Oh boy, I'm just gonna give the short answer here, since I can't be bothered to go find the long answer I've written for HHWA. The bottom line: this sucks.

First of all, to clarify a few things: buying the horse without having the t4 certificate leads to you getting the horse BUT being unable to breed more t4s. If you breed a t4 x friend's t4, the wheel is 100% t3s since you don't have the certificate. All horses are getting a new model and joining dressage, so yes, Constellations and Exclusives will become available through here too. Not sure about Spring yet, as I don't have it. I haven't seen people posting about using it in dressage, but I haven't seen upset posts from people complaining that they can't use it, so anything is possible.

So, on to my opinion then. This is the worst thing HHWA has done during the entire time I've been playing. The value of t4s, Exclusives and Constellations is pretty much gone now, as you can buy one for less than 2k diamonds. If you use diamonds to boost your chances, you can easily spend more than 2k just breeding a t4 from your own pair of t3s, so the cost is relatively cheap.

Why would anyone buy the Exclusive pack (with real money) anymore? Just wait for the first round to end, so people can breed the new Exclusive, and someone will take part with a brand new t3 Exclusive and that'll be up for the Dressage sale before the second season of Horse Racing is even over. For the same reason, why would anyone bother racing anymore to get to the top 50? Exclusives don't have any breeding restrictions once you have one, so once you buy the t3 from Dressage, you can breed down with someone's reward horse from the top 50 to get the lower tiers if you want.

Why would anyone buy the Constellations with real money anymore? The Constellation horse event (in which people had seven days to breed a horse on 9% chance!) was discontinued because people didn't buy enough Constellations. To breed one, you easily spent 2-3k diamonds. Now you can buy one for less than that, with no need to prepare in advance by getting the right common horses.

What about Anael, Belial and Crown (the yearly subscription horses)? They are sold as ENTIRELY EXCLUSIVE to the yearly sub. Having them available through the Dressage is going to piss off pretty much every yearly subscriber they have. Bye bye revenue, again. Also, if any of those became available, I would be demanding a refund on my current (and past too) subscription, as is my right when they change the content of what I'm paying for.

HHWA is shooting themselves in the foot with this. Well, actually not even the foot, on their face. I don't know how they could do something so stupid. They need people to buy their Exclusives, Constellations and the sub, yet they are making sure that there is absolutely no point in buying any of those.

So, about the t4s then. First of all, since you can't breed more, you're stuck with that ONE horse. If you accidentally sell it, too bad, to get a new one you have to pay 2k diamonds again from Dressage or wait for it to come back to Purebreeders. The horse doesn't show up in the t4 tab in horsepedia, so you have no way to see you even own it (apart from going through your stables).

The joy of getting a t4 certificate is the fact that that is the ONLY way to get a t4 horse. Now you can get one with just a small diamond payment. You can use more than that to get the jewels you need to unlock a certificate, let alone breeding a t4. The value of having a t4 just dropped massively.

Sure, it's nice to get the horses quickly and effortlessly in the moment. However, the value of owning those horses is gone when you have to do nothing more than breed a few mustangs to get them. Getting the very rare t4/Exclusive/Constellation is becoming about as exciting as getting a t2 mustang now.
