My cousins horse has rode western all her life and the owner of the stables wants an English horse. She is planning on having me come down weekly to work with the horse and so far, the most difficult thing is turning, trotting and keeping her on the rail.

This was a very helpful article! My horse has, as far as i know, always been ridden western and I recently decided that I wanted to try english riding. My horse doesn’t seem to know the difference! But I’ve definitely got a lot to work on. Thanks for this great article! I love Horse Channel!

I’ve ridden both English and Western style horses, and while the english tend to respond better to a change of pace, the westerns make for an easier pleasure ride. …in MY opinion

My riding teacher has a quarter horse called Annie. When she came in she had been trained wetern pleasure for the first 7 years of her life. Now she competes in show jumping and soars over 4’9″ fences like there is nothing in front of her. She loves to jump but can still pick up a nice western jog and lope when you ask for it. Switching disciplines can be great for horses. My mare can do english and western and I love being able to chose between the two.
