Description
"This refined and powerful breed traces its lineage to the horses carried from Spain to the Dominican Republic by Christopher Columbus. The Paso Fino, whose name means Fine Step, is an athlete with a unique gait in two speeds and forms of collection: the Classic Fino (slow, full collection) and Paso Largo (fast, moderate to minimal collection). Paso Finos come in every base color, with or without markings or patterns. A rare few have a genetic trait known as tiger eye—an iris in shades of orange, yellow, and amber. The Paso Fino is popular for trail, endurance, and pleasure riding, mounted games and horse trick shows. The breeders of Jorvik cultivated the natural stamina, smooth gait, and calm temperament of these magnificent companions, so prepare to sit comfortably in the saddle all day"!
Unique Features
The Paso Largo
Note: The horse must reach level 7 to perform this gait.
While most breeds in SSO only have five gaits, the Paso Fino has six. This special gait is called the Paso Largo. To make your horse do this gait, the horse must be walking. The player then must hold down the Shift key and then simultaneously hit either the up arrow or the 'w' key. The Paso Fino will then begin to perform the special gait. During this gait, the horse cannot move to a faster gait or jump. To stop the Paso Largo, simply slow your horse down like you would with any other.
The Classic Fino
Note: The horse must reach level 7 to perform this move.
The Paso Fino can perform a special move called the Classic Fino. The animation can be activated by pressing the spacebar, but only when standing still, otherwise the horse will jump instead of performing the move.
The Reining Slide Stop
While all of the horses in star stable will technically come to a "Hard stop" if the player presses the "X" button when in a full gallop, the Paso Fino has a special stop method found in western reining. When it is in full gallop, and the player goes for a hard stop, the horse will instead perform a "Slide stop."

Trivia
- Paso Finos have three unique gaits: the Classic Fino (AKA Paso Fino), Paso Corto, and Paso Largo, only two of which are implemented in game.
- Paso Finos tend to have longer tailbones than other horses, this has caused them to flag their tails in what is known as a J-tail (or scorpion tail). When exited or presenting themselves, their tails lift in a J-shape and trail after the horse like a flag.
- The Sylvan Unicorn, Calder, Ephyra, Phoebe and Tynan use the Paso Fino model.
- Players who purchased a Paso Fino when they were accidentally released, before their removal later that day, could keep and ride it before its official release date.
