Is English or western saddles harder to ride in?
As a long time rider of both disciplines, I would have to say that English saddles are harder to ride in. English saddles require more balance in the stirrups and more is expected of the rider when riding this discipline. Western saddles seem to have a much deeper seat; they also have a more laid back style of riding, where there is less requirement of the rider to focus on how one sits in the saddle. There is also something to hold onto; the horn, which is not present on an English saddle.
