Having got very little experience of the breed (more experience with Welshie part breds), what's this breeds potential in the dressage arena??
 
Don't have a pure bred but know lots- No reason they can't do dressage up to a reasonable level, you'd need a well put together one to get beyond elem but lots are fab ponies with flashy actions and plenty of power so could go right up the levels with the right rider. I mainly know driving ones but plenty of them are at about medium level under saddle.

That's really promising to know, I'd really like to get one to Medium (if not further), I know of a stallion abroad that's training PSG, and while I understand he's probably an anomaly but it'd be nice to think there are others out there with potential!

What breed is your little chestnut chappy that does a bit of stressage?
 
My section C is rather smaller than most (12.2HH) but can jump like a stag and moves like a Warmblood (always did well at dressage even though it wasn't our bag!). You can see her jumping in my sig. and here she is showing her paces

The cobbier one is 7/8th C, the bright chestnut we don't know the breeding of- probably BXhackneytb. Only unaff and with very little schooling the cobbier one holds his own at novice and gets 60% elem, he's not naturally gifted though ;) :)
 
Not really - Maybe if I had to stop driving ;)The lighter weight one I might affliate at elem/medium next winter depending on how next summer season goes :) Ging is really fab at prelim/novice but tbh that doesn't inspire me :p
 
Well I have a Section D so just a bigger version :) as a breed they are well suited to dressage at lower levels, although they will struggle as you move higher up the levels. But there is no reason with the correct training that you couldn't do very well :)
