. personality 

Finn embodies all of the traits to be expected from a young horse, and despite his mild nature: he isn't too fond of heavy lifting. He's stubborn when asked for more than a basic trot, and is prone to stretching his neck as far to the ground as he can make it. Asking him to collect himself is a battle not many riders wish to engage, but if you're willing to fight him on it, you'll thank yourself later. It's much easier to get him working early on, and leniency won't get you very far by the time he knows you're not confident. Still, regardless of his inherent laziness, Finn has a lot of energy that seems to appear in spontaneous bursts. In the pasture, it's not common to see him bolting between horses and spooking the masses with his clumsy galloping about. He's the same way with cattle, and it takes a careful rider to keep him from going overboard with herding.

. origin & history 

Finn was purchased with the intention of being a lesson horse, but CBEC didn't have the resources to train him past being green broke at the time, so he was briefly stabled at Acetoma. After a year at their stables, Fiona Bailey approached with a private offer to purchase him, as she was looking for a solid AQH mount and helped train him originally. Finn was returned to CBEC after brief negotiations, and has since been continuing his training under saddle.
