i ride english style riding and i compete and love horses but i have alway been confused about wetern riding.so how do you get your horse to move and can you jump in a western saddle?
The main difference between the two diciplines it the tack. The western saddle is roomier and has a horn. The bridles are similar but western bits often have long shanks as opposed to the snaffle bit primarily used in English or Hunt Seat riding. This shanked bit is sometimes curbed or ported and it attactched to long split reins.
Another difference is that western riding is the use of one hand to steer the horse instead of two. Because of the use of one hand the western horse is commonly steered by neck reining. For instance, if you want to turn your horse to the left, you would put your right rein on his neck as well as use your legs and seat to steer him this direction.
You are able to get the western horse to move pretty much the same way you get an english horse to move. Nudging their sides, squeezing with your calves, and/or vocal encouragement.
You can jump small jumps in a western saddle. There is a dicipline called Western riding where the rider take the horse through a series of manuevers and jumps a jump that is supposed to resemble a log that you would encounter on the trail or on the ranch. However, most western people don't jump with their western saddles. The horn impedes this.
