A new Equiflex saddle (arguably the best saddle make) costs between £1800 - £2600. You can get one second-hand for about £600.
Well here in the USA the price of a true leather western saddle will vary according to several factors including, leather quality, tooling, the brand or maker, the color, whether it has silver on it, the quality of the silver and several other factors. For a gently used saddle you would pay about three fourths to half of it's original value, otherwise a new saddle can range from $500 upwards of $3,000. A synthetic saddle usually tops out at $800.

What is a western halter?
I have never heard of a western halter, and I ride western, so I guess you mean bridle. First of all, the dif in a halter and a bridle is a bridle is usually used to ride and a halter is generally used for groundwork and leading it from place to place. Although, you can use a bridle for leading and such, and I often ride in a halter. A western bridle is just a bridle used to ride western. They generally don't have a nose band like English bridles, and sometime they will have split ear headstalls. The bit can be many dif things. Their are shank bits which should only be used with well-trained horses, and then they have snaffle bits, which are also used for English. English also use shanks, but they look dif and are normally used in dressage. Other western bridles are the bosal and the hackamore, which are bit-less bridles. the bosal is more like a halter. It has a large nose band and the reins attach right under the horses nose. and a hackamore is more like a normall bridle, as in it has the shank part of a shank bit, but has nothing that goes in the mouth. The reins attach on the end of the shanks on each side of the bridle and when pulled back the nose band pushes down on the horses nose more than a bosal would. Hope this wasnt too confusing :)

Is it weird to ride with a western saddle and an English bridle?
It is not weird at all! Some people do that because they find it easier to balance in a western saddle but is more comfortable with the English bridle. Yea it totally works and if you enjoy riding like that way there is no one that can stop you so RIDE ON!
What bridle is best for your horse?
It depends on your horse. If you ride an English horse, definitely an English style bridle. You might be wondering about the type of bit; most horses start with a regular or egg-butt snaffle. If you are looking for a certain brand, I would recommend Edgewood. They're expensive but last a very long time if taken care of. If you ride a Western horse, definitely a Western style bridle. I don't do a lot of Western, so I wouldn't know.
