I must say that in general you are right, but there are 2 kinds, if I can say so, of dressage: "sport" dressage where are used taller horses of lighter build and classical dressage where are usually used so called "baroque" breeds (Andalusian, Lipizzaner ...) that are a little shorter and have medium build.carlWoof wrote:Could've sworn i replied to this, but apparently, i have not.Tenacious Equine wrote:I 100% agree! Not to mention that real-life upper level dressage horses are generally of a much lighter build than the HWO ones (honestly, I think that if Agility replaced Strength as a dressage stat, it would help encourage lighter-type horses while still making sense from a realism standpoint, as the more advanced dressage maneuvers require a very agile horse).
Or maybe i forgot to Submit. Chalk it up to lack of sleep and umpteen coffees.
Yeah, even though i'm not breeding or competing anything beyond drafts, i've noticed some really odd body shapes in the rankings and competition results and went to look and sure enough, there's weird stuff all over the place. And yes, you're right, dressage horses look way too heavy.

But there's baroque and there's this:

And the fact remains that light or very light horses on here don’t do as well in dressage.Pieta wrote:…
My own horse is of a similar size and build to the classical dressage horses, and he’s much lighter than most of the more successful dressage horses I’ve seen on here. (He’s haflinger/paint and 15.3hh)
