Do you think its better to have an instructor that understands the type of horse you are riding and their weaknesses/strengths or does it not really matter? I ask because I am now looking for my 3rd instructor in a year because my previous ones don't seem to understand that I have a 15hh tank built to go in straight lines and not a warmblood! I feel like he is being compared to other horses and it's not fair on him, I feel like I am being told to ride a different horse to the one that is in front of me. I am not really sure what I need to be looking for in an instructor but wondered whether it was worth finding people who are out competing cobs at dressage who also teach as they may have a better understanding. I know not all cobs are the same (nor are any horses) but wondered if this would be a better starting point than my current approach!
