“If we want better riding, we need better questions.” — Don Stewart

The hunter ring is known for its elegance, but veteran trainer Don Stewart says it’s time to turn up the challenge. When courses are too simple, every round looks the same, leaving judges with little to separate good from great. Harder tracks with thoughtful turns, pace changes, and striding options don’t just make the competition fairer. They make the riders better.
