Height: the preferred height of adult horses is 53-59 cm at the withers.
Color: Most are grey, but some are black or bay. Chestnut is only allowed where proof can be given that their is a near real Lipizzaner on both sides of the pedigree that was unmistakably chestnut. Other colours are only allowed where there is proof it came from a real Lipizzaner.
Lipizzaners have sturdy, rectangular and compact bodies, brilliant action, proud carriage, powerful, crested necks, broad backs and loins, well-rounded quarters, muscular shoulders, and short, strong legs with well-defined tendons and joints. They have straight or convex profiles, big prominent, expressive eyes set wide apart, small well-spaced and alert ears, small muzzles and prominent jaws.
The pictures below are to give a basic idea of breed type, for those who are unsure.
