For a horse to excel at dressage he must have good conformation. His shoulder and pasterns should match with a 45 degree angle. So a horse that has 'upright' shoulders and pasterns will be a bumpy, choppy ride. A weak topline would prevent the horse from flexing the way he would need to. A horse with a weak backend can't get his hocks under him, preventing the elevation of the front end that enables a dressage horse to execute a nice extended trot or flying lead changes. So I guess dressage should not be about height or specific breed but correct conformation and temperment.
