At one time the breeding and exporting of horses was a large part of the Puerto Rican economy. Many of the horses of Mexico have bloodline roots in Puerto Rico, including the favored Paso Fino horse.
Both the Paso Fino and the Thoroughbred horses are still a large part of life there and the local people have a high respect for horsemanship.
Horse in Spanish is: caballo
