English riding

Riding in Style English and western style riding are similar in many ways but are also quite different. They both present a challenge for the rider and the horse. Each style of riding has multiple disciplines that have been derived from it. Each style has different variations among them so it is best to keep in mind that some things may vary based on the rider’s preference. English riding saddles are small, light weight, designed to keep the rider closer to the horse and allow more freedom for movement in sports like jumping. When riding in this particular style the rider has direct contact with the horse’s mouth because a rein should be placed in each hand. English riding could be considered harder because there is less support from the saddle than a western saddle. This means the rider needs to pay more attention to the posture and be sure to use their thigh muscles to keep themselves on the horse. Using leg commands is also more common in English riding. This style of riding is meant to look effortless, clean and sophisticated. Some examples of disciplines regarding English riding are jumping, dressage, and racing.…
