American Spotted Paso horses are the American version of the
Peruvian Peso horse. One of the main goals for American breeders is to combine
the smooth gaits of the Peruvian Paso horse with the colorful coat patterns of
the pinto.
They originated with a pure black Paruvian Paso stallion
named Janchovilla who was bred to pinto mares. Of the resulting foals about 3/4
of them were spotted and all of them carried the Paso gait.
There are two different registries for this breed for
animals with different degrees of Paso blood. However, to register with either
the animal must have one purebred Paruvian Paso and exhibit the four-beat
lateral gait.
