I don't agree with one fact from this site. It says to start with English riding. I strongly (as many others do) recommend riding western to begin with, to achieve balance and knowledge of riding, without having to find balance from constantly pulling on your horses reins. Riding western is the best to begin with, as you will see, this type of riding is the primary type in which instructors teach their students the basics. It is then that you can graduate to English riding, and find that you are much more balanced and have many basic skills which, overall will lead you to become a great rider.
