Here’s a look at the two riding styles: English-Style RidingThough practiced in competition and for pleasure all over the world today, English-style horseback riding originates with the traditions of the European military cavalry. Textbook english equestrians sit tall and straight, directly keeping firm control of the horse with the reins. English riders also post the trot, rising from the saddle slightly to avoid the gait’s often uncomfortable bounces.Western-Style RidingTaking the reins in one hand and maintaining light tension on the horse’s mouth, riders sit tall and straight and give direction to the horse by shifting their weight in the seat. Horses earn high marks by responding willingly to these subtle cues and by demonstrating a smooth, easy athleticism through the gaits of walking, jogging, and loping. Unlike English riding, for which riders “post,” or rise and sit in rhythm with each stride, the Western style and its large, comfortable saddles allow riders to sit through the entire jog.
