HR, I will REALLY look forward to pictures when you can get them. I completely understand the weather thing. Mine are still a little fuzzy, and even our trees are a few weeks behind where they should be. I want to get some pics of mine up soon too.
Candice, I see what you mean, but didn't exactly get where it came from. Not the mention of Evidencia, nor HR's stallion, unless you were commenting on how info was posted about both without classification?
This thread has been one of the best for me.

I see what you mean Britz.
I overreacted, HR. My apologies...

I thought maybe that was the case. It wasn't harsh, I just wanted to clarify.
I agree totally with the statement that though classification kind of goes with our US market, there's certainly not enough predictability to use it the way its used.

Absolutely no offense taken -- it's very healthy to debate this subject and certainly keeps me thinking about ways in which I describe these critters and how it may be interpreted by others. Press on, MacDuff (or Candice, in this case) -- you are absolutely doing the right thing!

Well, they tend to be very quiet in the croup and along the topline in general. This is very important with the Resorte IV horses who tend to be rather sloppy sometimes in their footfall causing too much concussion and the noisy croups. Although RIV offer brilliant performances they lack some percision and elegance needed.
Paso aficiandos don't like "noise". We look for everything to be very still excepting the ears, which should be active, alert, listening. The head, neck, shoulder, loin, croup, hips, and tail shouldn't show allot of movement. Classico excels in this and as do many of his offspring. He did have a problem with his head bobbing, but I think that was a training issue. His croup movement is nonexistant and that's the ideal for pasos.
Extasis and another, JLM's Clasico de Victoria are very exciting to see! Extasis, to me, represents an excellent blend of the Chucuano/Resorte cross. His phenotype is more elegant lending to Resorte, but his movements are quieter, much more deliberate.
I should have put this in the Chucuano thread!
