My OTTB changed my riding forever

I've ridden warmbloods, cobs, and Iberian horses, but my Thoroughbred taught me to ride with true lightness. He doesn't tolerate heavy hands or sloppy aids — he demands precision. That discipline made me a genuinely better rider. He's been with me six years, competes in eventing, and still takes my breath away galloping cross-country. A transformative horse.
