The working hunter saddle is a compromise between which two saddles?
It is a cross between a classic dressage saddle and a close contact jumping saddle - also known as a VSD or "all purpose" saddle. It is meant for flatwork and low jumps. These types of saddles in the USA have a bit of a more forward flap and higher cantle, while those made in England proper have a straighter flap and lower cantle. The English-made saddles are more true to the idea of the working hunter saddle and are generally of much better quality than those widely distributed in the USA. In addition, you will find these saddles referred to as "GP or AP" saddles in the USA, and as "working hunter" saddles in England.
What kind of saddles did saddlers make?
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.

What is equivalent to western saddle horn on English saddle?
There is no equivalent to a saddle horn on an English saddle. The English saddle has no horn to any equivalent. The Western saddle was made for the cowboys, who needed something to help anchor the rope to after roping a cow. This is where the Western saddle was invented, designed for comfort for long days of hard riding in the saddle, and for usefulness, which is why it has all the little straps to tie things to, perfect room for saddle bags and such, and with the saddle horn having the direct purpose of dallying the rope. The English saddle was not used by cowboys, and therefore, there was no use for a saddle horn, so there is nothing there.

Attached to the saddle, there is a metal ring called a stirrup either side. You sit on the saddle and put your feet in the stirrups to secure your position. you hold your elbows parallel to your feet and hold on to the reins with your hands. when sat in the saddle you should sit up tall, keep your legs bent and hold your hands low, with your thumbs on top.
