I heard the expression "green horses" but I don't know what it means.
Is there some sport where they actually color horses green?
I really hope not...
This metaphor relates to the idea that a young tree is often called a green sapling. Young horses in training are called “green”. Whereas experienced horses are often referred to as “made”.
"Green horse" is also a phrase you want to avoid when you're looking for a horse to buy, lol.
Horses really aren't the color green, it just means they either have little to no training or they are not broke or never been ridden. right now i have a 3 yr old horse she is considered Green. The rider can also be called green if he or she is inexperienced. Hopefully you understand.
