As above really and what level scores etc you get together!
Did you get them purposely for dressage?

oh ok any excuse to show him off 
there's a video of mine on this thread http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=528946
i didn't get him purposely for dressage ,i bought him as i felt sorry for him with the intention of selling him on ,but as you can see he's rather nice and he is still here
he is a pure bred welsh cob from the hillgarth stud and started competing in dressage at the end of december last year with a couple of walk n trot test and has already progresed to novice due to restrictions in our area ,he was scoring 70 - 78% in intro tests ,i think his best score in prelim was 76% and he's got just over 60% in his first novice
hope thats helpful to you

This is my 148cm ex racing pony doing stressage (taken a few months ago, have progressed since)
He works fabulously at home to elementary level but at shows he freaks out in the arena and we tend to have very tense tests so we compete at prelim but moving up to novice very soon in the hope that a more complicated test will make him concentrate better and not be silly. Our best percentage is 65% but he is capable of much better at home.
He was a pit of a panic buy really in the hope just to do a bit of everything with but mainly jump. I've recently decided that I want to push him dressage wise, as he has got it in him he just needs more ring experience.
We may even give byrds a go at the end of the summer (have a laugh at our expense)
but a friend at my yard has said we won't get laughed out the arena despite the fact we definitely aren't dressagey.

Here's my ex-racer doing dressage.
(permission to post this pic):-
We do unaff and BD prelim and Novice classes with scores unaff of up to 70% prelim and 65% Novice, BD we have scores up to 68% prelim and 60% novice. He has done 3/4 novice tests and has 2 points.
No I didn't get him as a dressage horse but as an allrounder. He does eventing, showjumping and showing as well as dressage.
He likes dressage and he's very good at concentrating and trying his best, he has nice paces for it.

Compared to the stunning, behaved horses on this thread mine's a bit of an embarassment 
We have been to a total of three shows, and have been placed third, foruth and last ( In that order) our highest % was 66% Which he really did not deserve!
He's got an okay walk and trot, can do the occasional leg yield, rein back and walk pirrouette but he has a mental block when it comes to canter and that holds us back lots. That and the nervy oversized hairy cob and lanky jockey stirruped rider!
His job was originally to do a bit of everything, but it turns out both of us fail at jumping (we can both do it, but unfortunately not at the same time..) So we were converted
A really Pooey test pic
And a boring walking picture!

I'm guessing my ID counts?
Baby Rhythm...
Prelim last weekend...one test 1st place on 82.63% and other test 1st place on 70%
A few weeks ago-can't remember the %'s but we got one unplaced and a 5th place
Another from a few weeks ago...both classes unplaced
And our first time out...a fourth place and a first place!

Oh go on then OP...
Here is my wonderful little arab, he had mostly done endurance when I got him in 2003...
He now works comfortably elementary with a few fancier tricks, he's good at lateral work, not so good at mediums etc which will hold him back competitively. He's won a fair few novices at unaffil and dabbled in BD prelims fairly successfully a few years ago. He's also done BE80/90 and RC showjumping teams
PS top photo bought as a digital social networking image, lower one taken by a friend!

Shadow, 10yr old Welsh Cob. Bought just to be my first horse, happy hacking and a spot of showing. He's now working Advanced Medium at home, competing Elementary.
Last year we went to the Petplan Champs, as a Novice horse he is easily a 70% horse, but the step up to Elementary has proved a bit harder. Still we shall get there with hard work and perseverance

My 5 year old highland doing a novice (the one and only novice he's done )
scoring maybe 58-60 in that test, normally 65-70 prelim, unaffiliated obviously. He finds collection easy, lengthened work less so, but main hinderance is the jockey, natch

The yellow pony - 14.2 connemara, neither of us is very good at the whole dressage diva thing though (working hard to improve with a new instructor and he is coming on loads) and he hasnt done a dressage test since last summer so hoping scores will improve.
Sorry photo over load

I do a bit of dressage to break up the showing with my lovely boy, and I have said when he's achieved what I've wanted to achieve in the show ring I will make a full switch to dressage as he seems to have a bit of a talent in there somewhere

My little appy x doing prelim tests. We've done novice before but it wasn't great so have taken her back to prelim and we're now getting fairly consistently decent scores, with potential to improve. She's a sweetheart I need to sort myself out though!

Lovely thread with beautiful horses!
Nice to see 'non-dressage types' dressaging.. I have one of those and hope to do stressage so it's very encouraging

my 14h2 was welsh x arab
looked like this with no tack (and slightly unfit )
but transformed into this (all photos ancient and taken by my mum )
Edit to say we only competed to Elementary (mostly unaffil as from Jersey but with very highly listed judges) but had good scores and were training medium and higher but he struggled with changes but was doing pi/pa as it was the best way to 'wake him up' for both dressage and jumping

Lovely Luce the ex-racer
went up to FEI young rider levels, and grade 4 para, both nationally and internationally. Sadly sold as he was getting on and I'm looking for a horse able to go to top levels, if it was for his earlier colic surgery and splint it could have been him though.
