Are Hanoverians Good Dressage Horses?

I am in love with Hanoverians (I am a a Show Jumper) but I was wondering if they can do Dressage to! Not compete but just learn nice Dressage movements and tricks!

    Yes. Hanoverians are actually the number 1 breed for dressage according to the World Federation for Sport Horse Breeding.

    They’re some of the best dressage horses. They can easily be competitive at the upper levels.

    yes. Hanovarians are good jumpers and dressage horses, so you can learn dressage in lessons and take it to a hanovarian and see what you think.

    they most definitley can do dressage however the horse’s potential for success in dressage (and in any discipline for that matter) is based soley on their conformation. If they are not "put together" ‘correctly’ for whichever discipline you want to do, they will not ultimately succeed. There are horses that are great in the upper level jumper ring but will throw dressage babies – this is just how their foals are "put together".
