Welcome to the Georgia Paso Fino Horse Association

CONGRATULATIONS to GPFHA for winning the USEF Breed Competition in the Paso Fino Division December 16, 2009 Gwyn Wright GwynDale Farms 1682 Butter And Egg Road Hazel Green, AL 35750-8319 Email: paso64@mchsi.com Rosanne Gmuer 16026 SW 20th Avenue Rd Ocala, FL 34473-8802 Email: RosieGmuer@aol.com Re: USEF Favorite Breed Competition Dear Competition Officials, In 2009 the United States Equestrian Federation held the “My USEF Favorite Breed Competition” contest. On December 9, 2009 USEF sent a press release announcing the winners for each breed. We would like to congratulate the Four Beat Jubilee Horse Show on being included in the list of winners! We don’t get a lot of evaluations (good or bad) in a year’s time and the fact that your exhibitors took the time to tell us about their positive experience at your show means a lot! We’d like to share some of those comments with you below: 1. “This is an unbelievable show! The personnel who run it are agreeable and so eager to please. It is if you have a red carpet for everyone. The show always has a fun dinner and Paso Fino games afterwards. It is the most ‘user friendly’ show I have ever attended.” 2. “It’s the best.” 3. “I have been riding Paso Finos for 10 years. They are smart, intelligent and to ride with their spirit is a joy all by itself. They can go all day if you let them. I compete with the ones I have trained and raised from babies. They are noble, gentle and loving. When I rode my first Paso Fino, I knew right away what I wanted to ride the rest of my life.” 4. “Awesome show.” 5. “Excellent organization, helpful staff. If you have any problems, there is always someone there willing to help you or find someone who can help you. They had their largest show in 2009, which is a testament to their growing popularity, even in this declining economy.” 6. “There are great horses to compete against, the Georgia Paso Fino Horse Association membership works very hard to make this show fun, competitive, well-organized, and Southern hospitality is liberally given to all who come to the show.” 7. “The show was so perfectly run. The people handling the whole event were helpful and knew what they were doing.” 8. “Georgia PFHA and show management are always friendly and helpful. The show runs smoothly and efficiently. The show is priced affordably. Volunteer personnel maintain a fun but professional demeanor. The facility (and its personnel) is first class, perfect for sunny or rainy weather, kept clean and a pleasant place to be. Food from concession (as well as food provided for Saturday night dinner) is good.” 9. “This was a very well organized show with enthusiastic show officials.” As a breed category winner, you will be receiving a 2009 Favorite Breed Competition plaque from USEF sometime in January for this accomplishment. Once again, we would like to congratulate your competition on being one of the favorite USEF competitions among Paso Fino exhibitors. We appreciate your efforts in making this USEF competition a special event for exhibitors each year and thank you for continuing to hold USEF licensed competitions in the future. Please look for the voting to start up again in 2010! Sincerely, Lori Nelson

Welcome to the Georgia Paso Fino Horse Association

In 1976, the Georgia Paso Fino Owners and Breeders Association was created by a small group of owners in the Atlanta area. Since that time, we have evolved into the Georgia Paso Fino Horse Association which has become a statewide (and beyond!) organization consisting of outstanding horses and people. We are able to enjoy our horses together in a variety of functions, from trail riding to showing. Our annual Open House and Fun Show kick off spring with the opportunity for our members and others to come out of hibernation and ride, ride, ride! The Open House has grown to become a two day event complete with a clinic, fun show and games.

As well, our 2009 4 Beat Jubilee Show surpassed all expectations with the promise of an even better turnout for 2010. From trail riding to Paso Fino shows, from clinics to parades, we are introducing more and more people to the wonderful world of the Paso Fino. As a group, we share our “Paso” experiences and information with each other as well as new and prospective owners in hopes of increasing the pleasure of owning and riding these fine horses. GPFHA prides itself on being a diverse group, all of whom have one thing in common: the love of the Paso Fino. More people than ever before are interested in the Paso Fino and want to be involved with our organization. GPFHA will be there to encourage and inform any and all who are interested in this wonderful breed.

Even though we know that the Association is a business, we will never loose sight of the fact that “it” is all about the Paso Fino, family and friends! GPFHA is alive and doing well! In the years to come, we hope to make more new friends as well as see those familiar faces. We will never forget our humble beginnings as it keeps us striving for the growth, preservation and future of the Paso Fino!
