With the most recent episode of GOT there have been lots of discussion in the reviews about dragon riding, do you need Targaryen blood to ride a dragon and of course A+J=T.
I don't think its Targaryen blood but rather you need Valyrian blood in order to bond and ride a dragon. After all the Targaryens were only 1 of 40 dragon riding houses in Old Valyria. They weren't even that powerful of a house if what we know is true.
Lots of people seem to think that you don't need an special blood due to Nettles. Just feed it sheep and be nice and you too can ride a dragon. This is BS and did no one read the World Book? Nettles is a dragonseed. A dragonseed is a bastard from Lord's right to the first night that comes from Valyrian stock (Targaryen, Velaryon etc) So she does have the blood and the sheep is just a smart way to keep your dragon happy.
From the World Book:
From the Princess and the Queen:
I am not sure why so many people miss this clearly stated thing. So what do people think? I think you need Valyrian blood to bond and ride a dragon. What does everyone else think?

From the World Book:
SHEEPSTEALER (Nettles): A wild dragon tamed by a dragonseed, vanished at war's end.
From the Princess and the Queen:
But now voices on the black council were raised to question Ser Addam’s loyalty. The dragonseeds Ulf White and Hugh Hammer had gone over to the enemy … but were they the only traitors in their midst? What of Addam of Hull and the girl Nettles? They had been born of bastard stock as well. Could they be trusted?
