It could be said that dressage is better than western riding because dressage emphasizes balance and communication of horse and rider. It is in fact very similar to the western sport of reining, which requires the horse and rider to ride a pattern before a judge in the same way dressage does. The movements required for reining are slightly different from those of dressage, but the idea behind the two sports is the same.
The Friesian breed is known for excelling in dressage, and dressage is under the category of Classical Riding. So, they're better at Classical.
no!! western/stock saddles are so much easier than dressage saddles. as soon as u r in a westerns saddle, you will never go back to dressage. and theyre practically impossible to fall out of. but it is possible lol definetly not! western saddles are so much more comfortable than a dressage saddle. it is harder to fall out of, but when you do, falling forward and to the side really hurts your inner thigh, sometimes not able to get back on. ;)
There are no "dressage horses" but some breeds are used for dressage more than others,, e.g. you would probably use a warmblood rather than a cob. But basically, a dressage horse is a horse that does dressage :)
The jog is generally a western movement. The english equivalent would be the trot, which is more forward-going than the western jog. Dressage at the high levels requires several types of trot: collected, working, and extended. Arguably the passage is also a very slow, animated trot.

Western reining is similar to dressage in English disciplines, as both disciplines focus on precise and controlled movements performed by the horse. However, reining is characterized by specific maneuvers such as sliding stops and spins that are not typically seen in dressage.
There is western riding (gaming, western pleasure) and English riding (dressage, jumpers, hunter jumper, Polo, and English pleasure).

it depends on what you want to do. for hunting and for a great all rounder than i would say a Irish hunter. but a friesians have lovely paces and are great at dressage.
