    I have a Arab x Saddlebred mare that I have bred to a Welsh Sec A x Arab stallion. The colt is 2 yrs. now and I think he will make a great dressage pony. He has low knee action, but lots of extension and suspension. Is this cross a good prospect for a dressage pony? I have been breeding pony hunters, but would like to breed some dressage ponies as well.
