The term "Walkafino" (which describes a Tennessee Walker/Paso Fino cross horse) was coined by a Northern California resident by the name of Dana McElroy. After acquiring one of these beautiful creatures, she did a lot of research and found the "Tennuvian" breed (which is a Tennessee Walker/Peruvian Paso cross), but no where could she find a specific breed name for Paso Fino/Tennessee Walker cross. The breeder of the animal that Dana acquired told her that the Paso Fino's were being bred to the Tennessee Walker's to add more bone and substance to their physique as well as a mixed gate. Paso Fino's are considered a "hot blooded" equine and the Tennessee Walker blood will even out their temperament.
