I'm meant that I'm not a TB fan in the dressage ring because the Hanoverians, Holsteiners, and other warmbloods seem to have more overall suspension, length of stride, smoothness, and conformation as a breed than the TBs do. It is a lot harder to find a good TB for that discipline than it is to find a good warmblood. Overall, I'm a huge TB fan of course! They still rule the hunter ring, although the warmbloods seem to be taking over the jumper ring.
