Our journey began in 1984 under the name Gray Barn Paso Finos, nurturing a small group of family horses showcasing Pleasure and Performance in Crabapple, GA. Motivated by our deep affection and enthusiasm for the Paso Fino breed, we eventually relocated to Anthony, FL, in 1996. Fueled by our dedication to excellence, our mission remains centered on prioritizing the best interests of both our cherished clients and horses. From nurturing National and International Champions to facilitating the discovery of the perfect equine companion for amateur riders, Winning Colors stands ready to guide you in selecting, breeding, and finding the ideal horse (or horses!) tailored to your unique needs.
