The main strap on an English style saddle is called the girth. This is what keeps the saddle on the horse. But there are other types of straps also. There is what is called a 'breastcollar', which keeps the saddle from sliding back too far on the back. There is a 'crupper' which works the other way and keeps the saddle from moving too far forward. There are different kinds of martingales, standing or running, which are usually for training purposes but should only be used if you know what you are doing. This combines the breastcollar with the horse's bridle or bit. These are the most common types of straps but certainly not all available to equine enthusiests.
How many billets are there?
The main difference is that a Western saddle has a horn, while an English saddle does not.
There is no equivalent to a saddle horn on an English saddle. The English saddle has no horn to any equivalent. The Western saddle was made for the cowboys, who needed something to help anchor the rope to after roping a cow. This is where the Western saddle was invented, designed for comfort for long days of hard riding in the saddle, and for usefulness, which is why it has all the little straps to tie things to, perfect room for saddle bags and such, and with the saddle horn having the direct purpose of dallying the rope. The English saddle was not used by cowboys, and therefore, there was no use for a saddle horn, so there is nothing there.
