Insignia
de Gracia is a 15 hand strong beauty and
foundation broodmare of half Colombian and half Puerto
Rican ancestry. She was the last offspring of foundation
mare Luisiana, who was Gracewood Farm's owner first Paso
Fino owned. Insignia has served faithfully as a mount
for all age Paso Fino afficianados over the many years
and also as a beginner lesson mount for Gracewood Farm's
horsemanship students.
Insignia's
way of going is for a smooth country trail pleasure ride.
She has given many test rides to new people to visit the
farm, and has proven her weight in gold for this reason
and for the quality of offspring she produces. Insignia
gaits very easy and has a very natural 4 beat Paso Fino
gait.
