Western horseback riding is a specific discipline within equestrian sports. The style is characterized by a large, wide saddle with a moderately prominent cantle and a horn; the stirrups are set lower as compared to English riding styles. The horse's gait should be slow and smooth - there is no posting at the trot in Western riding, and the canter is slower and called a lope.
