Is riding western easier than riding english?
Some might say western is harder, some might say english is harder. English is more poised and fast and western is more relaxed and slow (if you are not doing speed events such as barrel racing). I personnaly think english is harder because you have to worry about your posture, your horses way of moving, and if you are jumping where is stride will be. So really it is a personal choice. Best wishes! PS: To the post ahead of me, that is stero type!!! Not all people who ride English are snobby. For your information I know a lot of snobby western people. Well I guess since I ride both I am a snobby western aren’t I? Sorry, to everyone else, that made me mad.
