I’ve been riding all my life and have always ridden the western style with a western saddle. Just last week I got the opportunity to try out an English saddle. Boy what an experience. It was so different from what I’m used to. Your body postion is totally different with a much more forward angle. For a short ride it was fun, but I can’t imagine riding the long miles of a working cowboy in an english saddle. It’s a lot harder on your body, and a lot harder to accomplish a task from the saddle. It was fun to try it out, but I think I’ll stick to my western saddle.
