About Gracewood Farm Paso Fino Horses -- New Hill, NC

Welcome to Gracewood Farm
Driving down the winding country road that wraps around the aged wood fencing, visitors may see Paso Fino mares and foals grazing peacefully on the gently rolling pasture in the spring and summer. The horse barn and pre-Civil War Farm house (est. 1810) are nestled among towering pines and hardwoods. Located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, the farm is about twenty miles southwest of the North Carolina state capital Raleigh, in the community of New Hill.

The New Millenium for Gracewood Farm Paso Finos
Gracewood's plan is to be true to the qualities that made the Paso Fino desireable in the United States back when the first Paso Fino importations came from Colombia, South America in the late 1960's and early 1970's and for today's demanding recreation market ... natural gait, amicable disposition and proud beauty. Thus, Lynn Gallup acquired Emperador La Estrella in 2002 who embodies all these wonderful qualities desired in today's versatile and beautiful Paso Fino horse. His is a prepotent pedigree to meet today's American market even at age 25. A pedigree of importance of prepotent quality and desired Paso Fino traits!

Gracewood is carefully selecting the Paso Fino broodmares which will deliver the Paso Fino foal crop for Gracewood from Emperador La Estrella. Some of the Paso Fino mares' bloodlines represented include Majestuoso, Profeta, Castellano, Hilaches, Resorte III, Faeton LaCE, and Guamani. Excitement will be in the air for the spring as all the little Emperador(s) go ...tica...tica...tica in perfect paso fino rhythm with that "look at me" attitude!
