I’d second the recommendation for Rhinos fitting Morgans. Amigos will work for a lighter build too,like the OPs mare.

Interestingly, my morgan fits in amigos and rambos but not the rhinos… And he is not a narrow horse. He has huge shoulders and a large neck

That’s been my experience too. The Amigo and Rambo fit, but the Rhino is too short and/or tight.

1000% this. Plus, even if an amateur rider does want to get there they may still be in a better place if they start their dressage training on a less powerful, less large, less sensitive horse and work their way up. Most of us need more confidence, not less, and a good brain and movement that you can sit is a good place to start. Then if you get to a point where your mount can’t take you further and you and your coach agree that’s the next step it will be very likely you can find a home for your sane, well trained horse.
