Don't consider a "tack up". Western and English are two completely different things.In Western, you use a western saddle (the saddle with the horn on it) and usually two girths, and a Western bridle (witch doesn't include a brow band or a noseband). In western you barrel race, cattle sort, pole bend, and more. In English you use, an English saddle ,(there are three different types: all purpose, jumping, and dressage), and one girth, an English bridle (includes a noseband and a brow band), and sometimes a martingale. In English you can do hunter/jumper (you do flat work and jumping), Dressage (a series of "dance moves" for horses), or Eventing (a three-day event were you do dressage, stadium jumping, and cross-country). Both styles of riding may require boots for your horse, witch are a lot like shin guards for horses. Have fun!

What is better to ride horses with an English saddle or a western saddle?

The best way to ride a horse is to evaluate what that particular horse is built and bred for. The ability of the rider is also important. A bad rider can injure a horse more than what seat a rider uses. Also, considering what sport you are in may help you to determine which saddle you prefer to use. Obviously if you are a jumper you would be better in an English saddle, and if you are a barrel racer, you would most likely use a western saddle.


Why do they call horse tack horse tack?

probably because people thought it was an easier word to say. I'm not quite shure where the name "tack" came from but here are some senarios that it's better to use up it. "he tacks up nice" instead of "he is very good when you're putting on the saddle and bridle" "aah, i need to get Toby some new tack, his old stuff isn't doing very well" instead of "aah, i need to get Toby a new saddle and bridle, his old stuff isn't doing very well" it also sounds better, too.
