Vote English 72% 132 votes vs. Vote Western 28% 52 votes New Poll!  comment by Chinovally 4 mayor 158 days ago     English. Most definatly!  comment by Vampire Stables 158 days ago     I think that it would depend if you had a horse or not too. Aren't Western saddles generally more expensive than English ones?  comment by Foxtail Springs  online 158 days ago     New POLL!!!  comment by SweetWaterStablesArion 158 days ago     New Poll!!! NOW!!  comment by Sweet Water Stables 158 days ago     It honestly depends on what you pursue in each seat. For example, with western you could do roping, reining, barrel racing, other rodeo events, and western pleasure. With western pleasure the outfits you must wear get updated frequently so you'll spend more on outfits versus english hunters, jumpers, dressage, 3 day eventing where the show attire remains mostly the same. So it just depends on what you decide to pursue. I have shown in almost all seats, yes including saddleseat and just depends.  comment by astrid 158 days ago     I would have to say they are both about even in the long run. I am not quite understanding why people put boarding is more expensive for an english horse. At the barn we ride at, there are both english western horses and they all get treated the same way. All get groomed alike, fed the same hay drink the same water. So, my vote is a tie. :D  comment by Emerald Eagle Farms 158 days ago     I did! If it was NOT RELATED to the topic...I removed it. I will be keeping an eye on it from here on out. So if it is not related to English or Western riding...dont post here,because, it will be removed.  comment by Sweetbriar Estate 158 days ago     Who took everything off?  comment by Sweet Water Stables 158 days ago     English!  comment by II CasperzII 161 days ago     ITHINK WESTERN IT IS ALOT OF MONEY FOR TACK SPRUS CLORTHES AND THE HORES  comment by marigold 164 days ago     Western. All of you English people are pretty much saying Western is for low class trail ponies. It's not. If you show in the circles I do, Like Western Pleasure, Your looking at 4.000$+ saddles, show shirts that sell for 3.000$, Then Chaps, (depending on how nice you get them) You're looking at 500$, Hats, 200$, and boots. 100$-2.000$. If your showing Showmanship, your halters are going for 350$+, Barrel Racing you're looking at 2k and 3k saddles, probably a 7k entire tack set, then you have to buy leg wraps, (About 120$) It really depends what type you show. I think they are both pretty equal, but I can agree with everyone on one thing, if you wanna go to the top, you have to lay down cash.  comment by Nine In The Afternoon Int 170 days ago     definetly engish  comment by Lady Elizabeth Stables 171 days ago     id say english just a tad more cause the saddles im used to seeing in the shop are 800$ up to 2000$. but then again western can get up to 3000$ in my area. bridles are the same price all around. so id probaly still say english cause it is more money for the agisting, boarding and the new tack once it gets worn. so english it is.  comment by Horsie Ranch 178 days ago     Western... Show saddles cost $5000+ some are less but they aren't as Nice....Show Brides and everything is $100's Endernece saddles for the 100+ milers want to get the $1000+..... So yea I have to say western.. +) But I ride with just A Bridle and my helmet so it only cost me $100 not counting the saddle i do own.  comment by Dyre Goddess Ranch 180 days ago     it is SO english.....there are so many outfits u have 2 buy and the training can be very expensive...also the saddles and briddles can cost a lot...  comment by Charlie the Unicorn Ranch 180 days ago     I LOVE ENGLISH RIDING! THE SADDLE LOOKS AWSOME ON A GOOD HORSE! AND IF U PEOPLE PUT A WESTERN SADDLE ON A PRETTY HORSE IT WONT LOOK AS GOOD AS IT WOULD WITH AN ENGLISH ONE! and they look more decent, nice sturups, and its tottaly better!LOL  comment by PONIEZ IS FLOATING AROUND 180 days ago     well i don't really know but i just guessed english because it seems more fancy and stuff like that...  comment by Silkys Choclate 181 days ago     English - there are so many different types of tack! Saddles mostly - general/all purpose, dressage, jumping, endurance, showing, polo, the list goes on! And that's just saddles - there are three types of bridle single, double and bitless. But there are also bits, rugs, boots etc that you don't use in western and the competition clothing is very expensive!  comment by BadConformationRULES 183 days ago     I voted for English because:I think it's a lot more comfurable,I think the horses like it better because they don't have to lug it around,and you have better control over a horse in English!  comment by Halo Equestrian 183 days ago     I voted for English. I agree it is the most expensive, but western is the most comfortable.  comment by Chinovally 4 mayor 183 days ago     English! Of course English will win because it is way more expensive!!!! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!  comment by SweetWaterStablesArion 183 days ago     I like both, but it depends where I am riding in what I use  comment by RK Stables 184 days ago     English is way more expensive than western!  comment by Horses Paridise Island 185 days ago       1  2  3  4     You must be logged in to leave commentsYour account must be validated to post comments.
