English riding

English riding is a disciplined style of horseback riding emphasizing control, posture, and precise movements. Riders use lightweight saddles and tack, focusing on communication with the horse through subtle aids like reins, legs, and weight shifts. It’s commonly practiced in competitions such as dressage, jumping, and eventing, promoting harmony and finesse between rider and horse. The approach values balance, position, and responsiveness, aiming for elegant and accurate execution of riding skills. Whether in show rings or training arenas, English riding fosters a refined connection that enhances the horse’s performance and the rider’s skill.
