What is the difference between a hunt saddle and a dressage saddle?

∙ 14y ago
There's no such thing as a show saddle, unless you mean a saddle you use exclusively for shows.
A dressage saddle has a very deep seat to help the rider sit and a long, straight saddle flap to accommodate the longer leg position. The girth straps are also quite long so that the short dressage girth does not hinder the leg laying flat.
Typically the saddles used in hunter/jumper shows are of medium depth with a more forward cut flap.

∙ 14y agoDressage saddles normally have higher cantles. They also have more defined knee rolls and longer saddle flaps; in dressage your stirrups are much longer than in hunt seat, so the saddle flap and knee roll must be longer for that. They are always black, where hunt saddles can be different colors (ie. brown).

For a western saddle most pads will be about the same size unless it's for a pony saddle, which will be much smaller. English saddle pads can vary significantly. Since there are different types of English saddles the pads will correspond with their individual shapes.

Whatever the size or shape, make sure that the pad is thick enough that it protects your horse's back and that it fits right so it won't slip or rub.

What type of tack is used for a Lipizzan horse?
Depending on the lineage of the particular Lipizzan, body styles can vary and affect which endeavor they will excell in. The majority of Lipizzans have a large barrel (chest) and rounded withers which makes them a little harder to fit for tack than the average horse. It is important for any breed of horse to ensure that the tack properly fits. In general, Lipizzans take a medium wide to extra wide tree saddle (the width of the saddle over the withers) but not too wide so that the saddle will slip. Due to the flexibility of Lipizzans, they can be used for any activity such as dressage, English and western equitation, 3 day eventing, pony club, trail riding, or driving and so on. So, when you ask what type of tack Lipizzans use, the answer is- depends on what you are doing with them.
