Western VS. English

I DO NOT OWN THE MUSIC OR THE PICTURES!!!! I JUST MADE THIS VIDEO WITH THE MUSIC AND PICTURES FROM THE INTERNET! ...hear so many defensive people take sides between western and english riding. Well I just want to state my own opinion on the matter. Both are passionate about horses and both share the same hobby; riding. So take away all the tack, the bridles, saddles, bits, then you have horse and owner on both sides!

@LMMstarfish47

i live in arkansas so there isn't much english (i ride english) you can do the games but the riding style is completely different

[anime4inoccents]

ummm I ride english and I have never seen a horse break their ankles jumping or messing their necks up unless the rider was terrible and injured them...not saying they can't mess their legs up jumping but that's why most of the time they ware leg wraps/boots to protect them, its like saying i prefer english cuz my friend rode western and racing barrels destroys their legs crippling them and the bits are so harsh it causes extreme injuries...really maybe you should do your research first

[TrueCountryChick]

i personly prefer western..because(english) jumping breaks your horses ankles and their neck being that tight can make their neck stay like that forever......i know this because my friend used to ride english and this happened to her horse

[LMMstarfish47]

Do English saddles have spurs?And can you ride Western on an English saddle?

[123cocoagirl]

Okay i think it is just so stupid how people think it matters what saddle they have. I love both but i love western the most because my aunt told me how to ride western please don't get made at me for the saddle i have but if one of you hoe do english would like to try western i say try it is alot of fun

western for me only cuz thats how i started out

[horselover272727]

i love western ! I do barrel racing

[HorseListener13]

I prefer western (as does my horse), but I love both styles. Riding is riding, and each discipline has its own ups and downs. Besides, it's better to be well acquitted with both for horse and rider, in my opinion. Broadens horizons and opens minds.

@SilverSky333 well yeah i dont jump my horse 3 feet in my western saddle but i do when im in my english saddle, when im western we just have fun with logs and stuff but i do jump him competitions english up to 4 feet.

[SilverSky333]

@PocosDocBarFury You can't do serious jumping in western though, you go too high or do too much and it's bad for the horse.
