Just a an observation really. Sister's first warmblood, by Welf, that she had almost 30 years ago looked as though she could pull a plough. Her next 15 years ago, by Flemmingh, seemed to be a lot lighter, then she had one by Dimaggio 3 years ago that was almost TB type and her new one by Romeo has convinced the permit holder who lives across the road from her that she has been 'done'!
I look back and remember Christina Stuckleberg (???) with Granat and the difference is immense. Do the 'heavier' warmbloods still exist at higher levels competition wise in dressage or have they been replaced by the lighter types?
