While watching Americans ride English on Youtube, and then watching English people ride English on Youtube, I've noticed there are quite a few differences- the way the horse rides over the jumps (which are generally lower and wider than ones here in the UK?), the way the horse carries itself and the way the rider sits. It seems like they have a much more 'sedate' seat when it comes to riding, however seem perhaps less secure because they seem to stand in the stirrups. This video is a good example (excluding the fall, just thought the footage was nice and clear and shows what I'm on about):

Any Americans out there who ride English kind enough to explain?
