Equitation or Equine is horses/ the study of horses. Equitation flat is when a rider rides around the arena but doesn't go over any jumps. You are judged on your positioning in the saddle and you are judge on how well your horse moves off your leg and on your transitions.
a saddle horn is on a western/american saddle
It's called a cinch on a western saddle.
There are many differences. The western saddle is made for comfort, and meant to have a good deep seat for fast and sharp turns in barrel racing. An English saddle is more proper and is fit for ease with jumping.
There are many different kinds of saddles and many very good saddle manufacturers. Saddles are broken into 2 basic types of saddles. The western and English saddles. Most saddle makers usually make one or the other of these 2 kinds. Western saddle makers cater to different riding styles. Western pleasure, roping, cutting, equitation, trail, show, are a few. English riders also have many choices with hunt seat, all purpose, dressage, saddle seat, and close contact. From the outside looking in it seems confusing but before long you will have it narrowed down to what will work best for you and your horse.
The main difference is that a Western saddle has a horn, while an English saddle does not.
