Above are pictures of some training shots of my Pure Puerto Rican Stallion Legolas , trained in the classical Baroque manner . He is a giant of a Paso Fino at almost 16 hands . Here he is doing a FINO gait in hand , some true Piaffe steps brought about through the use of the counted diagonal walk used to get the horses pelvis tipped , the back and withers up , note the desent of the reins . The horse maintining this lite balance is then asked to go forward in true Fino Lateral gait while maintaining the desent of the hand . A few steps of Shoulder in are also shown in hand , the horse now executes the lateral moves also in gait. Horses trained in the old style of the Masters can execute the gaits with the lightest of contact and perform al;l of the lateral gaits of the trotting horse , improving strength , balance and gait .
