English pleasure is a generic term for what is more commonly referred to as Saddle Seat riding.
There is western riding (gaming, western pleasure) and English riding (dressage, jumpers, hunter jumper, Polo, and English pleasure).
There are several variations of English Pleasure. It can be the hunt seat version which is like Western pleasure, but the horse is on a bit more rein contact, though still in a long low frame. or it can be the saddleseat version for highly animated horses like Saddlebreds, which can also be called country pleasure when 'gaited' or saddleseat horses are used.

Hunt seat pleasure is a style of horseback riding that emphasizes a relaxed and harmonious partnership between horse and rider, typically performed in English riding disciplines. In this event, riders are judged on the horse's movement, manners, and overall presentation, as well as the rider's position and effectiveness. The goal is to showcase a smooth, enjoyable ride that reflects the horse's natural gait and willingness to perform. It's commonly seen in horse shows and competitions, particularly in pleasure classes.
