I ride 2 for a friend and just started groundwork with a 3rd. They're all lovely. This is a picture of the big mare last summer.
 
I had a wb x welsh D mare bred by Brendon stud in Sussex, she was lovely but very sharp and quirky and far too talented for me! After l sold her she went on to do BE and BD, she was called Zarlequeen you can google her record.
 
My friend has one - a quirky, sharp, diva well capable of throwing her toys out. Hugely talented for dressage but essentially the most challenging bits of Welsh Ds and WBs put together. Only really a professional's horse - and 16.2/3 at 7 and still growing.
 
I have one. Bought her from the stud who had the stallion. They had a cob mare who could jump they put to the wb. Had my mare 18 years now and love her. She is brilliant all rounder though would never be any good for a novice as very strong and a bit opiniated!
 
Have a look at Woodlander Wales. Sec C x WB rather than D but oh my god! I'm planning on putting my mare to a good WB stallion in a few years if she proves herself useful.
 
I have a welsh d x tb x arab that I bred myself. Due to health issues she hasn't done much and was retired by the age of 7 or 8 but she will jump anything and is very beautiful. Lovely cross. She is now rising 22. I know a few welsh x arabs and they very good dressage horses but are a little small perhaps for you.
 
I had one,
He was utterly beautiful, lovely to handle on the floor and extremely talented, but he was also the sharpest, quirkiest most difficult horse ever to break and quite frankly at times he was dangerous ride. I had 3 proffessionals send him back as he was too difficult to break.

I loved him to bits and did eventualy get there with a specialist breaker who deals only in horses with SERIOUS problems, even she said he was the most difficult she had come accross.

It took very careful, tactful riding to keep him from going out from underyou or exploding. He bolted blind and went through fences or into walls, he broke bones when he drilled people into the floor and i would never ever have let anyone else ride him, your leg sliding back half an inch could cause an explosion.

I did eventualy get him in the show ring and he did very well and he did very well at dressage on the 2 times he did dressage tests (70%+) but my OH's nerves were in shreds every time.

Very deffinatly a proffessionals horse but at only 15hh not likely to be taken on by a proffessional.
He passed away from a heart attack aged 7.
 
My boy Jack is a section D x Warmblood, I've had him about a year now. I said I would never have anything Welsh or Warmblood and look at what I've ended up with :D

As a note, temperament wise - Jack is fantastic, a very loving horse to be around, never puts a foot wrong on the ground.

To ride, most of the time he is an angel however can be quirky. I suppose he has taken some of the quirkier traits from the welsh and warmblood. But when he is with you, he is an amazing ride and so rewarding. Never nasty with his quirks but does push his luck at times!

But then who wants a boring horse, eh?!
 
Someone else I know has a Welsh B x WB as a small dressage horse. Again not a cross I'd recommend risking as he's a talented but opportunist little beggar who throws his toys out mid test given half a chance. Very intelligent, opportunistic pony brain (whether sec B or D) + WB quirky/sharpness will very often = challenging ride.
