English Or Western?
What is the difference between English and Western riding?
Is one easier than the other?
Here are your answers
English and Western riding are different but similar, the most obvious difference is the tack.
The Western saddle is larger and heavier than the English saddle. It's designed to spread the weight of the rider over a larger area of the horse's back, making it more comfortable for long days out chasing cows. The English saddle is smaller and lighter and is designed to give the rider a closer contact with the horse's back.
English and Western saddles come in different designs and styles for certain sports and disciplines.
