Are western horses better trained than English horses because western horses don't need a tight rein?
No. Western and English horses are trained to do two different things. I've ridden both styles and the horses are just trained differently to a point. Most western riders use curb bits that add more pressure to a horses mouth if the reins are pulled on. To avoid hurting the mouth they ride with a loose rein and usually teach a horse to neck rein. English riders typically use some form of snaffle bit and prefer to keep their horses in a more collected frame. But many English riders also teach their horses to neck rein.
