  Dun Paso Fino gelding

FS Classique

This week we'd like to introduce FS Classique, a handsome dun Paso Fino gelding owned by Jan Belanger of Waverly, Ontario. Junior, as he is affectionately known, is 14.2 hh and was born June 10, 2000. Jan bought Junior as a four month old baby, raising and training him on her own. Jan enjoys trail riding and camping with Junior. He has logged over 300 hours on the trails! Junior's owner says he is a real people horse - very quiet with a sweetheart personality. He is very well gaited now that he is 6 years old. Junior has lived most of his life with Taz and 2 other mules, Jan says he thinks he is a mule too!

This feisty Paso enjoys spending time on his back legs just to keep his owner on her toes. A sidesaddle is in the works for Junior as Jan, a very talented lady, makes sidesaddles in her "spare" time. She may also teach him to pull a cutter, like his littlest mule brother does. This horse seems to be able to do it all. Upon entering his first and only horse show this summer, the ECPFHA Fun Show in Teen Ranch, he won the High Point Paso Fino trophy as well as High Point Gaited Horse. Way to go Junior!

Congratulations to FS Classique for being our January 8th, 2007 Horse of the Week!
