Is English or western saddles harder to ride in?
As a long time rider of both disciplines, I would have to say that English saddles are harder to ride in.

Western saddles seem to have a much deeper seat; they also have a more laid back style of riding, where there is less requirement of the rider to focus on how one sits in the saddle. There is also something to hold onto; the horn, which is not present on an English saddle.
