Location: ND | To me it's just a horse traders way of saying the horse is really broke. And since everyone's opinion of what really broke is varies it basically means nothing. |

| Maybe we saw the same ad recently with this term because I thought the same thing. From the description it sounds like Well broke. Because in the ad it went on to say he was a started reiner and went into all the different things the horse does.... |

Location: nj | Not sure.. but I do know that when I was looking for a horse last winter - the phrase people liked to use was 'the real deal' it was kind of a cliche that a number of people used - which didn't really carry much weight with me :)
