Art/Literary - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings | | English term or phrase: horses for courses | Vad finns det för bra motsvarighet på svenska för det här uttrycket?
Horses for courses means that what is suitable for one person or situation might be unsuitable for another.
A mostly British expression urging someone to stick to the thing he knows best, 'horses for courses' comes from the horse racing world, where it is widely assumed that some horses race better on certain courses than on others. |

Eller kan det röra sig om "Skomakare bliv vid din läst"?
Jag tror vi måste få lite mer sammanhang för att översätta detta på rätt sätt. De tre föreslagna svaren...
-Don efter person
-Rätt man på rätt plats
-Skomakare, bliv vid din läst
...skiljer sig väldigt mycket åt!
