Finn is a tall, athletic woman with a commanding presence. She has short, sun-kissed brown hair, usually tucked into a practical cap or tied back in a loose ponytail. Her skin is weathered from years of working outdoors with horses, and her hazel eyes reflect both focus and empathy. She has an easy, confident smile but can quickly turn serious when training or competing. She is often seen wearing functional, durable riding gear — breeches, boots, gloves — and a signature leather jacket she’s had for years.
Finn grew up on a horse farm in Kentucky, where her family bred and trained standardbreds for harness racing. As a child, she was always around horses but initially had no interest in driving. However, after an injury ended her career as a show jumper at age 19, she turned to driving and immediately fell in love with the sport.
She began working with older, more experienced trainers to develop her skills, eventually becoming a driving coach herself. Finn’s passion for Combined Driving grew, and she quickly rose through the ranks to become a respected competitor and sought-after trainer. Her success in competitions, particularly in the marathon and cones events, earned her recognition in the horse-driving community.
Over time, she began to train and mentor young drivers. Finn is an excellent communicator who knows how to adapt her teaching style to different students. She is patient but firm, with a deep understanding that the best training takes time and trust. She believes in creating a strong bond between horse and driver, building a relationship based on respect, patience, and mutual understanding.
She thrives in the competitive world of horse driving but encourages a collaborative, community-driven environment. She is always willing to lend a hand to a fellow trainer or competitor and sees every challenge as an opportunity to learn.
Finn is known for her tough-love approach, pushing both horses and drivers to be their best, but never at the cost of their well-being. She is deeply connected to the horses she trains and always emphasizes their care, both physically and mentally.
