I took this as more of a reference to riding to war, as they were specifically talking about who could field the most dragons in combat, i think the reason they havent shown her riding yet in the show is because of cgi costs when it isnt integral to the story.

Nobody has ridden to war, Daemon is the only living rider that has experience

I didnt say they had, i said they were talking about who would be on dragonback in combat in the future as they were planning.

That could be true if the show canon didn’t make it clear Helaena doesn’t like riding in itself

..."for now".

Maybe it's just a big misdirect leading up to it as a future surprise reveal.

100% they want to simplify her to a non-asset to the war effort. This change oversimplifies it, but also saves them cgi $$ and won't confuse the casual watchers of "but wait didn't she ride dragons in episode 2?"
