Meet Our Paso Fino's

Maytrix del Wildflower

2007 Bay Gelding

Maytrix came to us all the way from Florida USA.  Wendy found Maytrix on the internet and fell completely in love with this beautiful boy.  His first few winters in Alberta, Canada were a pretty big shock to him, but we bundled him up and he has adjusted very well.  Maytrix likes nothing more than a crowd watching him, he is a true performer and is the perfect parade horse. 

Sire: Tormento de La Virgina

Dam:La Doncella de Venari

Selecta La Estrella

 2003 Bay Mare

Selecta was purchased from Startown Stables in North Carolina USA.  She is a stunningly tall mare for the Paso Fino breed at 15Hh. Selecta is a truly talented and naturally gaited mare who was shown at a national level before we purchased her. Her other tie to Canada is that her Sire El Czar del Azur was ridden by Shania Twain during a video in a Las Vegas Casino. 
Sire: El Czar del Azur
Dam: Tempestad La Estrella (back to Capuchino)

Andreas el Ray

2007 Chestnut Gelding

Andreas was purchased from Startown Stables in North Carolina USA.  Andy is a beautiful performance gelding, who is also quite the character.  He is owned and worshipped by Mark Yashchyshyn.

Sire: Deliro de Valparaiso

Dam: Reinita La Estancia

El Cisne de Blake-Cliff

2002-2023 Gray Gelding

Sadly we had to say goodbye to Cisne in the fall of 2023.
Run Free Sweet Boy.

Cisne also came to us from Startown Stables.  Cisne had the very special job in North Carolina of being the perfect beginner horse.  When Ana Iriarte (daughter of Startown owners) outgrew him we were very excited to welcome him here as the perfect breed ambassador.  He is truly an amazing Paso Fino that anyone can ride.

Sire: Profeta de Besilu

Dam: Dominica

Calista la Reina

deceased 2001 bay mare

Calista is a mare that will never be forgotten here at Willow Haven Farm.  Mark had an instant connection when they met at Startown Stables.  Mark had no intention of purchasing a horse, but one ride and she stole his heart. Calista was one of the most beautiful Paso Fino mares I have ever seen.  She had a breathtaking Performance gait. She stood a solid 15hh and carried herself like the queen she was.  Sadly we lost her to metabolic laminitis after a long battle we thought we had won.

Sire: El Czar del Azur

Dam: Reinita La Estancia

Chico

Buckskin Tobiano Gelding

Chico is a Canadian Paso Fino that landed at our farm after a very rough start. He was seized by the SPCA as a 3 year old untouched Stallion. We thought we would give this boy a chance at a new life, so we gelded him and sent him to school.  He has learned to trust and love people and is now a great pleasure riding horse.  Chico is always the first one to come running for cookies and attention.
