About Syringa Ranch Paso Finos
Located near Bonners Ferry, Idaho, Syringa Paso Finos is a family oriented ranch owned and cared for by husband and wife Larry and Maridel Merritt. We are second-generation Paso Fino owners and breeders following the legacy started by Maridel's parents in the late 1960s.
Syringa Ranch is a small operation where friendships and honest dealings are truly important and every horse is a member of the family.
Not a fad or a phase - a lifetime committment.
The foundation for Syringa Ranch started with a little girl who wanted a horse for Christmas. A girl who promptly stated, "No. I wanted an Animal Horse!" when she unwrapped the wooden rocking horse. Even at three years of age Maridel knew what she wanted and just as importantly what she didn't want.
Larry grew up in a small central Idaho town where his family worked and played in the great outdoors - archery, fishing, hiking, camping and hunting were favorite activities shared by the whole family. Larry also shared a pinto-colored pony called "Marshmallow" with his brothers and sister.
Maridel introduced Larry to Paso Finos and he's been "hooked" ever since. He enjoys trail riding and is an excellent ambassador and supporter of the Paso Fino breed.
With their smooth gaits and sure-footed nature, our Paso Finos are wonderful mounts. We ask, "Why ride anything other than a Paso Fino?"
Our breeding program produces Paso Finos that are fun to own and ride.
