They can cover lots of territory in a short amount of time. If you plan on riding 20 miles in a day, please condition your horse before you do it. Peruvian Paso horses will go until they collapse. They will give you everything they have, just to please you. Please take that into consideration. If you can hop off the couch, without doing any exercise, and run a marathon, great!
