The kids today ride the best horses money can buy at the various levels, and that’s not always the best way to learn how to ride. It’s very good to ride horses that are difficult, that are less well-schooled, that are maybe not perfect jumpers. Riding the harder problems is what really teaches you to be a good rider.
