La Marinera



Friday 11 April 2008
We visited the Asociación de Criadores y Proprietarios de Caballos Peruanos de Paso today, to learn about and ride the Peruvian Paso horses. They are good work horses, but are much better known for their unbelievably smooth gait. I really enjoyed riding - it was the smoothest ride I've ever had on a horse.
The highlight of the day, however, was when a woman came in to demonstrate the Marinera, or local dance. She danced alone for a bit, and then she danced with the horse. Yes, these horses are so amazing, they can dance. How about that?
