A horse should have a mixture of hard and soft soil, if not it could stress or strain the tendons.
Horse riding can impact on the environment as some horses trample the grass and growth leaving a 'trace' and compacting the soil resulting in no more flora growing in that spot, but, if you go to most horse riding places, they have trails that have already been trodden on and therefore not impacting any other part of that environment allowing it to grow.
Horseback riding has a fairly minimal impact on the earth compared to motorized vehicles of any kind. But their hooves can churn up muddy or lose soil and cause soil erosion if not taken care of in a timely manner.
Yes...it is best for a horse to train in mixed soil
Too hard of soil can bruise a horses feet and legs, rocks can make a horse misstep, mud can be slippery. Too soft of dirt can cause a horse to work too hard or slip.
Make sure that the soil is not to hard and not too sticky then it will be just right!

Yes, the quality of the soil can impact a horse's performance and overall health. Good-quality soil provides stability and support, reducing the risk of injuries and discomfort for the horse. It's important to regularly maintain and monitor the condition of the soil to ensure the horse is working on a safe and suitable surface.
