Horses most commonly used in dressage competitions are light breeds, such as the Thoroughbred or any of the variety of warmbloods (Hanoverian, Irish Sport Horse, Oldenburg, etc.) More heavy-set horses are used less frequently for dressage. It is rare to see a draft horse (Clydesdale, Percheron, Shire, etc) competing in dressage, although every horse can learn the basics behind dressage.
