• Besides the classically trained Lipizzaners, there are other types, as well. Some Lipizzaners are bred mainly as workhorses. These horses are ideally suited for agricultural work because they are heavier and smaller than the school horses. A bigger, free-moving Lipizzaner, perfect for pulling carriages, is bred in Hungary. The Lipizzaner is also appreciated as an outstanding recreational riding horse. The powerful haunches, strong backs, intelligence, and grace of all the Lipizzaners have made this a popular horse the world over.
• The days of the Lipizzaner as the parade horse of the royal courts were over long ago. Today, these horses are ideal for leisure riding. Good-natured and intelligent, they are a versatile recreational and sport horse. They are particularly successful in driving competitions. In Hungary, Lipizzaners are crossed with trotter to improve their chances of winning international horse races.
