whats the difference, western and english?
ok, now im looking mostly for whats the difference between western and english riding breeches/chaps. and i have ridden english all my life, and im at expert level, but i want to ride western because of the area im going to be in, like the mountains, at least where my horse will be. so whats the difference between the chaps, and saddle. thanks!!!
The Western saddle is made to distribute weight more evenly over the horse’s back so horse and rider can counterbalance the weight of a roped cow. The seat is comfortable for long hours over rough terrain, like the mountains as you state.
Practical Western attire consists of a long-sleeved work shirt, denim jeans, boots, and a wide-brimmed cowboy hat. Usually a rider wears protective leather leggings “chaps” this helps the rider stick to the saddle and to protect legs when riding through brush..etc… !
Clean, well-fitting work clothing is the usual outfit seen in rodeo, cutting and reining competitions, especially for men, though sometimes in brighter colors or finer fabrics.
It is common to see people heavily emphasizing the differences between English and Western riding. In fact, these two riding disciplines are very similar. A rider who has trained in the English style can usually pick up Western riding very quickly, and vice versa. Both rely fundamentally on establishing clear communication between rider and horse, and working together as a team to accomplish goals.
