PERUVIAN
PASO EXHIBITION - one day introduction to the peruvian paso horse
Peru
has declared the Peruvian Paso horse as Patrimonio Cultural, part
of the national cultural heritage. Our one-day program will give you
a chance to experience why this horse is so admired, and so essential
to the Peruvian identity.
Your day at the ranch starts at 10:00 am, with coffee or tea, followed
by a short tour of the premises and an introduction to our national
horse. We will show you our breeding studs and working horses, our
state-of-the-art nutrition system, and the inner workings of our riding
operation. We will talk about the history of our breed, our equitation,
and the importance of keeping our Peruvian equestrian traditions alive.
The tour of our ranch will be followed by a short video (of approximately
20 minutes) about the history and characteristics of our breed. Around
midday we offer a demonstration of the Marinera, a graceful dance
performed between the chalan (Peruvian horse trainer) on horseback
and a beautiful female dancer. In this dance each partner demands
from the other the same qualities that the chalan demands from the
horse. To dance the Marinera on horseback requires a complete mastery
by the chalan of the enfrenadura, a reining exercise that goes back
to the 18th century. The dance demonstrates elegance, skill and a
little bit of arrogance.
After the show we will enjoy a typical Peruvian parrillada (barbeque)
with, of course, a Pisco Sour, our famous National coctail. For each
guest we have a small ceramic bottle of Pisco as a gift and souvenir
of this day.
Price per person: $75 (min. 4,
max. 10). |
