I ws looking at buying a percheron tb cross i ride dressage what do you think2007-11-24 21:17:22

Hes a 2yr stallion really sweet and willing to learn. He stands at around 15.3 hands right now. I show first level dressage with my current horse and im looking at getting a new horse to train myself. I was just wondering if he would make a good dressage horse or not.

Answers:

A perch./TB cross would make a perfectly fine dressage horse. But if it comes down to the line, it wont beat a warmblood. Warmbloods, especially german bred ones, are BUILT for dressage. They naturally come onto the bit easily and have free lateral movements. My TB mare has been ridiculously difficult to collect... sadly, without a warmblood in dressage you often feel like you have to earn your points even more. I'm not saying AT ALL they cant win, I saw a fjord cross win 2nd level at championships last year, but it definetly is easier on a warmblood.

If you're not absolutely sure, wait and try out some more.You KNOW when you and a horse click. because you realize you just cant live without them in your life. It makes it *so* worth it.

:-D

hmm...well a percheron/tb cross would be more of a jumper. If he has thoroughbred in him, he might be a little edgy when it comes to patient calm things like that. I have a thoroughbred/Clyde, and they are not willing to do dressage at all. Althought im sure that horse would be an amazing at something quick/ agility .hope this helps =]

Sounds like you are looking at a warmblood, which are great all-purpose horses for both competitive and recreational activities, including the major international equestrian disciplines of dressage, jumping, 3-day event, and driving.
