    Horseback Riding Gear: English <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    English riding is one of the two main types of riding styles – the other being Western. Within it are a variety of disciplines, but what brings them all together is the lack of a saddle horn on the horse’s saddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is because an English rider needs mobility in the saddle for appropriate movement as the horse jumps (in Hunter\/Jumper and Eventing), to bend down (in Polo), and generally to move around in response to the horse’s movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can think of the English saddle as a “minimalist” version of the saddle, designed to give the rider a place to sit and stirrups for his or her feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
