Breeding world-class Paso Fino Horse with passion and tradition
Hacienda Santa Maria is a Paso Fino horse farm in Erin, Ontario, focused on breeding, foal development, herd care and the sale of quality Paso Fino horses. The farm also offers riding instruction, horse experiences and educational visits.
A Legacy of Passion
As dedicated supporters of the Paso Fino horse breed, we import authentic Colombian Paso Finos each year and employ Colombian horse trainers to refine our horses’ natural gait and brio. We carefully select horses from the finest Colombian bloodlines, who show excellent conformation and willingness and demonstrate the best of the Paso Fino gait. We hope to establish a vibrant Paso Fino horse community here in Ontario, so every equine enthusiast can experience “the smoothest riding horse” in the world.
