Reach: Michigan and Ohio
This organization actually got its start in 1969, when Dr. Carolyn Ziegler secured two Paso Finos to exhibit in the Ohio West All Breed Fall Roundup. SHortly thereafter a meeting was held in Youngstown, Ohio and the regional group was formed. In 1972 the Great Lakes Paso Fino Federation was incorporated as a non-profit organization in Ohio. In 2002 the name was changed to the Great Lakes Paso Fino Horse Association. As a region, Great Lakes has been very active in the national organization. We have been very active in non-show events, including trail rides, parades and other get-togethers.
