or so that we’ve had enough Paso
Finos to market," Mrs Glatfelter
noted. “Right now there are about
7500 of these horses in the U S. and
it's recognized as the fastest
growing breed in the country ”
About a decade ago, she reported,
there were only a few hundred
Paso Finos in the U.S.
The Paso Fino (Spanish for “fine
gait,”) originated from a select
group of mares and stallions
brought to the New World by
Columbus on his second trip here.
In the ring the horses are shown in
traditional Spanish garb and they
are known for their elegance and
“bnos,” another Spanish term
which roughly translated means
"fiery spirit willing to please its
master.”
The Glatfelters began resear
ching the Paso Fino in 1970 when
the horse was almost extinct on
this continent. Mrs. Glatfelter said
she had a back problem and had
heard that the Paso Fine’s
carefully and liked what we saw, but we
thought something more should be
added So our NOW Account-our

remarkable gait was so smooth
that an observer could not see any
up and down movement in the
shoulders of the horse’s rider
"Obviously,” she added, “we were
not disappointed when we finally
experienced the breed.”
She noted it is the necessity of
that personal experience with the
horse that prompted the farm to
conduct Open Houses where the
breed could be seen and ridden
“The Paso Fino is the horse for
anyone looking for a fine pleasure
or show horse,” she concluded.
“And investors who get in on the
ground floor of this breed are going
to profit enormously.”

Tobacco
inspection
rules set
WASHINGTON, D.C.
The U.S. Department
of Agriculture has
approved new rules
governing the in
spection and grading of
imported tobacco.
Liomel S. Edwards, a
marketing official with
USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service, said
the rules carry out
provisions of the Dairy
and Tobacco Ad
justment Act of 1983,
which requires in
spection of all tobacco
offered for importation
into the United States,
except oriental and
cigar tobacco.
Regulations gover
ning the certification of
imported cigar and
oriental tobacco will be
proposed at a later date,
Edwards said
The act also gives
USDA authority to fix
and collect fees from
importers to cover, as
nearly as practicable,
the costs of such ser
vices. The fee has been
set at $.0035 per pound.
USDA received nine
comments during a
public comment period
when the rules were
proposed. After
studying these com
ments, USDA changed
the rule that would have
required an importer to
send the inspection
certificate to the
director of the Tobacco
Division, AMS, when the
entire lot covered by the
certificate has been
sold, manufactured or
exported. The importer
may dispose of the
certificate when one of
these criteria is met.
