Our Foals:

The Foals of Shalom Paso Fino Farm are foal imprinted at birth. We had done some of this naturally with our Apaloosa's down through the years. We have added more to the process after reading the book Imprint Training of the Newborn Foal by Robert Miller, DVM and watching his video Early Learning. Another video that has aided us is by Pat Parelli called A Natural Beginning.

We have found that imprint training has been an asset to this breeding program. All our foals are handled within the first two hours of birth, and then repeated sessions over the next several days. They can be haltered, you can pick up their feet, they allow leading as well as handling all over their bodies. We are able to worm without stress and the first farrier visits go very smoothly, I believe due in a great part to the imprint training.

	Pintar Natika de Shalom: 2001 filly - NOT FOR SALE! This filly has been tested homozygous by UC Davis. She is bright, full of energy, foal imprinted and is doing Parelli games on the ground. She is a daughter of world champion Santana del Cardo and Rainforest Zarabandista. We are looking forward to having her in our mare band as she matures. Tika knows all seven games now, too.
	Cabriola de Shalom: 2001 filly - "Little Miss" is every bit a lady. She is a very refined daughter of Carnival de Carmin, a regional champion owned by Ken and Lenora Schuldt of Arkansas Pepper Farm. Her dam is Bonine Carmen. She has a lovely headset and correct carriage and confirmation. She is a lovely dark charcoal that is quite attractive. She knows all seven games now!
	Sorpresa de Shalom (registration pending) 2002 filly. Sorpresa is a tall filly - black with white on both front feet on cornet band. She is out of Santana del Cardo and Rainforest Zarabantista. She was named Surprise in Spanish because we were so surprised by a solid colored filly out of two very colorful pintos.
	Remanso's Malvavisa 2002 filly (registration pending). Sierra was named by the vet's children who assisted in her birth. She is out of Bonnie Carmen and one of the few foals of the late Remanso do Plebeyo. She is a very refined filly who will be a lovely legacy of her sire.

We attended Savvy Days in Wichita and won a trip to Pat Parelli's International Study Center for the Horseman's Savvy Conference. The time spent learning his program and attending clinics given by his certified instructors has been well spent! Learning to play the Seven Games of Natural Horsemanship has led us in developing our horsemanship and we are so pleased with our foals! We know you will be, too. If you would like to see our horses playing these natural games, follow this link! Thank you!
