Foundation Bloodlines

Our Peruvian Pasos are heirs of terrific foundation stock, renowned bloodlines recorded in Peruvian Paso history. The celebrity of some of the greatest stallions continues to endure for Limeno Viejo, Limenito, Oro Negro, Elegante, Piloto, Sol de Oro V, Fina Estampa, and Soberano as decade after decade their heirs record repeated and continued brilliance and wins in the show ring both in both North and South America.  La Zapata became one of the most renowned broodmares of the twentieth century, for she gave birth to the most important modern foundation stallion in Northern Peru, Limeñito.
