If you're not a horse person, western riding is the type of saddle where there is a horn to hold onto.I've got to disagree somewhat with the above answer. In classes like Western Pleasure, the ideal is for the horse to go at SLOWER gaits, hence the term 'jog' and lope.' Now, you're correct if you're referring to barrel racing or other speed events, where the horse is supposed to have more speed.Also, with the holding on to the horn part, whether you're a horse person or not, you shouldn't hold onto the horn for security. The horn is used for those working with cattle and for those in speed events, when the horn is used to push the rider deeper into the saddle to get weight off the horse's front during turns.Basically, Western style refers to using a Western saddle, neck reining (one hand on the reins) longer stirrups, and more contact with legs and body pressure than on the reins.
