What are facts about English horse back riding?

Because of the way English saddles are made it makes for more contact between the horse and rider. The gaits of an English horse are different than the Western type. English riders trot not jog and canter instead of loping. The English rider will post at the trot or sometimes called the rising trot. The rider is up in the saddle with the horse's outside leg and shoulder. English riding is the safest way to jump fences and gives the horse and rider the freedom of movement needed to navigate a jumping course. When done correctly, English riding is beautiful to watch.

What is a Form of trotting or running at a slow or leisurely pace?

the gaits of a non gaited horse include 4 major, and all together 7, including English style gaits, and western style gaits. the major ones are walk, trot, canter, gallop. the picky ones are (from slowest to fastest) walk, jog[western], sitting trot[in between kinda bumpy, but not bad], posting trot, lope[western], canter[English or all round], and gallop. usuall in a western style like western pleasure u wouldn't gallop, but u would do a very slow (depending on the horse), very comfortable (again depending) jog. so i guess ur answer is called a jog. any non-gaited horse can do it.

What is the difference between English and western?

The main difference is the tack and to a certain extent the clothing of the rider. Western riders tend to sit a little deeper in the saddle and maintain a very loose drapey rein and rely mainly on their seat and legs to direct the horse. Western horses typically are asked to carry their heads lower and move in artificial show gaits of jog and lope. English Riders sit in a more forward balanced position with a soft contact on the reins where they can feel the horses mouth and encourage it. They also use their seat and legs to direct the horse through complicated maneuver's. English riders ask the horse to move in their natural gaits of trot and canter with collection and extension of all gaits.


What is a working trot?

a working trot is a trot between a collected trot and the extended trot. It should be energetic and have good forward motion, not 'pokey', but should not be 'fast'. Just a good active pace relative to your horses motion.
