if you look into the backgrounds of most of the GRP’s you will find a Welsh section B or Section C on the mare line and TB or warmblood sire lines…(as a humorous point such animals here are considered here in the States mutt half breds and not suited for anything 
)
this is a classic combo for such things and the British ponies are generally bred the same way...the mare gives the size and the stallion the scope...
the temperment must also come from the mare side as more is taught to the colt about human inteactions from her than by the sire....
there are very few breders here who breed the Welsh Part Breds specific for dressage as the market has always sucked for it (part of the bigger must always be better attitude of the American market)....and getting fancy papers from far away has it's appeal as well....however they can be found...and the offspring can be pretty nice...

My current pony was bred to be a driving pony. He’s out of a pure Welsh Crossroads mare and an OTTB stallion. He looks like a shrunken sport horse (only with a cuter face, of course!) and certainly moves like a miniaturized one. We do dressage and all sorts of jumping. I’ve yet to find anything he can’t do or won’t try yet!
So I agree to keep your eyes open for other pony breeds
