That would very much depend on what you are trying to do.
Western has shows and sports that you would have issues doing in an English saddle. I would hate to try jumping on a regular basis on a Western
I prefer Austrailian saddles when trail riding.
If you are a typical young girl, go English. The bulk of girls seem to end up hunter jumpers near us. Boys tend to enjoy reining and penning, so I would suggest Western. There is no set rules here, just that is what seems to be the norms.
Remember, Australian saddles for trail riding though! (my opinion) Once you try one on a trail, you will be hooked and never use the others again.
neither. they are born wild. they are trained English or western or both. Some breeds are more suited to western riding (Quarter Horses, Appaloosas) and some are usually English horses (Thoroughbreds, Morgans, Warmbloods), but any horse can be trained to do either.
Definetly!!! English and Western riding is all over the world. Horses are very important all around the globe!
Hacking when referred to horses is is a term for light riding or alternatively, English riding as opposed to trail riding or Western riding. The best bet is to look for the local equestrian club.
English styles of riding predate western riding. As a result, English riding is practiced all over the world, but western riding is almost exclusive to the US and N. America.
Yep! they are known for western riding and racing. they are the fastest horses under a quarter of a mile.
Of course! Any type of horse can be domesticated. Paint horses are very often seen in the wild, but domesticated Paints are amazing Western riding horses, and are good in English riding too. Paint horses are actually VERY common pets.
There is western riding (gaming, western pleasure) and English riding (dressage, jumpers, hunter jumper, Polo, and English pleasure).
Any horses can be used. Once they're born you can train them to ride English or Western. Some examples are quarter horses and morgans. Any horse can be English but some or mostly Western and some are mostly English
There are 2 styles of riding. English riding, and western riding. Both styles have different techniques, signals, and tack (saddles, bridles, etc.) And there are certain competitive sports you can do depending on which style you ride.
Only one, Quarter Horses are their own breed in which it only has one kind. There is a variety of different colours of them though.
You can if you are riding English, you can't if you are riding western.
