I have had a couple of lessons and plan on having more once I'm earning enough, really enjoyed it and my horse seems quite happy to listen to me whether I'm riding western or english style

I am hoping to do a bit of both; as not looking to ride western all the time mainly hacking really.

Thank - you. I think it helps that my horse it quite chilled anyway and my English style with him has always been mostly seat with a lightish rein contact. He happily swaps between a round and secure contact(but reasonable light) for English and the longer lower no rein/very little contact for Western. Have fun with your saddle, what are you getting? Mine is a Circle Y Park and Trail and is very comfy!

I have gone for a colt saddle as recommended by my trainer; hope it wont take long to arrive he suggested this or a circle.
Hoping made the right choice.

Yah me, I'll ride any way you want, and drive too! I prefer western riding though for comfort and ease and that's the way my animals are trained.
