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.

∙ 13y agoThe tack would depend on what sport or riding style the rider is interested in. The Royal Lizzizaners from Austria are tacked up for dressage but there are many other diciplines Lippizans can excell at. I have seen them ridden in hunt seat and side-saddle too.
So if dressage is your thing, tack him up with dressage saddle and regulation bit. If you enjoy hunt seat, ride him in a close contact or all purpose saddle and a simple snaffle bit, ect.
