∙ 13y agoThey were both invented for different reasons.
English uses a saddle designed for the rider ot be able to jump and clear fences. It is less comfortable. When you ride english, you tend to have shorter stirrups. The reins are held in both hands with your pinkies on the outside. English disciplines include hunters, jumpers, equitation, and many more. It's just designed to be more showy.The gaits are wlak,trot,canter and gallop.
Westenr uses a large,r more heavy sadle with a horn. It is based on the style of cowboys and other things done on a ranch. You have long stirrups and hold/steer with the reins using one hand. It is more focused on speed and skills of the horse, not really how you look. There is no jumping. Western disciplines include pole bending,barrel raicing,reining and many others. It's gaits are walk,jog (trot), lope (canter), and gallop.

Why do Americans call it 'Horseback Riding'?
In American English, that is called "bareback riding," so perhaps "horseback riding" implies the difference between riding with or without a saddle. The first horse races I went to, at a county fair back in the 50s, did not have the jockeys sitting on the horses' backs, but rather in sulkies drawn behind the horses.
