English and Western Saddles
British and Western saddlesFather, a total beginner, was sitting in my English for about two minute before he begged to be released, but at the beginning of this year he walked up and down a Colorado slope happy, safe in a western nut!
English horseback riders must teach the trotting position, a jumping walk in which the horseman jumps from one set of oblique leg pairs to the other set of oblique leg pairs with a spring in between. Western riders use a slow walk or jogging, which does not displace the horseman.
Furthermore, the broader fit and the increased coat and knob of the western semitrailer also give the rookie much more strength. The English equestrian sport, even for beginners, includes the co-ordination of several elements such as leg, rein and equilibrium to keep your horses in full command. It can be tricky until it becomes a matter of course for the driver.
On the other hand, someone who has learnt to mount in the western seat must basically learnt to mount again from the front if he decides to take part in one of the English horse races.
