my right ear is lonely

She looked extremely uncomfortable
on the western saddle, and a lot more relaxed on the
english saddle

This is a good introduction for a raw beginner. To explain all the differences would take hours and are usually learned over years.

that horse keeps it' head so low!

A lot of those things about western riding isn’t true

I know this is three years later, but if you're still making videos I would love to hear about the differences in riding cues for English vs Western. By the way, your horses are beautiful. 💖

Jog?Band?Reins Seperate?Riding with left hand?Thumb on top? Im a western riding and i dont call or do any of this

Me an eventer watching this like "Dont mind me"
Sees the forelock isnt where its supposed to be, cries in eventer

That first horse was so fricking cute!😍😭💛

Hm, I think everyone is taught a little differently because I learned western and nearly all the horses have a throat latch and usually our reins are connected. Also what was the “jog”? I learned trot and it’s the same thing as the English trot soo ..?

A nice video. My father had a devout hatred of an English saddle. I was taught to thread the reins between the fingers of the right hand. Left between the index and middle fingers, with the right rein between the ring finger, and the little finger, with the remaining length trailing out the “bottom” of the hand/fist.

Your horse is gorgeous

Thank you so much for this video! I can tell you worked hard and I learned ALOT. My niece is 6 and just joined 4H to show and I wanted to be more educated. Thank you! ❤️

Your horse looks exactly like a horse at my barn lol

ive never seen anybody ride western that way my whole life this is completely wrong in my eyes whenever we trot or cantor we don't just sit in the saddle we do 2 point and we move with the horses body movement idk where you got this from

FYI, the Kimberwick bit isn't a snaffle bit because it works off of leverage.

There is another way to hold the reins while riding western. You can cross the reins.

Very helpful, thank you!

In 40 years have rode western and have always used a throat latch

I can see elements of both English and Western in traditional and more contemporary Persian riding style, interestingly not the same..
