Welcome to Casa de Ladera
Casa de Ladera is a small farm nestled in the hills close to the Mississippi River in Northwest Illinois. It is dedicated to the breeding, raising, and training of the American Paso Fino Horse. We have selected some fine mares to breed with the best stallions in the country. To keep our operation efficient we may breed only one to three mares a year and devote our full attention to bringing you a magnificent companion. We strive for the strongest Paso Fino gait, a disposition that riders of any level of experience can appreciate, and conformation that allows the horse to give you the smoothest ride in the equine world today.
We invite you to spend some time in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere of our home in the hills just eight miles South of the Moline IL. Airport. Learn about the advantages of the Paso Fino. We offer a variety of services to the first time horse owner as well as the experienced rider. Come and enjoy the smoothest ride ever.
Take a ride and let your next horse be a Paso Fino.
