Alright so I've been thinking about starting to ride horses! I just can't decide what kind of riding I want to do. Sooo...I was hoping you guys could help me out! Thanks guys!
I do Eastern riding. no, wait- English! Yeah it's English x-facepalm-x
ANYWAY, I think English is more common, but that could be because I live in the Eastern part of the US. In the west, there's Western, so I was confused with Western/Eastern or whatever. (I don't know where you live so I don't know what's most common there.) English is not like the stereotypical "cowboy," English is jumping, eventing, etc. "Cowboy" would be Western. If you go to you tube and type in the search thingy "Dressage Olympic clip" something should come up that in the Olympics is called Dressage, but it's basically English riding. I don't know much about Western style, but you can look into that as well. I've been riding for three-ish years, and I hope you start soon! Both styles I mentioned are fun, but as I already said I don't know much about Western. I really like Eastern though.
That was probably an info overload, but there's my two cents (although in this case it could be ten cents lol).
Yeah I know all about riding I just can't decide what to do! I've been into horses since 2nd grade and I'm in 7th now so I just can't decide! It is a real struggle...I want to either do western pleasure or jumping or dressage.
