Your instructor/ trainer ride?
I have seen mine teach because it was through the local riding club that our paths met. She was reasonably priced because she hadn't at that time finished her qualifications.
I did my exams through her and we just seemed to gel even though at that time I was very much in nh camp with my own. (I had to borrow a horse that wore a bit for the exam, shorten up my reins and tell my bum a treed saddle was comfortable!)
But, I have never seen her ride a horse. I don't feel I need to because I like her gentle but firm if necessary thinking. She isn't going to ask me to do anything I wouldn't already.
She hasn't ridden the cob, her view is she teaches me and I feel and feedback. If I really really struggle the chances are I will be off and doing it on the ground.
I can't ride a leg yield, but I can longrein it, don't ask. It's just how it is.
