Western Horseriding vs English Horseriding - the differences between the 2 styles of horseriding.

[♥ Lily ♥]

This is English showjumping... a top-class event. The horses must look immaculate.


This is Royal Ascot, a grand event of horse-racing and betting on horses with a lot of money to be won,
featuring horses from all around the world taking part at the Royal Ascot event in England.
It's viewed by over 300,000 people who attend the 5-day racing event in England.
The racing is of the highest possible quality.
The event is watched in over 80 nations worldwide.


The Royal Ascot event in England features Ladies Hat Day, where people wear the most creative and unique hats in a grand display of fashion. (It's even more fashionable than the Wimbledon tennis events in London, England).
Here's an example of some of the beautiful hats worn to the event.
Gentlemen also dress-up too for the Royal Ascot event, usually in traditional English clothes and top-hats.


This is the 'Grand National' - another big horse racing event in the UK.



Western vs English riding explained. Western horse-riding is more influenced by rodeo-riders and cowboy-style riding.
The Spanish introduced the cowboy tradition to the US.

I think we introduced horses saddles ect. to the Americas along with the spanish, as horses were not native to the Americas....

I love horses, I was wondering if they use different saddles for women, as we do here, side saddle so both legs are on the same side?????????????????????...

[Heart of Oak]

In all honesty, nope, that's never been a type of music I like and the first 10 seconds was enough but I was just being humourous when you said to eat Special K breakfast cereal whilst listening to that type of trippy-acid headache 'music.'

I prefer to listen to something quieter first thing in the morning whilst eating breakfast.

Incase people outside the UK are thinking Special K sounds like we're discussing a drug, it's a cereal.

Nice thread I trained horseback riding for years and dreamed about competing at Grand National when I grow up, but dad told me jockeys died there so it is better just to watch the race annualy. Eh, childhood dreams

Thanks, well the thread seems to have slipped onto acid music and Special K breakfast cereal.
It's true, horse-riding is a lovely hobby, but there's been some nasty accidents in horse-racing sadly.

I'm not sure how things are done in the US. Good question tho.
