A listener wrote in that she recently got a new trail horse, and
she said, “he's supposed to be a "super finished" trail
horse.”
But he is not acting the way she imagined a finished trail horse
should…
Which brings up the question: What is a finished horse?
There are many categories that can be used to evaluate a horse,
and often there are different levels within each category. In
addition, ‘finished’ in one area doesn’t necessarily mean finished
in other, more basic areas.
In this episode, I explain the two most common versions of ‘finished’ and how to define them.
I also share how my view of ‘never finished’ has also positively impacted my relationship with my horses.
