Greengait
Farm Paso Finos
Located
in the mountains of Western North Carolina (Tryon, NC) about
40 miles from Asheville, GreenGait
Farm Paso Finos started informally in the year 2000
with Bill and Judith Kerns looking for a closely matched
pair of horses to be a part of their wedding plans. Judith
brought many years of riding and breeding experience in
the horse industry to the union and Bill brought a deformed
hip, low golf handicap, and a ton of enthusiasm. As a part
of their search they attended the Piedmont Paso Fino Horse
Association’s Asheville Show. Their hearts were won
over by the smooth gait, natural elegance, intelligence,
and willing disposition of the Paso Fino Horses. Soon thereafter
a pair of Paso Finos became residents of GreenGait Farm,
and transportation to their wedding.

Several
Paso Fino additions later, Judith decided to fulfill a
childhood fantasy and enter the show ring with some of
our horses. Our first year was an experience beyond our
best expectations. Our Paso
Fino Pleasure stallion, El Santon de United won
most of his classes and several Grand Championship ribbons
at shows in the Southeast. He capped the season off winning
National Champion in the 4 year old colts/geldings class,
and being awarded the high point stallion in his class
by the Piedmont Paso Horse Association.
Our second season proved even more successful with a National
championship in the Pleasure Stallion class and as Reserve
Grand National Champion Pleasure Stallion. El Santon received
his Title of Proficiency award with over 500 show points
earned and a second year as the High
Point Paso Fino Pleasure Stallion in the Piedmont
region.

A mild four season climate, coupled with a vast supply of
some of the country’s best horse trails, makes Western
North Carolina a great location for horse lovers. Our Paso
Finos not only turn heads on the trails, they have proven
themselves as the consummate trail horse, providing comfort,
stamina, and a wonderful spirit.
