Reccomendations and Questions on Dressage Foals

Casually looking at purchasing a foal to be trained and started. I wanted to get some advice and opinions.

I’m looking for something that is going to be a top quality horse potentially for a future international ring if all goes well.

What in your experience are the best breeders to buy from in the US? I haven’t dealt with purchasing foals, I have ideas of where to start but wanted to know if there are any I should gravitate towards that people have had good experiences with. Going along with that are there any bloodlines you have found to really like within these breeding programs. Any other thoughts greatly appreciated!

In no particular order, Nancy Holowesko, Kendra Hansis, Dan and Gina Ruediger, Jan and Gary Marquardt, Hilltop Farm.

For amateur friendly horses with spectacular movement, I highly recommend Secret. According to our local colt starter, they’re just born broke. Lovely lovely lovely.
