THIS IS a well-suited class of aged Paint mares, though at a horse show, they’d all be presented standing square, which is the best reference point to compare and accurately analyze their angles. At a show, I’d also be able to walk around and see them from every viewpoint, but I’ll give my best assessment based on what I can see in these photos.

Ranch Sorting Drills For a Dull Horse
Some horses are born eager to hunt a cow, while others—no matter how broke—would rather conserve energy and hang back. A horse that's dull to your leg or slow to react can make working a cow frustrating and unproductive. The goal isn't just to get through the run—it's to teach your horse to drive up into a cow with purpose and maintain forward momentum without constant kicking or nagging from you.
