Are ponies any good at dressage?

Yes, ponies can be very good at dressage. In fact, ponies have won numerous dressage competitions at the highest levels. For example, the pony rider Isabell Werth has won multiple Olympic gold medals in dressage on ponies. Ponies are often preferred for dressage because they are smaller and more agile than horses, which can give them an advantage in performing the precise movements required in dressage. Additionally, ponies tend to have a calmer temperament than horses, which can make them easier to train and control in the dressage arena.
