Just 3 days short of the 4th month since Tara "foundered" we completed a 10 mile River Rise Challenge Trail ride. That's my girl Tara!!! The very special person with us is Amanda Johnson, one of my "adopted" daughters, we celebrated her 13th birthday together. A great time was had by all. |

Storm of Angels {Faraon de San Isidro/Pilotita Sin Par} gelding - Piloto's Tara Sin Par {Piloto Sin Par/Aria de Pastor} Filly and Elle Dinamica de Plebeyo {El Dinamico/Aria de Pastor} Filly On a sad note we lost Nom on October 21, 2005 at the age of six years due to complications from Laminitis. She passed away the same way she lived - with such grace. She will be missed by all of us in the herd. |
My Dear Bichon Frise of 15yrs -01/03/1990 to 07/16/2005 The Passing of Teeger How do I begin to measure the absolute comfort, joy, and happiness that you brought into my life? I can't begin to express the feeling of total emptiness in my soul. I look at the sofa where you spent your days lazing about - unless we had a mouse to hunt in the barn, or had to run out to the mailbox to get the mail, and it looks so lost and empty without you on it. I can't remember a time when you weren't sitting on my lap, sleeping cuddled up in my arms or sitting on the golf cart waiting for my return from a ride. You were my baby, my dearest child, my best friend. I will miss you til my last day on this earth - you will always be "mommy's little bear" Find peace my sweet - find peace and know I love you. |
Tara Fino Ranch was started in 1993, with a small 5 acre farm in Sarasota, Florida and a 4 stall barn. I got hooked on the Paso Fino breed with my initial purchase of an El Pastor grand daughter ~ Pilotita Sin Par (a/k/a Tia). I am pleased to offer pasture boarding and training services to other Paso Fino owners. As well as bookkeeping and tax and immigration form services. I am also a Notary for the State of Florida. I have been riding since I was six years old, and have had a love of the equine since before I could walk. With formal training in the United Kingdom, to western pleasure, to dressage, and hunter jumper training in Canada, and have put 12 equines undersaddle to date. I use a gentle approach to training and build a trust from the moment of first contact. At 24 months of age I can put a saddle on my trainees and just start riding. The level of trust and love you get back from this kind of daily involvement with your horse can not be measured in $$ only in the feeling of having made a true and honest connection. Locacted in Anthony, Florida on what is commonly referred to as "Paso Fino Lane" because of the abundance of Paso's and Paso Trainers on the street, I have ten of the most lovely acres in pasture with unlimited access to the surrounding riding trails. If you don't own a Paso Fino ~ get out and experience one! Once you do ~ you'll fully understand why everyone says "It's the ULTIMATE RIDE!!" I was honored to receive the 2002 Pasos for Pleasure Award. With over 1384 hours logged for 2002 and a total of over 4000 hours as of 6/1/03. And in 2004 I again received this honor by being the first in the group to acheive the 5000 hour mark. The saddle I received from Don West Saddles is absolutely wonderful.

Storm of Angels: Spring of 2007 before the white line and laminitis hit in July. As of the spring of 2008 we are back to rideable, free of pain and have had an amazing amount of foot growth. With very heart felt thanks for the great care and help going to my Vetrifarrian Dr. Ben Neighbors 352-843-2541 and my farriers Brian Hoey and Bill Harden of BH Farrier 352-438-6265 . Without these great gentlemen and a lot of vet wrap I don't know if he would have made it through. |
