Welcome to the home of the
Peruvian Pasobilities Mounted Drill Team! |
 |
 |
The Peruvian Pasobilities Mounted Drill Team is an all-Peruvian horse precision drill team. Its members come from Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana to practice and perform, thrilling audiences across the southeast since 1996. The drill team offers a way for owners to promote the wonderful Peruvian horse and have fun and fellowship at the same time. |
 |
The Peruvian horse is perfectly suited for performing, with it's arrogant presence, flashy front leg action and full mane and tail. Owners are also finding that the Peruvian's temperament is steady and willing- even eager- to perform, even under most trying conditions. |
|
Our growing group of couples work hard to provide the most unique attractive and entertaining equestrian drill team. The horses in the drill team are chosen for their tractability, smoothness and "brio" a willingness to please. All these characteristics are inherent in the Peruvian breed. |
Attired in traditional Peruvian show saddles and headgear the magnificent Peruvian horses exhibit their naturally smooth 4-beat gait- with no artificial training devices and most often no shoes at all.

The Peruvian's gait allows the rider a perfectly smooth ride with no vertical bounce - only a gentle side-to-side swaying motion. An elegant outward rolling motion of the forelegs (called termino) is icing on the cake, making the Peruvian instantly recognizable.
The Peruvian Pasobilities combine maneuvers such as pivots, crossovers and weaves with up beat music that gets the audience up and moving to the beat, as the horses and riders perform their musical dance.

In addition to exhibiting at parades, horse shows and special events, the Peruvian Pasobilities have performed at all breed horse fairs in Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Mississippi. At Breyerfest in 2002 they won the Gaited Horse division of the drill team competition held during the festival. Part of the award given was an invitation to ride in the Pegasus Parade in Louisville, during the Kentucky Derby celebration, which was a thrilling experience. In April of 2003 they performed at the Equine Affair in Columbus, Ohio, North America's most prestigious equine event, where they were featured in the evening show. "Fantasia" for two nights before a capacity crowd of 5,000 people. They have participated in many parades and rodeos. After winning first place in the equine division of the Christmas Parade in Jackson, Mississippi, they and other Peruvian riders were invited to ride in the Governor's Inaugural Parade.
