If you're not a horse person, western riding is the type of saddle where there is a horn to hold onto.
I've got to disagree somewhat with the above answer. In classes like Western Pleasure, the ideal is for the horse to go at SLOWER gaits, hence the term 'jog' and lope.' Now, you're correct if you're referring to barrel racing or other speed events, where the horse is supposed to have more speed.
Also, with the holding on to the horn part, whether you're a horse person or not, you shouldn't hold onto the horn for security. The horn is used for those working with cattle and for those in speed events, when the horn is used to push the rider deeper into the saddle to get weight off the horse's front during turns.
Basically, Western style refers to using a Western saddle, neck reining (one hand on the reins) longer stirrups, and more contact with legs and body pressure than on the reins.
Riding Western style on a horse involves using a specific type of saddle and tack designed for this style of riding. It typically involves a deeper, more secure seat, longer stirrups, and one-handed reins. Western riding is often associated with cattle work and trail riding.

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.
