding lessons on a Quarter Horse, as she felt I should learn on aregular horse first. A month later I took a ride on her Peruvian stallionand I was hooked. I bought him (RRI General del Dios) and have beentaking lessons, going on trail rides and to shows since then. My life haschanged since owning my own horse and I am in love with the Peruvianbreed. I have formed special friendships with the ladies at my boardingranch and we are now traveling to Peruvian Shows, learning as much aswe can about the breed. We have also visited several PeruvianRanches, as I am hoping to add to my horse experiences. Looking for-ward to watching my own horse compete. I feel so blessed at my age tobe able to ride and to experience the joy my horse brings to my life!!
Remember that feeling when you boughtyour First Peruvian Paso Horse??These New Faces have been seen at the recent shows!!
They are NEW owners of Peruvian Paso Horses.They have “THAT GRIN” (you know the one) on their faces, to prove it!!
My name is Debbie Bachna.I moved here from Cleve-land 6 years ago. I lovedand owned horses growingup but didn't get connectedin California. Then my sis-ter bought me a month oflessons with Jody Childs atDel Dios Peruvians for mybirthday . I started takingmy lessons in March 2012.I quickly fell in love with Pe-ruvians because of the nobounce ride. I purchasedHMS Athena in May fromHoracio & Mary Kay Santos.I have accompanied theother ladies to two horse shows and now I have the"Show bug". I also joined a ladies trail riding group forhorse camping and have gone to Caspers WildernessPark and Montana de Oro. I thank my sister repeatedlyfor giving me the best birthday present ever!
This is Glenda Schumann and her yearlingRoyal. He was born on the day of the royalwedding of Prince William to Kate. Glendabegan owning Peruvians about four years agoafter owning a miniature horse. She alsoowns Royal's mom Bella. You can findGlenda at the ranch most any day spendinghours with her horses.
Here is a photo of Salsera and me (Lisa MarieWalker). This is our FIRST time out on the trailtogether! We are having a blast at Montana deOro, riding, camping, riding & riding!! I love theidea of being featured in the Los AmigosNewsletter!!

Just a note to let you knowthat Rosalinda arrivedsafely in Crescent City.She has adjusted nicely toher new home, although Iknow she really misses theactivity going on and all thecomings & goings atJorge's Training Center...aswell as Jorge himself andher stable neighbors.She is one of only 5 horsesat the new facility. I've hadto do a lot of riding by my-
self since I'm the only one that rides everyday. Whenwe do ride with others, they have to trot to keep up withus since she is the only gaited horse.We've had some great beach rides, and we'll be ridingthe trails in the Redwoods this week.Hope everyone had a wonderful time in Las Vegas andcame back with lots of blue ribbons.Both Rosalinda and I miss you all. We'll be thinking ofyou...and wishing you great success at all of the upcom-ing shows. Looking forward to seeing everyone again inNovember.Happy Trails,Chere' Hewlett
From Jo Ward, Ward’s Peruvian Ranch ~~We have no PP boarders. We do have a barnfull of Jr riders all competing, but on Arabs. Wehave one Jr who swam from Alcatraz to a yachtharbor in S.F. in 38 minutes. Stuff like that.We had a definite down sizing for a few months.We are now full again. Vern has recovered fromhis spinal fractures, but was left with stenosis(pinching of nerves in the spine). He is doingmuch better, but is walking with a cane. Cannotwalk for extended periods of time. We wouldlove to get to a show, but that's not in the cardsin the immediate future.Hope your show is a great one.

Agenda Topics1. Brochure ~~ Barbara Windom’s daughter, Rachel, has designed a bro-
chure. A copy was sent out by Joline via email to the RACmembers to review. Barbara had 2000 copies printed, somewere distributed and the rest of them are at the Office inSanta Rosa. They are for use at events and Edie asked thatit be uploaded to the Officers and RAC’s Information Sectionof the website. They can then be printed on demand forvarious clubs’ functions.
Jim Alexander had also emailed a brochure to the RAC mem-bers for review. This is the old Peruvian Paso Horse Promo-tion brochure. Joy Redman and Tammy Rimes produced itand are giving NAPHA permission to use it. It was designedin 2005 and has good detailed information for new members.Jim will get a price for reproducing and/or recreating it.
At the New Orleans meeting, we had discussed producing aDVD. Edie had asked for footage of trail riders and otherevents to create a compilation of the various venues for ourhorse.
Debbie said that Cheryl Aldrich has several from her tours inPeru. Lynn said that the Palmers also had DVD of rides inthe mountains. Jody Childs and Bobbi Taylor may also havefootage of their competition last fall in Texas. Edie said thatproducing a DVD is not much more expensive than printing acolor brochure.
Edie noted that, once the CLRC transfer is complete, therewould be an Eblast from the Board of Directors giving infor-mation on the NAPHA updates and on the new brochures.
2. Judges for National Show, 2013 ~~ RAC members suggested that there be a separate judge for
Performance classes. Edie commented that the budget would likely define whether
two judges would be feasible. It was also a concern that some judges have been used
frequently in California and that a good number of exhibitorswould be coming from the West Coast. Joline suggested notusing the judges who have judged shows in the West andCharles Melton said that the by-laws provide for suggestionsfrom the RAC to the Board of Directors. The final choice willcome from the Board members. The Board has asked theRAC members to poll members in their areas for suggestedjudges names and to report back to Joline by July 5th. Thiswill give the Board a general idea of the wishes of the mem-bership. Joline will send the list to the RAC to distribute.
3. RAC Resignations ~~ Rick Ovenburg of Region 5 and Debbie Jennings of Region 10 have
tendered their resignations. Joline advised that we need replace-ments for those 2 positions.
Lynn Kinsky also mentioned that her JOR work would become bur-densome later this year due to health issues. Issues are the advanceof funds to buy the awards and the amount of work needed to put theprogram together. Edie said that the Board would provide Lynn witha prepaid card to use. The Board can also have Mary Emmons backLynn up and take some of the workload from her.
4. Regional Updates to Joline Joline said that only a few of the RAC members are copying her on
the message that they send out to the people in their regions. AllRAC members are to copy Joline in the future.
5. Membership Committee Report ~~ Michele reported on behalf of Manny Brito, Membership Chairman.
The listing of part blood owners was sent to committee members tocontact. Because the list was incomplete, i.e.: missing or incorrectaddresses, phone numbers, it was difficult to reach many of these oldmembers. Manny has put together a mailer and this will be sent outwith the intent for the undeliverable mailers to be purged from the list.This will give us better contacts.
6. Board of Directors and RAC Elections ~~ Joline advised that RACs should look within their region if their term
is up. RACs cannot serve more than 8 years.7. Show Rules ~~ Kathleen reported on an ambiguity in the rules for Part 6 that was
confusing to exhibitors. There is a new procedure in place for send-ing in comments for changes in the rules and Kathleen was asked toput the information together for the Rules Committee.
Other discussion was on the 40% Gait requirement for Performanceclasses. After much discussion, the general thought was that wehave a gaited horse and 40% should stand as it was put into therules.
Other Business ~~ Carolyn asked if there was a way to allow members to change their
membership information on line. This will be referred to Lionel, whowas not on the call at the time.
Edie and Charles asked for suggestions on National Show locationsfor 2014 and 2015.
With no other business to transact, the meeting was adjourned at 7:12 PMPST.Respectfully submitted,Michele Wilson

Whenwe do ride with others, they have to trot to keep up withus since she is the only gaited horse.We've had some great beach rides, and we'll be ridingthe trails in the Redwoods this week.Hope everyone had a wonderful time in Las Vegas andcame back with lots of blue ribbons.Both Rosalinda and I miss you all. We'll be thinking ofyou...and wishing you great success at all of the upcom-ing shows. Looking forward to seeing everyone again inNovember.Happy Trails,Chere' Hewlett
From Jo Ward, Ward’s Peruvian Ranch ~~We have no PP boarders. We do have a barnfull of Jr riders all competing, but on Arabs. Wehave one Jr who swam from Alcatraz to a yachtharbor in S.F. in 38 minutes. Stuff like that.We had a definite down sizing for a few months.We are now full again. Vern has recovered fromhis spinal fractures, but was left with stenosis(pinching of nerves in the spine). He is doingmuch better, but is walking with a cane. Cannotwalk for extended periods of time. We wouldlove to get to a show, but that's not in the cardsin the immediate future.Hope your show is a great one.

Agenda Topics1. Brochure ~~ Barbara Windom’s daughter, Rachel, has designed a bro-
chure. A copy was sent out by Joline via email to the RACmembers to review. Barbara had 2000 copies printed, somewere distributed and the rest of them are at the Office inSanta Rosa. They are for use at events and Edie asked thatit be uploaded to the Officers and RAC’s Information Sectionof the website. They can then be printed on demand forvarious clubs’ functions.
Jim Alexander had also emailed a brochure to the RAC mem-bers for review. This is the old Peruvian Paso Horse Promo-tion brochure. Joy Redman and Tammy Rimes produced itand are giving NAPHA permission to use it. It was designedin 2005 and has good detailed information for new members.Jim will get a price for reproducing and/or recreating it.
At the New Orleans meeting, we had discussed producing aDVD. Edie had asked for footage of trail riders and otherevents to create a compilation of the various venues for ourhorse.
Debbie said that Cheryl Aldrich has several from her tours inPeru. Lynn said that the Palmers also had DVD of rides inthe mountains. Jody Childs and Bobbi Taylor may also havefootage of their competition last fall in Texas. Edie said thatproducing a DVD is not much more expensive than printing acolor brochure.
Edie noted that, once the CLRC transfer is complete, therewould be an Eblast from the Board of Directors giving infor-mation on the NAPHA updates and on the new brochures.
2. Judges for National Show, 2013 ~~ RAC members suggested that there be a separate judge for
Performance classes. Edie commented that the budget would likely define whether
two judges would be feasible. It was also a concern that some judges have been used
frequently in California and that a good number of exhibitorswould be coming from the West Coast. Joline suggested notusing the judges who have judged shows in the West andCharles Melton said that the by-laws provide for suggestionsfrom the RAC to the Board of Directors. The final choice willcome from the Board members. The Board has asked theRAC members to poll members in their areas for suggestedjudges names and to report back to Joline by July 5th. Thiswill give the Board a general idea of the wishes of the mem-bership. Joline will send the list to the RAC to distribute.
3. RAC Resignations ~~ Rick Ovenburg of Region 5 and Debbie Jennings of Region 10 have
tendered their resignations. Joline advised that we need replace-ments for those 2 positions.
Lynn Kinsky also mentioned that her JOR work would become bur-densome later this year due to health issues. Issues are the advanceof funds to buy the awards and the amount of work needed to put theprogram together. Edie said that the Board would provide Lynn witha prepaid card to use. The Board can also have Mary Emmons backLynn up and take some of the workload from her.
4. Regional Updates to Joline Joline said that only a few of the RAC members are copying her on
the message that they send out to the people in their regions. AllRAC members are to copy Joline in the future.
5. Membership Committee Report ~~ Michele reported on behalf of Manny Brito, Membership Chairman.
The listing of part blood owners was sent to committee members tocontact. Because the list was incomplete, i.e.: missing or incorrectaddresses, phone numbers, it was difficult to reach many of these oldmembers. Manny has put together a mailer and this will be sent outwith the intent for the undeliverable mailers to be purged from the list.This will give us better contacts.
6. Board of Directors and RAC Elections ~~ Joline advised that RACs should look within their region if their term
is up. RACs cannot serve more than 8 years.7. Show Rules ~~ Kathleen reported on an ambiguity in the rules for Part 6 that was
confusing to exhibitors. There is a new procedure in place for send-ing in comments for changes in the rules and Kathleen was asked toput the information together for the Rules Committee.
Other discussion was on the 40% Gait requirement for Performanceclasses. After much discussion, the general thought was that wehave a gaited horse and 40% should stand as it was put into therules.
Other Business ~~ Carolyn asked if there was a way to allow members to change their
membership information on line. This will be referred to Lionel, whowas not on the call at the time.
Edie and Charles asked for suggestions on National Show locationsfor 2014 and 2015.
With no other business to transact, the meeting was adjourned at 7:12 PMPST.Respectfully submitted,Michele Wilson

From Jacob Martinez & Theresa Longo,Rancho de los Cielos ~~We have kept our Peruvian Paso con-nections for years, although we are con-centrating on Mangalarga Marchadorsnow. Right now, we would like to getthe news out: " the sale of imported andAmerican made Peruvian saddles, mov-ing sale with discounted prices, some"grand pieces" made with a flair andcomfort, some almost brand new, showand training saddles, beginning at $400.Contact Jacob at 951-961-6529."
Why I Love Open ShowsBy Carolyn TruskowskiSpring has arrived and the show season is about to begin. The best place to get ready is at an Open HorseShow. The competition is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Luckily for all of us in Southern California wehave Saddle and Harness right in our very own backyards in Horse Town USA, aka Norco. They have sevenshows starting in February and ending in October. Earning year end points are easy as it takes only four showsto qualify. The more shows attended the better your chances to win a division.The best thing about this show is it exposes your horse to every possible kind of equine, including mules anddonkeys pulling carts. Soon the horses settle in and leisurely eat from the hay bags while tied to the trailer.Attend a few of these kinds of shows and your horse will be a seasoned veteran of the Open Show circuit.Tack and attire are fairly simple as Peruvian saddles are allowed for Western classes as well as the GaitedClass. The attire can be Western or one can wear any long sleeve shirt, long pants, and boots. The Englishclasses require English saddle and attire, however. This is a great place to start if you are new to showing orjust want to give your horse a nice tune up. The show starts at 8:00 am and is over for the saddle portionaround noon. Halter Class, (3) Western Classes, (3) English Classes, and one Gaited Pleasure Class allowenough diversity for one to choose one discipline or choose to ride in all seven saddle classes. The End ofYear Awards have been fabulous and several of our members, to include myself, have won very nice jacketswith the embroidered Championships listed on the jacket. Silver Belt Buckles and key chains were amongsome of the awards crafted by Molly’s Custom Silver and won by members.The camaraderie among our Peruvian group is one of the draws together with the fabulous Breakfast and lunchserved by the Lion’s Club. While riding in a class I was overcome with hunger smelling the burgers and hotdogs barbequed on the hot grill.The Peruvians horses have made a good impression this year and we have had at least 5 horses at each of theshows and placing in all the saddle classes. The versatility of our Breed is apparent and the gentle nature ofour horses along with the fact that we have the “smoothest” ride has made an impression. The judges havecommented on the smoothness of our horses and how lucky and fortunate we are to have the luxury of a “nobounce” ride. There is exposure to the public, plus interest we create by simply showing of our beautiful Peru-vian horses .The benefits of showing in an open show are many: NAPHA and SCPPHC Open Show Awards. S&H Year EndAwards. Exposure to the public. Versatility. Fun! Fun! Fun!!!
From Jan Tuck ~~I'm not a ranch owner, trainer or breeder but, I LOVE the PeruvianPaso!! In 2004 I acquired my first one, a gelding LNR Increible. Atthat time I also owned a Paso Fino gelding. Through the years I'veseen a lot of mares and have been turned off by the "marish" atti-tude and have said, "I'll never own a mare!" Well, as they say,'NEVER SAY NEVER!' My friend Tammy owns several horsesand I have fallen in love with, yes, her gelding Tesoro. I've alsospent time with some of her other horses and one of her youngmares really caught my attention, however, I wasn't thinking aboutbuying another horse, especially a mare. Then one day she toldme that she was going to sell this young mare, SBRP Isabella. Forsome reason, my interest peaked. Since I love a challenge, I de-cided to see what would happen if I tried to bond with her. I like touse treats to get a horse's attention but do not believe in overus-ing them. Well, I got her attention!! Her pen was round and I wouldgo inside and sit on the ground in the middle of the pen. It didn'ttake long for Isabella, aka Bella, to realize that I had somethingyummy in my pocket & she soon found the pocket it was in andwould come & put her nose on my leg. When I would just sit thereand ignore her, she would walk around me and come up behind meand sniff my back & my hair. By Sunday, July 8, 2012, she wouldfollow me around the inside of the pen like a puppy. Needless tosay, by then I was in love....WITH A MARE!!! On this same day,she was transported to Paseo Del Traza in Temecula to start train-ing under the capable hands of Janic Arllentar Danino. After arriv-ing, she was treated to a bath and when I arrived she was standingcalmly while having her tail combed out. It was evident to me thatshe had also established a good rapport with her new trainer andhis report to me today was that she was calm and happy and doingwell. I can't believe, that at my age, I've purchased a 4-year-oldmare but I am one excited new owner seeing a lot of promise in my new adventure.

(KABC) -- Firefighters performedan aerial rescue of three horses and their riders Friday afterthey were stranded in Trabuco Canyon.The first rescued horse was tranquilized, but it took five min-utes of the horse being airborne before crews rested theanimal in a safe landing spot."You have to do a little bit different than you would with, say,an inanimate object because you have something downthere that's alive," said Karim Slate, who piloted the rescuehelicopter. "So we watch it pretty closely and don't fly it toofast, make sure that the animal looks fairly comfortable.Slate says he flew about 50 mph. There were tense mo-ments, but the landing was a success.With one horse out of the scene, firefighter Scott Lake andhis crew went back for the second horse."He'd been there for six hours and so the time, the exhaus-tion level on the horse was starting to get to him. So we weredoing everything we could to hold him up and just wait for thehelicopter to come in and get the horse out," he said.The two airlifted horses were on a four-day trail ride throughthe Cleveland National Forest. The U.S. Forest Service saysit is unclear how four horses and their riders ended up in theravine Friday morning.One horse died during the ordeal, and the fourth horse wasable to walk out from its location once a path was cleared.For the rescuers, handling horses is part of the job, but thereis uncertainty when dealing with large animals."Normally when you have a patient, you can talk to them, youcan interact so you can comfort them verbally. With a horse,you're petting them, and you've got to really make sure thatyou're in the areas that they're comfortable with you beingthere," said Lake.The operation was time consuming and executed with care.Once the horses were out of danger, the riders were hoistedfrom the ground. They were not injured.The three horses that were rescued appeared to be OK.Fire crews landed in Fullerton following the rescue.

One horse dead, three being rescued from Trabuco Canyon ravineUpdate: 2 Horses Airlifted, Another Dies
These were the headlines in local papers, May 4 & May 5, 2012. Reports came to some of us at the Fiesta of the Spanish Horsethat a fellow Peruvian Paso Aficionado, Bill Bence, was on this ride. Then, the news that he had actually been in the group ofriders in trouble. Later, we heard that he & his horse had survived the incident. Following was found on the Internet ~~
From Dana De Pello, Full Gallop Farms River Buffalos(www.gotriverbuff.com) ~~Here is a photo of my "Biblia LF" 15 yr PP mare, trailhorse deluxe, BUT she cleans up nice for a paradehere in Penn Valley Ca. It was Rodeo time for thearea.Other photo: The trail area in the pic is Lone Grave (offHighway 20 East) above Nevada City Ca, new trailhead that Gold Country Trail Councils built with tons ofvery beautiful trees and soft paths, and awesomeviews! Ride all day or just make a short loop, eitherway nice riding.
(Editor’s Note: I asked Dana how her Peruvians felt about the Buffalo)My PP don't mind them at all, but they were raised with them. Biblia was not raisedwith them, but I use her at team pennings and she will flat get a cow. She rates andfollows them very well. I started training her to follow and push a big Ball then went tocows. She already had the idea to follow stuff down. She was not halter trained tilshe was 4 years old, and I've had her 2 years. She has come a long way and wouldgo thru Hell on a trail if you asked her.I also have Biblia's yearling Buckskin daughter, "Isabel" (photo). She is a true gem and mynext trail buddy when the time comes. PP are not like the other breeds. They are very sen-sitive, and smart. Not for everyone, that's for sure, but I sure love mine after having APHAand AQHA for years, they are a nice change.

On June 24, 2012 in the city of Eagle Rock, CA, the Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun) was celebrated at aprivate residence. By invitation, Jorge Valenzuela & Julia Mann were invited to perform La Marinera. Tosee their performance, please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CMhsS-Ms3U&feature=share
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MarineraMarinera is a coastal dance ofPeru, generally called the"National Dance of Peru."Marinera is a graceful and ro-mantic couple's dance that useshandkerchiefs as props. Thedance is an elegant and stylizedreenactment of a courtship, andit shows a blend of the differentcultures of Peru. The danceitself has gained a lot of recog-nition and is one of the mostpopular traditional dances ofPeru. The origin of the Marinerais generally traced back to theZamacueca. Nevertheless,there are various other theoriesabout where it comes from.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inti_RaymiInti RaymiDuring the Inca Empire, the Inti Raymi was the most important of fourceremonies celebrated in Cusco, as related by Inca Garcilaso de laVega. The celebration took place in the Haukaypata or the mainplaza in the city. The Inti Raymi ("Festival of the Sun") was a reli-gious ceremony of the Inca Empire in honor of the god Inti, one of themost venerated gods in Inca religion. According to chronicler Gar-cilaso de la Vega, Sapa Inca Pachacuti created the Inti Raymi tocelebrate the new year in the Andes of the Southern Hemisphere.The ceremony was also said to indicate the mythical origin of the In-cas. It lasted for nine days and was filled with colorful dances andprocessions, as well as animal sacrifices to ensure a good croppingseason. The last Inti Raymi with the Inca Emperor's presence wascarried out in 1535, after which the Spanish conquest and the Catho-lic Church share it. Inti Raymi is still celebrated in indigenous cul-tures throughout the Andes. Celebrations involve music, colorful cos-tumes (most notable the woven aya huma mask) and the sharing offood.

Western States Horse Expo is held the second weekend of June for 3 days. The weather is usually 80 de-grees and clear. So enough chit chat. This is a great event where we can get the public informed of ourwonderful and beautiful horses and is one of the Wine Country Peruvian Paso Horse Club's primegoals. Our club rented a double booth which we fill with wonderful tack borrowed from Maria Barrena alongwith art items, pictures, ponchos, hats, and scarvesfrom Peru. We try to inform the public with brochuresand had informational videos playing of our wonder-ful horses. The public enjoyed looking and touchingthe saddles, pellon, side saddle and asking questionsabout the tack. And I don't know about you but Iloved showing and telling everyone I met about ourhorses and tack.
Out in the barn area our club had 2 horses on exhibit,Larry Braun's 11 yr old roan mare Amada, and my 20yr old bay mare Confianza. Most people would lookat our horses just standing in their stalls andthey think big deal, until we took them out for awalkie. Then as Peruvian care takers you waitfor it and then you see the expression changeto wonder once they see our horses in mo-tion. That is the best experience, and we tookour horses out often to either ride in public orwalk. Larry and I perform a routine called"The Courtship" which we performed on Fri-day and Sunday. Nola Giddings brought 6 ofher student on Saturday and they did a beauti-ful job in front the crowd.
Without the help of so many club membersvolunteering their time, knowledge and experi-ences we would not be able to succeed in thisventure. Also the Registry for bro-chures, Peruvian Quarterly for their calendarsand the list goes on. Many thanks.

Horse Club and giving riding lessons keeps me quite busy.On June 8-10, 2012, the Wine Country Peruvian Paso Horse Club
(WCPPHC) participated at the Western States Horse Expo at Cal Expo in Sacra-mento, California. I was there from Thursday, June 7, to set-up the Club booth andto tear down on Sunday, June 10. I also brought my mare, TLR Amada, to be onexhibit throughout the weekend and rode in 2 performances with my riding partnerand WCPPHC Vice President, Debbie Abrams during the weekend.
On June 23, 2012, my wife, Rossana, and I hosted the Wine CountryPeruvian Paso Horse Club General Meeting and Peruvian Paso Festival at ourranch, Terra LarRossa, in Petaluma, California. The event included a Peruvianlight lunch catered by Sazon Peruvian Restaurant of Santa Rosa, California.There were three horse performances by Club members in our sand arena: NolaGiddings, Kim Hall and friends performed a beautiful 4-horse precision drill, LuisCastaneda rode elegantly in a gait exhibition, and Debbie Abrams and I performedour well known duet routine—“The Courtship”. There were 2 teenage marineradancers who won over the audience of more than 100 Club members and theirguests. During lunch, a Peruvian musician who traces his ancestry to the Incasplayed 5 different instruments to both Andes music and contemporary tunes.
Miguel Payet, the Peruvian Consul General Adjunct from the San Fran-cisco Consulate and his wife were our special guests along with the son, daugh-ter-in-law, and grandson of the former Peruvian Consul General, AmbassadorNicolas Roncagliolo. Many of the guests knew little or nothing about the PeruvianPaso before the event, but showed great interest in educating themselves about thebreed throughout the day. The weather was picture perfect—temperature in the low70’s with a pleasant breeze. The new NAPHA brochures were passed out as well ascalendars from The Peruvian Quarterly.
Then, on Sunday, July 1, 2012, Debbie Abrams, and I once again performedour “Courtship” duet at the 1st Annual Lake County Horse Council’s Fiesta of theHorse held in Lakeport, California, atthe beautiful event center, Rancho dela Fuente. WCPPHC member andformer President, Mickey Harman,was our announcer. The performancewas well received and was anotheropportunity to showcase the PeruvianPaso to a horse community that haslittle knowledge of our gaited horses.
Finally, on July 4, 2012, I anda team of 5 other riders and PeruvianPaso horses rode on behalf of theWine Country Peruvian Paso HorseClub in the Calistoga 4th of July Silverado Parade. The horses were decked out in their Peruvian tack and patriotic red,white and blue neck ribbons. The riders wore traditional Peruvian riding attire--white pants and shirts, ponchos, scarvesand hats. The streets were lined with hundreds, maybe thousands of parade watchers. Everyone seemed to enjoy ourhorses as we heard many onlookers say “beautiful horses” as we rode by. The riders were Deborah Beebe, DonnaCrowley, Dennis Makemson, Darcie and Bill Owen and me. Rossana Braun and Kay Olmsted carried the Club banner.
