English horseback riding is how the kings and queens ride. There is also another type of riding called Western riding. That's how cowboys ride. And the saddle is different. The saddle is the thing that you sit on when you ride. If it's an English saddle, there will be no horn on the front of it. The stirrups are also different. That's the things that you put your feet in.
Hope this helps! ☺ ;)
