English Western Horse
Difference between English and western horse riding?
I'd just like to know the differences between english and western horse riding. Oh, and if it isn't too much to ask, what are some really good tips. I know the basics.
There are many differences between English and Western riding. One of the differences between the two is the tack. All the tack is different. The saddles are very different; one of the examples is that a Western saddle has a horn. The bridles are different, the girths are different and are called cinches. There are also more differences.
Another difference is the style of riding itself. Western riders ride with their stirrups longer than English riders. They have a more "relaxed" posture. Their reins are looser and they hold the reins with their left hand.
The disciplines are different. Western riders do not do any jumping. Disciplines offered in Western are barrel racing, calf-roping, reining, etc. English disciplines include show jumping, dressage, eventing, etc. There are no Western disciplines offered in the Olympics.
There are even more obvious and subtle differences. Email me if you have any other questions. Hope this helps! : )
