April is just about here, so get ready for the Peruvian Paso Horse Festival! That's right. "Peruvian." One of my favourite words to say. For all your Equus action, head to Pachacamac about 30 km south of Lima. From there, keep your eyes peeled for Mamacona Stables.
You can get more info at peru.info, but you have to navigate through a couple confusing pages and it likes to switch back to Spanish. Of course, if you know Spanish then all the better.
This Peruvian horse is a special breed, with a high gait to handle travelling in the sandy coastal regions. The traditional costume of the riders is as seen below, and there are plenty of dressage style competitions to go with it.
The Festival is month long, so you have plenty of time to buy your tickets and hustle down to Lima. Listo?
I am very impressed you know what dressage means. Even use the term dressage-style!
