It depends on the discipline you're going into. Most people breed Belgians for Logpull/Driving disciplines. You can get an idea on the best builds for those by taking a peek at the record holders.

My Belgian (not the original Belgians you see on here) is REALLY good at barrel racing

To add on, here's a guide that helps with certain types for certain events ^-^

You don't strictly have to breed Belgians for driving and log pull, HorzeLover101 breeds belgians for racing, It's just what everyone goes to because Belgians are a draft breed which is mainly focused on strength.

If you want to breed for a realistic looking Belgian they mainly have heavy bodies, short legs, a Roman face shape and they average 16 to 17 hands. Their temperment is generally is docile and friendly,

If you need any help with Belgians, feel free to let me know!
I've been breeding them for about 3 years now and am happy to help and let you use my lines : D
