neither. they are born wild. they are trained English or western or both.

Some breeds are more suited to western riding (Quarter Horses, Appaloosas) and some are usually English horses (Thoroughbreds, Morgans, Warmbloods), but any horse can be trained to do either.

Are western horses better trained than English horses because western horses don't need a tight rein?

No. Western and English horses are trained to do two different things. I've ridden both styles and the horses are just trained differently to a point. Most western riders use curb bits that add more pressure to a horses mouth if the reins are pulled on. To avoid hurting the mouth they ride with a loose rein and usually teach a horse to neck rein. English riders typically use some form of snaffle bit and prefer to keep their horses in a more collected frame. But many English riders also teach their horses to neck rein.
