This mare could be considered by some as a pinto. Obviously she shows a pattern of the sabino gene, pattern that for some she shows to much white. As if it’s a fault, they don’t know that pure Puerto Rican paso finos have that hereditary genes from the Berberisco breed and it’s natural of the breed to show white marks. They shouldn’t be considered as pintos. PPR pintos exhibit a tobiano pattern and as everyone know it’s need at least one of the parents to carry that gene in order to produce a tobiano.

She is a beauty! Also her little sibling who looks like a statue. Very well-rounded crup and the angle at the base of the neck, superb! Do you have any other pic of the baby?

Trademark Farms is owned and operated by Jerry and Stefanie Schermerhorn. They have been breeding Paso Fino horses since 1988, specializing in Pinto Paso Finos for over ten of those years.
Somebody told me ones that she was not a PPR. She believe her dam was 1/2 PR. I check her pedigree, but I can not find any Colombian on her pedigree. If, you find it any colombian on her pedigree let me know. Here is her pedigree:
She's pure and comes for the Scott/Lugo stock who were one of the few breeders of Puerto Rican Paso Finos that imported quality pinto stock from Puerto Rico.
Randilyn Scott and David Lugo shipped up one or two Federation registered pinto stock, which may have high probability of the pedigree being a true reflection of the horses' heritage.
Looking at the pedigree in greater depth will reveal very few sources of the tobiano gene.
Pinto breeders in the USA are challenged because they choose to try to breed homozygous for color and have very few sources to pursue this goal.
If I were a pinto breeder, I'd tap the SL lines.

Nino Pinto on her third generation was known to be a Tobiano pattern pinto. Nino Pinto came from Caramelo, a Mario Mercado (ppr breeder) Line. At least that one I know. I’m really glad to read this info you had posted BigJ because it’s good to learn that there is people in US who keep the breed alive and pure.
Very often I engage in conversation with many friends and breeders and all the time I bring the fact that there are ppr lines that we no longer have here in PR. Also I mention the breeders like Deb (pprpaso), who protect the breed intact and some others. Some of my friends come to realize that Some US breeders take better care of our ppr breed than us! Thanks for the info!
