I love riding English! I mostly only ride it, since I do english show jumping and also bareback riding and then trail with my english saddle as well.
I may start on the Yelm Equestrian Team next year with my mare, which is Western. She has ridden western all her life until I began leasing her and she is GREAT with english.
Here's some pictures!

I'll get some vids/more pictures of us jumping and her tacked under english next time i see her....
Magic & Emily - both your horses are just gorgeous!:biggrin2:
Yep, I ride my Haflinger- he is a handful right now. He is 12, and is fully trained but his previous owners did not ride him, he was just out in pasture with other Haffies, so he thinks he is a free man and can do whatever he likes whenver he likes - but he's coming along
Here's my mare, Sadie. She's a Thoroughbred but she's a laid back girl.
Hehe, yeah she does look really tall from far away. Thanks, her pattern is Snowflake. I just love it! She's so pretty in the spring/summer time after she sheds her winter coat.
